The reason behind the argument between Mohamed Salah, an Egyptian winger, and Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp during their Saturday, April 27, 2024, match against West Ham has been revealed by The Sun, a well-known newspaper in the United Kingdom.
Salah and Klopp got into it. A quick conversation took place on the sidelines as the winger was being brought into the game. After Klopp approached Salah and whispered something in his ears, he appeared irritated and began to gesture angrily. The Egyptians became enraged and responded to Klopp.
Then, Salah attempted to approach his coach, but teammate Darwin Nunez stopped him in his tracks. The Sun revealed on Monday, April 29, 2024, which was sighted by 1Family Radio, on its front page that Salah’s refusal to speak with his manager prior to his substitution caused tension between the two.
According to a source from Liverpool quoted in the paper, “This has happened occasionally with players like Jurgen.” He feels that with Mo, it didn’t happen at first, and he is very strong on interacting with his subs.
The players were given a few days off following the game, and they will reassemble on Tuesday, according to the source. It has been anticipated that the intentions will have subsided.
Liverpool’s title chase ended with a 2-2 draw against West Ham United, marred by a minor incident.
Liverpool has three games remaining in the season and is third in the league standings with 75 points.
With a game remaining, Arsenal leads the standings with 80 points, one more than second-place Manchester City.
