Liverpool are quickly going on a crossroad after their star player Mohammad Salah publicly spoke up and said that his relationship with the manager has broken down, so what will they do? How did this escalate to this point? Salah will join his country for AFCON after the game against Brighton next week.
Mohammad Salah gave Liverpool a decision to make after stating that he has no more relationship with the manager, Arne Slot. It’s almost impossible to see a way forward for both Arne Slot and Mohammad Salah, and whatever happens next, It will be Liverpool to decide.
Salah attends an interview with a journalist, in a very rare condition for him to do so, in order to send a message with powerful impact. After the mistreatment for him by getting benched for three games in a row, he felt that he needed to share what he felt was a lack of respect.
Although Salah’s words really showed his emotion, this also feels opportunistic to some extent. Would he still stop if Liverpool won the match against Leeds United and went to the 5th position in the Premier League table? The timing is a bit questionable.
Salah was choosing to speak his feeling, in a bad season when he has been rather silent, to send a message about his next step at the moment of spiral for Slot, who failed to take full points he needed to save his job against West Ham, Sunderland, and Leeds said Jammie Carrager.
Also, Arne Slot was the only part of the team that was mentioned by name by Salah. Whether it’s intentional or an accident, he made it ‘me vs him’. Although he might think that Arne did that first and to himself by making him watch as Liverpool blew two leads at Elland Road.
Mohammad Salah’s Reason to do The Interview
One thing that couldn’t be argued from that interview is just the fact that Salah wants to play football again, whether Liverpool is where he plays remains unclear. Liverpool will face Brighton next Saturday, his last game before joining AFCON, could be his farewell to Anfield and Liverpool’s fans.
Salah was precise with his words, stopping short of saying he wanted to leave. “I will be at Anfield [for the Brighton game] to say goodbye to the fans and go to the Africa cup I don’t know what is going to happen when I am there.”
It will be interesting to see which club will be his next destination if he decides to leave Liverpool.
