The truth of former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) has been revealed.

British media Daily Star said on the 2nd (Korean time) 'Klopp did not want Salah in Liverpool. The two have been together for seven years in Liverpool to win the championship. However, the relationship between the two was known to have been cold, according to the report.

Coach Klopp led Liverpool from the 2015-2016 season to the 2023-2024 season. He led Liverpool to the top of the European Champions League (UCL) and the English Premier League (EPL). The key player in the victory was Salah. Salah joined Liverpool ahead of the 2017-2018 season. He made 273 appearances in the EPL for Liverpool, scoring 163 goals-74 assists. He also became the league's top scorer with 32 goals in the 2017-2018 season, 22 goals in the 2018-2019 season, and 23 goals in the 2021-2022 season.

The Daily Star was in a cold relationship that began because coach Klopp didn't want Salah. The pair won all the praise while they were sharing a meal in Liverpool. However, it is known that the first player Klopp chose was Julian Brandt (Dortmund). However, at the time, a club official insisted on recruiting Salah. Despite Klopp's successful collaboration with Salah, their relationship was strictly limited to the professional field. The media quoted another media outlet, the Daily Mail, as saying that `the two were professional and mutually respectful.'

The Daily Star said 'Klopp is famous for his charismatic charm and ability to manage players. But Salah didn't want that treatment. It seems to have relied on his advice on the history of transformation. Salah reportedly thinks former AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has had a bigger impact on his career than Klopp. However, it is worth noting that Salah had no ill will or hostility towards Klopp. Of course, there was a time when the relationship between the two was heightened by tension. Salah also maintained a tense relationship with Sadio Mane. Manager Klopp preferred Mane and Liverpool preferred Salah. There were actually differences of opinion, he explained.
