Mo Salah rebelled, publicly criticized Liverpool and coach Slot

Last season, Salah was the Premier League's best player. The 33-year-old Egyptian striker shone, scoring 29 goals and assisting 18 others, helping Liverpool win the title in his first season under coach Arne Slot.

That top form helped Salah get a contract extension from Liverpool. Before that, this striker seemed to be removed from the long-term plan by Liverpool's leadership. He only won a new contract after shining beyond expectations. However, Salah could no longer maintain his excellent form in the new season.

Since the start of the season, Salah has only scored 4 goals in 13 Premier League matches and another 1 goal in 5 matches in the European Cup 1. This striker is considered one of the main reasons for Liverpool's rapid decline, losing 9/12 matches in all competitions.

After a disastrous 4-1 defeat to PSV, Salah was dropped from the starting line-up by manager Arne Slot. Liverpool bounced back with a 2-0 win over West Ham. Salah continued to be on the bench against Sunderland and Leeds, but The Kop were held to consecutive draws.

After Liverpool were held to a 3-3 draw by Leeds early this morning, Salah shocked the world by publicly criticizing the club and coach Arne Slot. The Egyptian star also left open the possibility of leaving in January when he declared that his relationship with the head coach had "broken down".

Salah is dissatisfied with having to sit on the bench for 3 consecutive matches.

Sharing with reporters, Salah said: "I can't believe I had to sit on the bench for 90 minutes. This is the third consecutive match I have been left out. I think this is the first time in my career I have had to sit on the bench so much."

“I am very disappointed. I have given a lot to this club, especially last season. However, the club seems to have abandoned me. That is how I feel. Some people want to blame me. The club promised me a lot in the summer, so now I can say they are the ones who broke their promises.”

“I used to have a good relationship with coach Slot, but now it is not anymore. I don’t know why, but it seems like someone doesn’t want me to stay at Liverpool anymore.”

“I called my parents and told them to come to the Brighton game. It doesn’t matter if I play or not. I’ll enjoy the game. I’ll just go to Anfield and say goodbye to the fans before the Africa Cup of Nations because I don’t know what will happen when I’m there.”

“I feel like I’m being treated unfairly. If I were at another club, they would protect me. But here, they see me as a problem for the team. I don’t fight for my place every day because I deserve it. I’m not bigger than the club. I’m not bigger than anything. But I deserve to be in the starting lineup.”
