Not long ago it was a family, an oasis of harmony and camaraderie, a pack loyal to their leader who wanted to say goodbye to him with a poker of titles that only a small triumph remained.
Today, everyone struggles between disbelief, confusion, helplessness and the unfavorable internal climate of a Liverpool that is witnessing a divorce, live and direct, between the coach who changed the history of the club and the striker who broke all records and became a legend.

The image in the match against West Ham was telling: Salah reluctantly greeted his boss and, when he complained, told him to shut up, while Darwin Núñez intervened to distance his team-mate and reduce the tension of the moment, which was much more talked about. than the game. What happened between the ‘red’ idols?
It so happened that while the German wanted to settle the matter, saying that “we talked about it with the boys, it is resolved”, his subordinate added fuel to the flame by saying: “if I talk there will be a fire” in the mixed zone.
What is behind the fight?
For The Sun newspaper, it was a normal affair for a poor performance moment: “Klopp is very fond of interacting with his substitutes before they go on the pitch and felt that hadn’t happened at the start with Mo (Salah) “Of course Mo upset at being left out of the team and was not in the best mood, while Jürgen (Klopp) was not happy with his behaviour.”
For Jamie Carragher, he wanted to understand them both without judging them: “Mo Salah and Jürgen Klopp are Liverpool legends. We don’t have to take sides! Salah is frustrated and angry with Jürgen because he is not playing and at that moment he did not want to fully embrace his boss and Jürgen understandably made that exception. Mo (Salah) was wrong with his comment in the mixed zone but let’s let them fix it and enjoy the last few weeks together. “They have helped each other a lot in everything that has been achieved at the club.”
The truth is that Salah has not had his best season, partly due to injuries and difficulties in resuming his usual rhythm, and the analysts see it.
?
Peter Crouch said on TNT Sports: “It didn’t look good, I don’t think it looks good for the club. Mo Salah is a player who has started most of Liverpool’s games and will be furious to be on the bench. “But nobody likes to see this between a coach and a key player.”
Teammate Ally McCoist added: “You see Salah coming back for another bite and one of his team-mates looks like he has to intervene; These things should be behind closed doors. I think Salah will go. He’s been one of the best players we’ve seen in this league, nothing short of fantastic for Liverpool, but his form has dipped and it looks to me like he could be on the move. “It could suit both parties: Salah to move on and Liverpool to reinvest the money they get for him.”
?
will it work? The Liverpool Echo and The Athletic agree that it is the basis for next season, already with Arne Slot on the bench instead of Klopp. But the reality is that it could also be that if Liverpool want to recoup some of what the Egyptian, by far the highest paid in the squad, is costing them, the time to release him is now, in the next market, knowing that the Super Saudi League is there is great interest and the numbers will be in the millions. Will the club be without its two idols in the end? Others left before them and the club continued to stand. Layer over names, once again.
