Liverpool FC coach Arne Slot did not hide his discomfort at the winning press conference. He even unleashed fierce criticism toward the winning goal 'new student'. He openly said "I did something stupid."
Did the slot manager go too far. It's not like that at all. This is because the behavior of new striker Hugo Ekitike, who scored the winning goal in the game, was so stupid that he had nothing to say even if he was criticized even more. Ekitike insulted the rest of his opponents intoxicated by the fact that he had scored a goal, ignored the dedication of his teammate and caused long-term harm to the team.
In response, the British media Daily Mail reported on the 24th (Korea time) 'Slot witnessed the incredible behavior of Ekitike. Ekitike saved the team, but caused unnecessary problems with actions that even his teammates would think were ridiculous,' the report said.

Ekitike was replaced by Alexander Isaac at the start of the second half. Ekitike then scored the winning goal in the 41st minute of the second half when the score was 1-1. Federico Chiesa's sharp key pass was delivered exactly to Ekittike, who scored with a powerful right-footed shot. Liverpool colleagues were delighted to embrace Ekittike. So far, it's a near-perfect scene.
However, Ekitike's sudden action immediately erupted, and the expressions of Liverpool players and benches froze for a moment. Ekitike, so intoxicated with the winning goal, shook off his teammates and went toward the stands, suddenly taking off his uniform top and shaking it.

From Liverpool's point of view, it is an absurd scene and a scene in a big crisis. Southampton are now able to score an equalizer with their numerical advantage. Fortunately, Liverpool won 2-1 without overturning the game. The defense's dedicated defense secured the victory.
Liverpool did not fully enjoy the joy of victory because of Ekitike's reckless behavior. The anger and vitriol of the slot director are fully understood.
The slot manager said after the game, "Was it an unnecessary action? Of course it is. I should have controlled my emotions"I've said the same thing before when I was sent off. It doesn't matter if you vent your emotions. But if the action leads to a warning or exit, it is a stupid action. If he had scored and taken off in the Champions League final, he could have understood. But in a game like today, there is absolutely no reason for that. It was a stupid move"It hit Ekittike directly.

Criticism as harsh as this is rare. If Ekitike's ransom was low, it could be excluded from the power. However, it is difficult for the slot manager to leave out Ekitike. This is because the team hired him for a large amount of almost £100 million.
Ekitike, a young striker from France, transferred to Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga in the 2023-2024 season after passing through Start de Reims and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and played in the Bundesliga as the full recruitment option was activated in the 2024-2025 season.
He wrote a new career high in the 2024-2025 season. He formed a two-top with Omar Marmusi, leading Frankfurt to a sensation. In the end, Ekitike stood tall as the league's top striker with 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 official games in the 2024-2025 season. He tied for sixth place in the Bundesliga scoring, fourth place in attack points, and first place in expected scores.

Maybe that's why the slot director criticized it more strongly. He warned that he should no longer do this stupid thing. Ekitike will not be able to play in the sixth round of the league against Crystal Palace on the 27th due to the accumulation of the warning. It's another loss for Liverpool.
