Liverpool's Star Extends Statement to Squad, Reveals Curtis Jones
Jones has revealed that Mohamed Salah said sorry to the entire Liverpool squad after the fallout from his public comments.
The Fallout
The striker was dropped from a vital match subsequent to criticising the club and claiming his connection to the head coach had broken down.
“He speaks for himself and he can say his own stuff,” the midfielder said. “His apology was clear and was like: ‘If my words hurt anyone, please accept my apology.’”
Arne Slot has previously declined to comment publicly on whether he was apologised to from the player.
Looking Ahead
Jones insisted that the squad's reaction stayed normal. “He was his usual self, he was smiling and it was business as usual,” the midfielder explained.
Jones also suggested that a player's desire to start is a positive trait. “I understand there are specific approaches you can handle situations,” he said. “However, if a player is content to just sit out, then I think that’s concerning.”
On-Field Response
Liverpool's form have stayed unbeaten in the period after the interview fallout. The player is convinced the outburst were not designed to harm the team.
“If passion has boiled over, it’s always been from a place of caring,” Jones concluded. “It's behind us and we’re gelling well as a team, playing well and securing victories.”
