What if it was more than just a poor performance? Already on an unfavorable waiver since its defeat (2-0) in the derby against Everton on Tuesday (the club’s first since 2010!), Liverpool probably said goodbye to their slim and last title hopes this Saturday. Victory was essential to get back on the heels of Arsenal and Manchester City but it was a 2-2 draw that the scoreboard at the London Stadium showed at the final whistle.
With one point behind the Cityzens (two games less), and two points behind the Gunners (one game less) three days before the end of the championship, the Reds will not return. They lost everything in just a few days, including the Premier League, the Europa League and the FA Cup. We would almost forget the victory in the League Cup last February against Chelsea. A meager consolation prize for Jürgen Klopp’s last months at the head of the English club.
Salah: “If I speak, there will be fire”
The end of these 9 years is not easy. No doubt frustrated by the draw that was shaping up this Saturday, nerves that were too raw ended up giving way. The scene took place at the entrance to the field. Immediately after Antonio’s equalizer, Klopp sent Salah, Nunez and Gomez on fire. The origin of the fire is still unknown, but the fact remains that the tone suddenly rose between the German coach and his Egyptian striker. Darwin Nunez was even forced to calm down his teammate before coming into play.
The story could have ended there except that the tension did not subside after the final whistle. Crossing the mixed zone in front of journalists who wanted his reaction, the Egyptian traced his route by blurting: “If I speak, there will be fire.” “Will there be fire?” a member of the press responds. “Yes of course.” Klopp had just announced at a press conference that the incident was closed. “We have already spoken in the locker room. For me, it’s over. That’s my impression.” Not for everyone obviously.
