Mohamed Salah posted about Liverpool needing to return to playing heavy metal football, a style linked to former manager Jurgen Klopp. The post drew attention amid reported friction between Salah and manager Arne Slot, whose support has reportedly declined after a difficult second campaign. Wirtz defended Salah, saying he did not view the post as an attack on Slot. Wirtz described Salah as an honest player who speaks his mind and has a strong mentality and work ethic. Wirtz said the situation was made bigger than it was and that Salah wanted to alert the club to improve because he is leaving. Wirtz also suggested the team must do better next season.
"Wirtz has insisted he didn't see Salah's post as an attack on Slot, with the former Bayer Leverkusen man backing the manager even if he also admitted things need to be better next season. Mo has known the club for a long time now. He's just an honest guy. He says what he thinks. This should be OK. If you want to speak, you should be able to speak, Wirtz said."
"Of course, it was a bit of a difficult season for all of us, including Mo. In my opinion, it got made bigger than it was. I don't think he attacked anyone. He added: I like Mo's mentality in general how he sees things, how he works. He's a guy you can listen to, because he has seen a lot. He wasn't attacking anyone."
"With the likes' players gave, I think it was made too big. For me, it was just a thing that he wanted to say because he's leaving. He wanted to make everyone in the club alert that we have to work more and do better. Want more CaughtOffside coverage?
