“There will be fire”: Mohamed Salah comments on his touchline altercation with Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool’s title hope seems to be fading away as The Reds failed to beat West Ham United in London. However, what stole the spotlight was not the Liverpool fans’ unwanted result. It was the beef between Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp in the second half that was more concerning. 

Heading to the last 10 minutes of normal time, Klopp put Salah in for Luis Diaz. That’s when the Egyptian forward and the gaffer appeared to exchange resentful words to each other. After the game, Salah refused to reveal the conversation between them.

When asked about the incident by The Athletic’s James Pearce, Salah explained that he better not tell what happened. “If I speak today there will be fire.”

On a separate occasion, Klopp admitted that everything was under control. The former Borussia Dortmund tactician said that he has solved the heated up situation with Salah. 

No [I can’t say what was said],” Klopp told TNT Sports. “We spoke already in the dressing room [about the incident]. For me that’s done.”
