Liverpool boss Arne Slot feels Cody Gakpo had no reason to dive to win a penalty against Bournemouth

00:00From who is the controversy? Online there's always controversy,

00:04so especially from fans that are probably not in favour of Liverpool.

00:09The only thing I can say is, and I haven't seen it back,

00:12is that one of my players is on a clear 1v1 to the goalkeeper

00:16and he's falling down.

00:18So either he makes a zwalbe, is that an English word as well?

00:21A dive? Either he makes a dive... It's a German word.

00:25Either he makes a dive or they touch him,

00:28and if they touch him, then for me it's a penalty.

00:31And if then it would not have even been a chance,

00:35you're always like, is this really a penalty then?

00:36But this was such a clear 1v1 chance that if he touched him,

00:43which I assume he did, otherwise the VAR would have probably interfered.
