Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah revealed that the lead coach Arni Slut thwarted his faded team in the first half against Southampton, where the Premier League leaders arrived from behind after the winning break in the match 3-1.
Will Smallbone opened the registration for visitors in anfield when he benefited from a defensive mix between Alisson Becker and Virgil Van Dijk. Darwin Nunez then drew six minutes after the second half before a pillar of Salah’s penalties for ensuring the three points of Liverpool.
However, Salah-who now moved to the third place in the club’s list of goals at all-admitted that the opening was not happy during his team’s talk at the end of the first half.
“It was some frustration,” Salah told Al -Mumtaz newspaper after the match. “His head was going to us. We were slow and slow in the first half. I don’t think we played well today. If you want to win the Champions League or the Premier League, you should win these games like that.”
Slot, who watched the Saturday match of the stands as he continued to ban the prohibiting touch line, was also frank about his opinion on his team’s offer in the first half at his press conference after the match.
“I did not give them compliments at the end of the first half, I can tell you.” “Maybe I can tell you that because I was sitting there instead of the line. When you see a game from there, you always feel that, I can even play in this game, but when you are on the line, there is more rhythm.
“I don’t think I was wrong if I said at the end of the first half that the energy levels were very far, and very far away. It should have changed and that’s why we put three alternatives, regardless of energy to bring quality.
“Nine of 10 times, when you take three times, the other eight like, something else should happen. This was the only thing that I can reach at the end of the first half to create something different for the second half.”
Liverpool is now 16 clear points at the top of the Premier League table, as it played more than Arsenal to second place, which Manchester United runs on Sunday afternoon.
