Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp revealed his opinion on Mohamed Salah’s remarks, revealing his displeasure at not obtaining the captaincy during the match against Maitland in the Champions League.
The two teams met in the sixth round of this month’s UEFA Champions League group round on 9 December, which ended in a positive one-on-one draw.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was awarded the captaincy of that game because none of those responsible for carrying him were in the starting lineup.
This made Mohamed Salah feel upset, as he admitted in his interview with the Spanish newspaper “AS” a week ago (more details here).
Klopp responded, “You’ve been a leader for a long time in my career, and what a job it is because there aren’t a lot of benefits you get, just a lot of work with all the things around you.
He added: “I didn’t feel the importance of being a captain, we do have a captain like Henderson.” Yes, we have a captain, and this is important, but to be captain for a game, I didn’t realize how important that is for the players because in this world now everything is a great story.
He continued: “I didn’t realize it was a big story for Arnold. The rule here is that there is a group of players responsible for running the captaincy and it’s Henderson, Milner, Van Dyck and Vinaldom, I don’t need four, but if Henderson doesn’t play, then there’s Milner, and if he doesn’t play. ” Both, there is a van Dyck or a Vinaldom “.
And he added: “If not all of them could play, then generally the oldest player in the club is the one who leads the captaincy, this was according to my understanding and so I chose Arnold, it is not about supporting the youth or something like that. One one of them told me later that it should have been Origi was chosen and that was my fault for her loan periods and things like that.
And he continued: “I didn’t make it complicated, and I gave Arnold the captaincy. I spoke with Mohamed Salah about this after facing Maitland, and then I realized that it was not working well, so I explained it to him, and then he did that press interview, so that’s not a problem for me. ” .
He concluded: “Salah said that he was disappointed and that he didn’t do it on purpose, I did what I did, and if I made a mistake it’s that I didn’t choose Origi as captain of the team.
Origi is reported to have moved to Liverpool from Lille in the summer of 2014, while Mohamed Salah moved to the club from Rome in the summer of 2017.
