Liverpool defender Quansah: Slot hook a kick up the backside

Quansah was changed by new manager Arne Slot in the first game of the season.

He said: "It's a long season, I have the whole season to prove myself.

"It's given me a kick up the backside, you could say. I'll keep grafting on the training pitch and that's all it is.

"It's never a nice feeling as a footballer to be subbed off at half-time but at the end of the day it was the gaffer's decision but it was the right one.

"It obviously worked because we won, so I can only focus on myself, improve myself, kick forward and move on to the next game. I'm staying ready for whenever it comes."
