Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah has come out to speak on his relationship with teammate, Sadio Mane. He recently revealed that he and Mane are teammates on the pitch and in the locker room.
According to him, they both have a professional relationship even if he sometimes acts selfishly during matches.
Salah added that the main thing now is for all Liverpool players to always put the interest of the team above everything else.
His words, “My relationship with Sadio [Mane]? We are teammates on the pitch and in the locker room, and it’s a professional relationship.”
“He and I give everything we have for the team to win. We may have a competition for who is better, but this is normal in any team and a legitimate right for any player, but in the end we serve the team.”
“Sometimes I act selfishly on the field, but no one puts his interest above the interest of the team, and it is not intentional.”
“In a match, Sadio left the field angry, this was the first time people talked about the bad relationship between us, and they associated every time I did not pass to him or he did not pass to me with this situation.”
“But Sadio give me many assists and so do I. I am not jealous if someone else scored goals.”
On his awards, “I feel it is up to people’s opinions. In my mind, I am the best player in the world.”
“I can’t say I don’t want to win the Ballon d’Or or Fifa The Best, of course, I want to get any of them and I know I’ll win any of them at some point, but if I don’t win them no problem I’m not worried, but I feel the criteria for these awards are unfair.”
“Money and fame have made me more honest with myself, that I don’t want to prove anything to myself.”
On Klopp, “My relationship with Klopp is very good, he always tries to bring out the best in me and I always try to give everything I have for him and the club.”
“Our relationship is good and professional. Do we disagree? Certainly, because we think differently, but in the end, we agree on most things. You can’t say we agree 100% or disagree 100%.”
“I always want to play. But he is the coach and he wants to rest his players because of the many matches, but we always reach a compromise. We have been together for five years and I can always ask him why I don’t play or why he rested me.”
“Klopp is tough when necessary or when he feels the team is too confident to win, but he treats the players well.”
