Mohamed Salah Offers Statement to Liverpool Dressing Room, Says Curtis Jones
Curtis Jones has disclosed that the Egyptian forward apologised to the team after the uproar from his televised remarks.
What Happened
Salah was left out from a vital match following criticising the club and stating his connection to the head coach had soured.
“Mo is his own man and he can say his own stuff,” Jones revealed. “He said sorry to the group and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, I'm sorry.’”
Arne Slot has chosen not to reveal on whether he was apologised to from the player.
Moving Forward
The player stated that the squad's reaction stayed normal. “He was his usual self, his demeanour was positive and everybody was exactly the same with him,” he continued.
He also implied that a competitor wanting to play is a positive trait. “I get that there are specific approaches you can express yourself,” he said. “However, if a player is content to just not start, then I think that’s concerning.”
Team Form
Liverpool's form have been impressive in the matches since the interview fallout. The player is convinced the outburst were not intended to destabilise the squad.
“If passion has boiled over, it has consistently come from a desire to win,” Jones concluded. “It's behind us and we’re uniting strongly, playing well and on a positive run.”
