A confrontation erupted between the manager and the forward just as Mo Salah was poised to enter the game as a second-half substitute at The London Stadium. Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with West Ham dealt a severe blow to their championship aspirations. Reflecting on the match, Salah ominously remarked, “If I were to speak, There will be fire!”
Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp had a heated exchange on the touchline amidst Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against West Ham. The confrontation unfolded as Salah, benched after a widely criticized display in Wednesday’s Merseyside derby, awaited his chance to enter the game with just 11 minutes left at The London Stadium.
After a West Ham chance went amiss, Klopp directed his attention towards Salah on the touchline. Words were exchanged between the two before Salah was intervened by Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez, who pushed him away.
Declining interview requests as he walked through the post-match mixed zone, Mo Salah conveyed to reporters, “If I were to speak today, things would certainly ignite.”
Klopp declined to disclose the trigger behind the incident, but he did mention:”We spoke already in the dressing room. For me, that’s done.”
