Liverpool continues to put itself in the way of its closest pursuers in the Premier League table. With the little hand he gave to Julen Lopetegui’s team in London, Arne Slot’s team now has 45 points, eight more than the surprising Nottingham Forest.
From there, the renewals of its three top stars, Virgil Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold and Mo Salah, who conclude their relationship with the red club this coming June, also continue at the same point.
One of the main protagonists of the win in the West Ham fiefdom was Mohammed Salah, author of the third goal for Arne Slot’s team in a match that was far from the one played last year, when the Egyptian himself came off the bench arguing also with Jurgen Klopp who saw that the Premier was escaping with that 2-2 result at the Hammers stadium.
After yesterday’s game, the Egyptian went through the microphones of the English press where he admitted that his teammates had reminded him of that episode, which ended with a private conversation in the locker room. There were those who spoke of divorce at that time and of a monumental crisis between the star and the coach. “If I speak today, there would be a fire,” the Egyptian even said.
The Egyptian, who was a substitute in Liverpool’s draw (2-2) against West Ham, had a heated discussion with the German coach when he was preparing to take the field.
With that topic already forgotten, Salah also spoke about something that has many Anfield fans in suspense. Your future.
“I don’t want something to appear in the media and people to start saying things, but nothing has really changed. For now I’m focused on the team and I hope we win the Premier League.”
This is how a club closes the year, Liverpool, which, if not for the scenario it has in terms of the renewals of three of its sacred cows, could be said to be facing one of the most exultant seasons in recent years, and even more so, when Almost everyone believed that the departure of Jurgen Klopp from the technical direction was going to cause a cataclysm in the English team.
