Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has made it clear that he is counting on the team's Japanese midfielder Endo Wataru.

- It's not about the player himself, but about the competition he faces. We have many good midfielders, as well as many great players in general.

We are very pleased with how Wataru is training with us, but he is dealing with high competition and I think today you saw a great performance from all three midfielders, so it's not always about him - it's also about the others. He will be an important player for us throughout the season because we count on all the players. We all know how long a season can be here and how many players you need. And he is one of those players we will need this season," said Arne Slot.
