Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp responded to his player, Mohamed Salah, after he expressed his sadness for not obtaining the captaincy during the Danish Mitteland match in the framework of the group stage matches of the Champions League competition.
Klopp said in statements carried by the British newspaper “The Guardian”: “For me, it can be a challenge to train and manage players at the level of Mohamed Salah, but footballers must have a great deal of confidence so that they can do their best.”
He continued, “I was wrong when I decided to wear Trent Alexander Arnold as the captain’s armband in the Mytiland match.”
Klopp added: “I have been a leader for a long time in my career, and I have always thought what a job it is because there are not many benefits and there is a lot of work.”
He continued: “I did not feel the importance of the captain before the match, I did not realize how important this was to the players, and I did not realize the size of Trent’s story about his obtaining the captaincy.”
Klopp revealed: “The rule here in Liverpool is that four-wheeler Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Virgil Van Dyck and Jenny Vinaldom are the ones who have the right to get the captaincy, and if they are not all able to play, the player is usually the oldest in the club is the captain and this is what I saw in Arnold.”
He pointed out: “He spoke to Salah about this, then I realized that it did not work well so I explained that, it is clear that he was disappointed, but I did not do it on purpose, and if I made a mistake then it means that it was not the captain Divock Origi in this match.” .
Jurgen Klopp had also made clear his opinion about Salah’s future with Liverpool, saying: “No one can force him to stay.” (See the details)
This came after Salah revealed his opinion about his future with Liverpool, as the owner of the number 11 shirt opened the door to departure for the two Spanish football clubs, whether Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Salah moved to Liverpool from the Italian capital, Rome, in the summer of 2017, where the deal was estimated at 40 million euros, in addition to 8 million euros paid as extras.
It is worth noting that Salah has achieved four titles with Liverpool so far, which are: (English Premier League – European Champions League – European Super – Club World Cup).
