Arne Slot has asked Anfield to “show up” again for Real Madrid‘s Champions League visit, with Liverpool’s head coach not placing any expectation on the reception for a former player.Immediately following Liverpool’s morale-boosting win over the weekend, Slot spoke of how the unequivocal backing from the Anfield crowd “meant a lot” amid the team’s recent struggles.Now, with Real Madrid in town, the Dutchman is ready to harness the power of Anfield against a side that has won 13 of their 14 games this season.On his message to supporters, Slot said: “I can say to them, ‘Show up tomorrow and help us again like you did [on] Saturday’.“They were a big help for the team and, again, tomorrow we face a team that is on a great run of form, like Villa was as well. “It’s always very pleasant to play at home because in the run of form we had, we almost only played away games.“I think Anfield showed [on] Saturday how important they can be for the team, so let’s hope the players and the team, and the fans, can do the same tomorrow evening.”For players and fans alike, the occasion speaks for itself and a hostile atmosphere would have been expected with or without the added element of Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s return to Anfield. A lot of pre-match focus has centred on the reaction that awaits Alexander-Arnold on his Anfield return, but Slot could only speak to how he would receive his former player.“I can only tell you what kind of reception he will get from me. I have great memories of the player and the human being,” the Dutchman said.“He was our vice-captain, he was my vice-captain last season. I have memories working with him that were only positive, and I have memories from when I was watching him in front of the television, which are only positive as well.“I can remember multiple great moments of him wearing the Liverpool shirt. So, he will get a warm welcome from me.“Let’s first wait and see if he’s on the pitch tomorrow and how our fans will react. I have no clue how that’s going to be. But he gets a warm welcome from me, that’s for sure.”At least Slot is not preaching for a certain reaction from the fans!
