The relationship between Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané at Liverpool was far from cordial. Roberto Firmino says.
The ego, we know, can cause a locker room to break down. Liverpool was no exception to the rule. It is Roberto Firmino who mentions it in a book released Thursday November 9, 2023 and entitled Si Senor: My Liverpool Years.
The Brazilian center forward, who wore the colors of the legendary English club for eight seasons (2015-2023), confirmed the sometimes frosty relationship between Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah with whom he formed a formidable attacking trio in Europe, winner in particular of the 2019 Champions League.
“Bobby” remembers that coach Jürgen Klopp had to call a meeting to calm things down between the Senegalese and the Egyptian. Mané often criticized Salah for not serving him.
“ But it was always resolved afterwardsslips Roberto Firmino. The next game, one passed the ball to the other, or to me, who would then pass it to the other, and we would celebrate another goal for our team. »
“ I don’t know if he was aware of it or not, but Salah frustrated everyone when he didn’t pass the ball. I knew how to handle this situation better than anyone”we can still read in the work of Roberto Firmino, 32 years old, now a player for Al-Ahli SFC (Saudi Arabia).
Firmino indicates, however, that Salah then improved a lot at this level.
