Slot leaves Salah at home: “He had no right to do it”

Confirming the feelings of the past few days, Arne Slot has decided not to call up Mohamed Salah for tonight’s big match at San Siro against Inter. After a very harsh outburst against the team and coach in recent days, the very strong Egyptian striker will not take part in tonight’s trip to Milan. His experience at Liverpool, as admitted by the Dutch coach in a press conference, may have come to an end.

This is what Slot said about Salah ahead of Inter-Liverpool: “After his outburst, which we did not expect, we informed him that he would not be flying with us to Milan and his reaction was… brief. Before Saturday we had talked a lot and I don’t know why he felt betrayed by the team. I am a calm and polite coach, but that doesn’t mean I am weak. He has the right to feel these emotions, but not to spread them to the media. And on our part, we have the right to respond… I believe things can go back to normal, even though I was surprised to read his statements: my authority has not been undermined, in the end it is a complicated matter for everyone that impacts the team.”
