Arne Slot says it is ‘not important’ what he thinks about Salah’s comments | OneFootball

Arne Slot says that it is not important what he thinks about Mo Salah’s social media comments.

After Liverpool’s 4-2 loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League Salah made a statement on social media saying that he is disappointed with Liverpool’s performances this season.

“Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies.”

Slot was asked what he thought about Salah’s comments ahead of Liverpool’s match against Brentford on Sunday.

“I don’t think it is that important what I feel about it,” he answered.

“What is important is that we qualify for the Champions League on Sunday, and I prepare Mo and the rest of the team to be ready for the game in the best possible way. That is what matters.

“I was very disappointed after our loss against Aston Villa, because a win would have given us qualification for the Champions League – which we didn’t do. Now there is one game to go and it’s a vital one for us as a club.

“I don’t know if it had an impact on the group. What I have seen is the team have trained really well this week, and we hope to continue really well in the upcoming two days so we are really prepared.

“I think Mo and I have the same interest – we want the best for this club. We want the club to be as successful as possible. We were both part of giving the fans their first league title in five years – but we are also aware of this season.

“What we want, what he wants and what I want is for the club to be as successful as last season. That is where my main focus is at now because the game on Sunday could give us a really base heading into next season. That is where we should focus.”
