Mohamed Salah reveals the truth of Jurgen Klopp relationship after Liverpool altercation
Mohamed Salah has shared insights about his bond with Jürgen Klopp before the German manager’s last match with Liverpool, expressing confidence that they will stay in touch for life.
Klopp is set to leave Liverpool tomorrow, managing the team for the final time in a match against Wolves. This event will be emotionally charged, giving fans a last chance to express their gratitude to the outgoing manager.
However, Liverpool’s recent performance has been inconsistent. They have secured only three victories in their last nine matches across all competitions and squandered a 3-1 lead against Aston Villa on Monday, ending the game with a draw.
The frustration of Liverpool’s players has been evident on several occasions, notably when Salah expressed his anger during last month’s draw with West Ham. The Egyptian had a heated exchange with Klopp as he was about to enter the pitch from the bench.
This altercation sparked rumors about the state of their relationship and Salah’s future at the club. However, as Klopp’s final game approached, there were no indications of any lingering resentment from the 31-year-old towards his outgoing manager.
“I always look at this situation as a human being,” Salah told Sky Sports. “He improved me as a player for sure and I helped him a lot as a manager for sure, we helped each other a lot and we gave everything to the club to win trophies, everyone can see that.
“But the thing I take from that as a human being, as a person, if I am in trouble I can speak to him and ask as a person. I think we will keep the communication for sure forever, for life. Because it is not just a relationship with work, we also take it outside and we are going to stay in contact forever.”
Speaking about his first memories of working with Klopp, Salah said: “I think at first in the first call we had, the thing that stuck in my mind was him explaining to me he wanted me to come here. And he basically explained to me that he was building a new team at the club and Sadio [Mané] and Bobby [Firmino] are there and he wanted me to play in the side.
“My football, he said: ‘I am going to improve your football and give you the freedom to do what you want.’ And then I was like OK, I am going to come. I came and then the rest, you can see.
“We are here for seven or eight years together so there are too many moments [to choose] but I think winning the Premier League in that game when Chelsea beat Man City, and also winning the Champions League is a thing that sticks in my mind because there are too many emotions involved.”
