"Salah may have been emotional having been benched for the third successive game, but stunning waiting reporters not only by stopping to speak but by dropping a series of grenades during a post-match interview lasting more than seven minutes was not a case of heart ruling head. It never is when one of the greatest players to pull on the red shirt deigns to address the media."
"And Keane's words were not made public at the time. The full transcript has still never appeared. The Egypt international twice accused Liverpool of throwing him under a bus in response to their dismal Premier League title defence. Salah made sure that everyone else at Liverpool the club's hierarchy, head coach and even teammates he professed to love would be under it with him."
Mohamed Salah publicly stated that his relationship with Liverpool and head coach Arne Slot is broken following a confrontational post-match interview at Elland Road on Saturday night. Salah had been benched for a third successive game and conducted a more-than-seven-minute media appearance that leveled accusations at the club hierarchy and coach. Salah claimed the club threw him under a bus and suggested someone wants him out, implicating sporting director Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards at Fenway Sports Group. The episode poses a test of internal support for Slot, recalls Roy Keane's MUTV controversy, and suggests Salah may have overplayed his hand.
