Slot was asked about the scientists' claims and replied, "I heard that story (about the tremors). It happened when Mo scored as well?" He added that the experience has made him and the team more determined to achieve their goals.
"It's definitely true that now we've experienced this once we know why we come in every single morning for training and to achieve things like this. Now knowing what it meant to the people makes the desire to do it again has probably grown even more," Slot said.
Slot also praised the fans, saying that the atmosphere at Anfield was special. "I think even for the fans, even for the biggest fans, it was very special. We all know what these fans can do, but to see them all in red and to see them all staying in the stadium. It wasn't only the Kop. It was every stand. It was so, so special to see how much it meant to the people."
Slot compared the Liverpool fans' passion to that of Feyenoord fans, where he previously worked. "Feyenoord mostly win the league once every seven or eight years. Ajax and PSV do it more often. We've won the league twice in five years now, but because the fans weren't there in 2020, it was 35 years ago since they last saw it."
Slot concluded that the fans' excitement was palpable, saying, "I think you could feel that 35 years. You could feel it and see it in everybody's eyes."
