“Ibu” vows to show his form to win over the slot and become the main player for the Reds. wintime999

wintime999 Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté is keen to prove himself in order to win over new head coach Arne Slots, with the pre-season tour likely to be a bit of a blur. wintime999

Konaté is off to France at Euro 2024, so he is not the first team to join the training camp with Slot, losing his starting spot to Jarrell Quansah in the season-opening 2-0 win over Ipswich.  ( wintime999 )

However, the Frenchman claimed his place in the table in the 2-0 win over Brentford at the weekend and will be hoping to keep it going strong. 

“I’m happy and I’ve shown what I can do because I think people forget what I did last season or what I did against Ipswich,” he told the official website. 

“Now I have to show that I am ready for this season as best as I can. I hope to become the best defender in the world this season.” 

“We have to prepare for the next game. It’s a big game (against Manchester United) which comes very quickly.” 

“It’s not 100% settled yet because we’re working with a new head coach, we’re starting to do new things – but it’s settled down better and we’re ready to deliver 100% as the new boss wants.”
