Arne Slot has now responded to Mo Salah after his social media comments, and our head coach has done so in a way that should help defuse some of the tension before Sunday’s final game against Brentford.
The Egyptian’s post after our 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa created headlines everywhere, not least because he spoke about wanting Liverpool to return to being the “heavy metal attacking team” opponents feared.Slot responds to Salah commentsSpeaking at his pre-Brentford press conference at the AXA Training Centre, via Liverpool FC on YouTube, Slot was asked about Salah and his message ahead of the forward’s final appearance at Anfield.
The Dutchman said: “Mo and I both have the same interest: we want the best for this club. We want the club to be as successful as possible.”It was a calm and measured response from the 47-year-old, especially given how much noise there has been around the situation since Salah’s post was published.There would have been an easy opportunity for Slot to make this about himself, or to escalate matters publicly, but he instead tried to bring the conversation back to Liverpool and what both men want for the club.
