jamie carragher has responded to mohammed salahbomb of liverpool His comments in the interview were described as “disrespectful” and the star forward was accused of trying to get the head coach Arne Slott Dismissed and only thinking about “me, me, me.”
In a surprise rebuke of one of Liverpool’s greatest players, who Carragher said would go down in history as a Liverpool legend, the former defender and Sky Sports pundit reminded Salah that he had not won anything before arriving at Anfield and that football is not about the “individual”.
Salah made the claim during a rare chat with journalists on Saturday Liverpool have thrown him “under the bus” and told my relationship was broken with the slot He was left on the bench during the draw at Leeds. Salah has Has now been left out of the squad to face Inter Milan On Tuesday.
Carragher and Salah have exchanged words before. The former Liverpool defender told Salah to become a “leader” just two weeks ago and accused the 33-year-old speaking only when it suits him,
Sensing further criticism from Carragher when speaking to the media at Elland Road, Salah checked Pandit’s name And added: “Tomorrow Carragher is going to go for me again and again and that’s OK.”
Carragher says he does not like to criticize Salah because of his immense contribution to Liverpool’s recent success, but last week he claimed The forward’s “legs are gone”With captain Virgil van Dijk.
Salah, who is Liverpool’s third-highest scorer of all-time with 250 goals, took that criticism personally and referenced England striker Harry Kane as he explained Why does he feel he is not given much respect?,
And on Sky Sports’ monday night footballCarragher defended his criticism of Salah, declaring: “When Salah tries to throw my club under the bus I will go after him”.
“I thought what he did after the game was disrespectful,” Carragher but said sky sports“Some people have portrayed it as an emotional outburst, I don’t think it was, I think whenever Mo Salah stops in the mixed zone, which he has done four times in eight years at Liverpool, it is choreographed by him and his agent to cause maximum damage and consolidate his position,
“He did that 12 months ago and I called him out on it. He played on the heartbeat of the Liverpool supporters. Liverpool were top of the league, he scored the winning goal at Southampton and it was time to come out and put pressure on the Liverpool ownership.
“He has chosen this weekend to do it, and I think he has waited for Liverpool to pick a bad result. The supporters, the manager, everyone at the club feel they are in the gutter and he has chosen that time to go to the manager and maybe sack him.
“The one line that stands out to me is ‘thrown under the bus’. He’s thrown the club under the bus twice in the last 12 months. With the manager in charge now, he should be doing as much as possible to help the club get out of their worst period since the 1950s and he hasn’t.”
Carragher acknowledged that star players like Salah don’t expect to be on the bench and are upset when they are, but he blasted the 33-year-old’s “ego” and reminded him that football is a team sport. In April, Salah was awarded a lucrative two-year contract after leading Liverpool to the Premier League title in a record-breaking campaign, but he has scored only five goals this season and Liverpool have won only four of their last 15 matches, while losing nine.
“You talk about the egos of these types of players, Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappé, Salah. I think they feel the success of a football club depends on them,” Carragher said. “When you’re in a situation like that it becomes a problem. When Mo Salah talks about how many goals he’s scored, ‘I’ve got more than anyone else in the Premier League’, he’s always talking about himself.
“I would remind Salah and his agent that before he came to Liverpool he was known as a failure at Chelsea. Before coming to Liverpool he had never won a major trophy. He is also the greatest player ever in Egypt. Egypt is the most successful country in the Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] And he’s going there in a few weeks.
“Salah has never won the Afcon. I’m not trying to put him down as a player. He’s been one of the best players in the world over the last eight years, very few are better. But, it tells Salah and his agent that it’s not about any one individual.
“You weren’t a big star before you came to Liverpool. You haven’t won anything with Egypt. All that is to say, no matter how good a player you are, you need help from your teammates, your manager and the fans. I think it’s really important he remembers that. When he’s talking after games, it’s all about me, me, me.”
Carragher also called Salah’s defending this season “shameful”, and explained the reason Slote has given up on progress as Liverpool struggleAnd added: “Have I ever criticized Mo Salah on the pitch? I don’t classify it [legs gone comment as criticism]This is something that happens to every player, I never criticized him for not working, not passing anyone. He’s a legend, you have to put up with some things.
“Some of the criticism is excessive, but I will go after Salah when he tries to bring my club down. Let’s understand Arne Slot, he has conceded 10 goals in three games, Salah was embarrassing against PSV. West Ham away, we need to keep a clean sheet, you remove from your team the one player you have allowed not to defend.
“You play Sunderland at home, I would have played him, but it makes sense, he brings him on at half-time. West Ham is away and Leeds is away, why would you bring him on when you’re winning those games? You don’t need a goal. You’re bringing in a guy who can’t defend set pieces and doesn’t track back.”
