Liverpool's Star Extends Statement to Teammates, Says Curtis Jones
Curtis Jones has revealed that Mohamed Salah said sorry to the group of players after the fallout from his recent interview.
The Fallout
Salah was left out from a vital match after criticising the club and claiming his connection to the head coach had soured.
“Salah is an individual and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “He apologised to us and was like: ‘If I’ve affected anybody, I apologise.’”
The manager has refused to comment publicly on whether he got an explanation from the 33-year-old forward.
Moving Forward
The player stated that the squad's reaction stayed normal. “He was the exact same Mo, he was smiling and everybody was exactly the same with him,” he continued.
The midfielder also noted that a teammate fighting for a place is less of an issue. “I get that there are specific approaches you can go about things,” he said. “But if a lad’s fine to just not start, then I think that’s concerning.”
On-Field Response
Liverpool's form have remained strong in the games following the interview fallout. The player is convinced the outburst were never meant to harm the team.
“When there’s been any sort of anger, it has consistently come from a desire to win,” Jones concluded. “That chapter is closed and we’re gelling well as a team, getting results and starting to win games.”
