Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that the recent argument between him and Mohamed Salah has been fully resolved, dismissing it as a non-issue.
The altercation occurred during last weekend’s 2-2 draw against West Ham, when Salah, who was initially benched, expressed frustration as he was about to come on as a substitute. However, Klopp emphasized that there is no lingering problem between them.
Speaking about the incident on Friday, Klopp stated, “There’s no problem. We are absolutely fine with it. It’s a non-story.”
Despite Salah’s initial reluctance to address the matter, Klopp assured that the situation has been handled internally and that they have a mutual understanding and respect for each other.
Acknowledging the disappointment of dropping points in the crucial fixture, Klopp highlighted the importance of maintaining a positive atmosphere within the team. He emphasized the need for unity and focus as Liverpool continues to pursue success both domestically and in Europe.
Reflecting on the incident, Klopp remarked, “If we didn’t know each other for that long I am not sure how we would deal with it but we have known each other for that long and respect each other so much that it’s really no problem.”
The manager also hinted that the incident might have been avoided if the team had been in a better position during the match. Nonetheless, Klopp remains confident in the team’s ability to overcome challenges and achieve their goals as the season progresses.
With Liverpool still in contention for silverware, Klopp and Salah’s ability to put aside differences and focus on the collective objectives will be crucial in the final stretch of the season.
