The words of the former AC Milan striker on the Egyptian striker, at the center (together with Slot) of a case that is shaking the Liverpool community

Marco Van Basten, one of the legends of world football and symbol of Milan, spoke to Ziggo Sport to comment on the case that is shaking the Liverpool environment: the tense relationship between Mohamed Salah and the new technician Arne Slot.

The statements of Marco Van Basten and Salah

The former Dutch champion did not mince words, pointing the finger at the Egyptian striker’s attitude: “Last year it was something incredible, but in recent months it has performed less than it can do. Slot is a direct and sincere person, while Salah started attacking him and behaving unfairly.”

Harsh words towards one of the recent symbols of the Reds, protagonist of a long series of successes with the club in recent years. Liverpool’s crisis, according to many, arose precisely from Slot’s decision to leave him on the bench for three consecutive games. After the third exclusion – in the 3-3 draw against Leeds – Salah decided to let off steam publicly. “I gave everything to this club, and now I find myself on the bench for no reason. It seems like someone wants to make me the scapegoat,” Salah had declared. A case that is dividing fans and professionals, and which Van Basten did not hesitate to comment with great harshness.
