Liverpool vs Real Betis: Pre-season friendly - LIVE!
Arne Slot is coaching the Liverpool team for the first time as they face Real Betis in Pittsburgh tonight. Last week, his team lost to Preston in a private match, but it's not a big concern. Now, the new era begins officially, with Real Betis expected to be a stronger opponent.
It will be interesting to see how Slot manages a team that had a successful season under Jurgen Klopp. There is a lot of potential to work with, but taking over from a well-known manager is a tough task. It is uncertain if the former Feyenoord boss can lead the team to success.
The club is beginning its pre-season tour in the United States with their first game against Arsenal and Manchester United. Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai are both in the starting lineup, but the defense looks young and inexperienced for Liverpool.
