Mohamed Salah has expressed his deep frustration following Liverpool’s defeat to Aston Villa on Friday, in a sharp message that appears to be aimed at manager Arne Slot.
The relationship between the club legend and the Dutch coach has been strained since last November. Slot’s post-match comments, suggesting that qualifying for the Champions League makes everything “okay,” clearly did not sit well with the 34-year-old forward.
Salah on Identity: “Winning Some Games is Not What Liverpool is About”
Taking to social media, Salah reflected on the club’s transformation during his 9-year tenure: “I’ve watched this club turn from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work, and I always gave my all.”
He criticized the team’s recent collapse, stating, “I want to see Liverpool return to the loud, attacking team that rivals fear. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be; all teams win matches.”
The Final Dance at Anfield
Salah’s message felt like a farewell, as he emphasized that Liverpool’s identity must be non-negotiable for anyone joining the club. He concluded, “Champions League qualification is the bare minimum, and I will do everything to achieve it.”
Salah is set to make his final appearance for the Reds against Brentford this Sunday, marking the end of an incredible era filled with historic achievements.
