Mohamed Salah has hit out at Liverpool's management, suggesting that someone wants to blame him for the poor results. The Egyptian striker was benched in the match against Leeds (33). It was the third consecutive match in which he did not start as a starter, reports sportal.bg.
“I just couldn't believe that I would spend the whole 90 minutes on the bench. This is the third time this has happened. I don't think it has ever happened before in my career, said the angry Salah. - I'm very disappointed. I've done so much for this club over the years, especially last season. And now I feel like the club is just throwing me under the bus. That's exactly how I feel. Someone wants all the blame to fall on me. The club promised me a lot in the summer. And now I'm on the bench and I can say that they didn't keep their word.“
He also admitted to his strained relationship with manager Arne Slot. “We used to have a good relationship. Now we don't have any and I don't even understand why. It's like someone doesn't want to see me at the club,” Salah complained. The Egyptian announced that he might play his last game for Merseyside before leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations.
“I called my mum and dad and told them to come to the Brighton game. It doesn't matter if I play or not. I just want to enjoy myself. I will be at Anfield, I will say goodbye to the fans before the Africa Cup of Nations because I don't know what will happen while I'm there," Salah said.
"For me, honestly, this is unacceptable. If I was at any other club, they would have defended me. And here: "We throw Mo under the bus because he is the problem". I don't think so. I am not the problem. I don't fight every day for my place because I have earned it. I am not bigger than the club. I am not bigger than anything. But I have earned this place," the Egyptian concluded.
