Liverpool scandal
Klopp and Salah argue in front of everyone
Liverpool FC's title dreams have been shattered after Saturday's disappointing 2-2 draw against West Ham. To make matters worse, an argument broke out between coach Jürgen Klopp and superstar Mohamed Salah in front of the fans in the stadium and TV viewers.
In the 79th minute of the match, Salah was on the touchline ready to be substituted. This led to a brief exchange of words between Klopp and the striker, who had to sit on the bench at the start of the match due to his recent poor performances.
The Egyptian became increasingly angry and swore at his coach. Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez, who were also available for substitution, had to calm down their team-mate to prevent the situation from escalating completely.
"If I spoke today, there would be a fire"
When Salah was asked about the scene after the game, he simply told reporters on his way to the dressing room: "If I spoke today, there would be a fire." Klopp did not want to dwell on the scene for long after the game. "We've already spoken about it, for me the matter is settled," said the German.
What triggered the Salah frustration? Possibly the late substitution ten minutes before the end - or, as the English Daily Mail suspects, a half-hearted handshake between Salah and Klopp, which prompted the coach to tell the striker off. Be that as it may, Klopp was certainly more annoyed on Saturday by the shattered title dream than the stress with his star.
