Liverpool continued its pressure on Manchester City in the English Premier League, after beating Brighton away, Saturday, with goals from Colombian Luis Diaz and Egyptian Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool raised its score to 66 points, 3 points ahead of Manchester City, who will face Crystal Palace, on Monday, away from home, in the match to restore the title holder of the English Premier League, who lost in the first round match at the Etihad Stadium, with two clean goals.
The cameras of the Liverpool-Brighton match monitored a verbal altercation between the German Juergen Klopp and the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, in the first half of the meeting, after a ball in which Salah ran from the left side and evaded the Brighton defense before he shot into the body of the host team goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Klopp got angry at Salah, asking him to cooperate with his colleagues and pass the ball to them, and shouted at him: “Pass the ball,” before Salah replied in a state of wonder: “To whom did I pass the ball?”
And the British newspaper, “Mirror”, said that this snapshot comes in light of the ambiguous and frozen situation between Mohamed Salah and the Liverpool administration regarding the renewal of the Egyptian star’s contract with the Reds, which ends in the summer of 2023.
Klopp had indicated that the ball is now in Salah’s court, stressing that Liverpool did everything in his power to renew the contract of his first star, and there would be no more, he said, but at the same time he stressed not to rush to judge things now.
Ramy Abbas, Mohamed Salah’s agent, responded to Klopp’s comments, through a tweet on the social networking site “Twitter”, in a sarcastic manner, which sparked controversy over the role of the “Egyptian King” business manager in the negotiations.
Fabrizio Romano, a prominent Italian journalist who is familiar with the news of the transfer market, said that Mohamed Salah’s desire is to stay in Liverpool, but he wants certain financial conditions to continue at “Anfield”.
Salah is the top scorer in the English Premier League with 20 goals, 8 goals behind his closest rival, Portuguese striker Diego Jota, Liverpool striker.
