Salah's public spat, team slump, Klopp's last Liverpool season doomed to regret?
Liverpool, still a contender for multiple titles last month, suffered a sudden collapse across all fronts in just two weeks. This season, they are likely to end their journey with only the League Cup championship. What truly pains Liverpool is their dismal performance in the past five league matches, winning only one, leaving their morale low. Moreover, the open conflict between the team's veteran coach and players on the field has left countless Liverpool fans disheartened.
Forwards Salah and Liverpool manager Klopp have collaborated for years, contributing significantly to the club's glorious achievements. It was unexpected for the two to openly clash on the field. During Liverpool's away match against West Ham United, Klopp chose to substitute Salah, but just as Salah was about to come on, Liverpool, previously leading, was equalized by West Ham United. Salah, waiting on the sidelines, was displeased with Klopp's substitution decision, leading to a confrontation characterized by intense body language and signs of verbal altercation, though the exact words exchanged remain unknown.
Subsequently, Salah's interview confirmed the conflict, despite Klopp stating after the match that he and Salah had talked and resolved any issues. Salah's comment during the interview, "I can't say, otherwise it will cause a major earthquake," sparked further speculation among reporters. Could Liverpool really be in turmoil?
For Liverpool fans, the conflict between key players and the coach is deeply saddening, especially in Klopp's final season at Liverpool. This season, Liverpool's highest potential trophy is the Premier League title. However, with only one victory in the past five matches, Liverpool is essentially out of contention for the Premier League title. Their title rivals, Manchester City and Arsenal, are unlikely to falter simultaneously, extinguishing Liverpool's hopes of a championship revival. In Klopp's final season, discord among the leadership and a missed Premier League title will undoubtedly leave a profound regret in Klopp's illustrious Liverpool career. |
