The wrath of the Pharaoh.
Liverpool still can’t get their heads above water. Hanging on the buzzer by Leeds this Saturday (3-3), the Reds are floundering in a disappointing eighth place in the Premier League. And in this negative spiral, one man particularly attracts attention: Mohamed Salah. With only five goals in 19 matches in all competitions, the Egyptian remained on the bench against the Peacocksas in the two previous matches against Sunderland (coming into play at half-time) and West Ham (where he was not used).
“Someone doesn’t want me at the club anymore”
Strong choices from Arne Slot which greatly upset Salah, as he explained to TV 2 Sport following the draw: « I’m very disappointed, I’ve done so much for this club. Everyone has seen it in recent years, especially last season. I don’t understand why I’m on the bench. Any club would protect its player. I feel like the club is betraying me, that’s really how I feel. » The unease seems all the more profound as Salah did not hesitate to talk about his now strained relationship with his coach: « I have said many times that I have a good relationship with the coach, but suddenly that is no longer the case. I don’t know why. Looks like someone doesn’t want me at the club anymore. I do not accept this situation. »

The 33-year-old winger, extended at the end of last season for two stints on the banks of the Mersey, went even further, casting doubt on his immediate future by half-heartedly mentioning a separation, perhaps as soon as he leaves for the CAN next January. « At Anfield (against Brighton, December 13), I will say “Bye” to the supporters, because I am leaving for the African Championship. I don’t know what will happen there. »
