The silence has been broken by Mohammed Salah after a series of confrontations between the Egyptian and his German coach last month.
Even that confrontation could never damage a seven-year relationship between two of the most adored personalities in football, their working relationship has been solid, and only the novice would sense a glitch in their sporting activities, salah was quick to confirm that the argument on the touchline in their 2 all draw with Westham left no stain on their working ethics even hailing the soon to depart German.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Egyptian said [via The Mirror]: “I think at first in the first call we had, the thing that stuck in my mind was him explaining to me he wanted me to come here. And he basically explained to me that he was building a new team at the club and Sadio [Mane] and Bobby [Firmino] were there and he wanted me to play in the side.
“My football, he said: ‘I am going to improve your football and give you the freedom to do what you want.’ And then I was like OK, I am going to come. I came and then the rest, you can see.
“We are here for seven or eight years together so there are too many moments [to choose] but I think winning the Premier League in that game, when Chelsea beat Man City and also winning the Champions League is a thing that sticks in my mind because there are too many emotions involved.”
Salah on Klopp as a person. “I always look at this situation as a human being. He improved me as a player for sure and I helped him a lot as a manager for sure, we helped each other a lot and we gave everything to the club to win trophies, everyone can see that.
“But the thing I take from that as a human being, as a person, if I am in trouble I can speak to him and ask as a person. I think we will keep the communication for sure forever, for life. Because it is not just a relationship with work, we also take it outside and we are going to stay in contact forever.”
