The tense discussion between Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp in the last game of the Liverpool continues to give something to talk about. After speculation and contradictory versions, Michail AntonioWest Ham player, has revealed in the Footballer’s Football podcast what really happened on the field.
According to Antonio, the fight was sparked by Salah’s delay in entering the field. When the rest of the Liverpool players were ready to enter, Salah lingered on the sideline, apparently putting on his shin guards and performing other actions.
The discussion between Salah and Klopp
Klopp, seeing him, extended his hand to hug him and wish him luck, but Salah rejected him with a simple high-five. The Egyptian’s gesture infuriated the German coach, who reproached him for his attitude with the phrase: “Do you want to sit down again?”
Salah’s response did not want to be revealed by Antonio, but it is presumed that it was harsh and full of insults towards Klopp. The situation escalated rapidly, forcing Darwin Nunez to intervene to calm things down.
Future away from Anfield?
Antonio’s revelations confirm the tension that existed between Salah and Klopp at the time. The Egyptian’s delay in entering the field and his subsequent gesture towards the German coach seem to be the keys that triggered the discussion.
It remains to be seen how this incident will affect the future of Salah and Liverpool. The Egyptian is one of the most important players on the team and the tension with Klopp, despite the fact that he is living his last days at the Reds, could lead to his departure from the club. For now, Antonio’s revelation adds fuel to the fire and leaves even more questions about Liverpool’s future.
