The Sun, a British media outlet, reported on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) that “Coach Klopp and Salah clashed against West Ham. Klopp considers interaction very important when a player enters as a substitute. However, I felt that it did not happen with Salah and there was a dispute.”

Liverpool played the 35th round of the Premier League against West Ham in the 2023-24 season at the London Stadium on Tuesday. Klopp excluded Salah as the starting striker. The game did not go as Liverpool thought, and he tried to boost the team’s decisiveness by sending in Salah at the 34th minute of the second half when the score was 2-2.

They had a high-pitched argument. According to British public broadcaster BBC, when local reporters asked Salah what had happened, he said, “If I open my mouth, it will go crazy.”

There was also a question for Klopp. When asked about his altercation with Salah, Klopp said, “I can’t reveal it,” adding, “The problem in the locker room is over. I talked to Salah about the problem and that’s it.”

“The Sun” was a hot topic during the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup when it reported Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in. According to our sources, Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min had an argument ahead of the match against Jordan, and Son Heung-min suffered a dislocated finger, the media reported.

“The Sun” is Britain’s representative yellow-colored media, but it turned out to be true. The rivalry between the two players, which had been brewing for some time, expanded and grew, and Lee Kang-in’s apology and exchanged offensive points in an away match in Thailand ended perfectly.

Returning to Klopp and Salah, The Sun said: “Salah seemed annoyed with the selection. Klopp did not like the move. After the game, Salah shook hands with West Ham manager David Moyes, but ignored Klopp’s.”
