Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to explain his decision to substitute star forward, Mohamed Salah in a match against Chelsea in the opener. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he can understand Salah’s frustrations at being subbed off because he almost scored a goal that could have set a new record in the EPL.
Klopp added that he just felt the team needed more stability and fresh legs at that stage in the game.
His words, “I can understand because if Mo scored it would have been a new record for goals scored in the opening game but I didn’t think about that. We needed stability and we needed fresh legs. It was super intense for everybody. That’s all I can say about it, his reaction was absolutely okay.”
“When I sub a player and he is jumping into my arms at 1-1 and he is a striker who thinks he will score, I would be really surprised so that’s absolutely fine.”
