SportFootballArne SlotMohamed Salah posted a scathing message on Instagram last weekend, which was liked by some of his Liverpool team-mates, as Arne Slot address is questioned on their actionsArne Slot claimed he didn't read anything into his Liverpool players liking a Mohamed Salah social media post criticising the state of the team - instead seeing their effort levels in recent weeks as proof of their commitment.The Reds were left to lick their wounds after a 12th defeat of the Premier League season last time out at Aston Villa. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies."That post was liked by a number of players, which was seen by some as a swipe at the manager and his principles as Salah demanded a return to the "heavy metal football" pioneered by Jurgen Klopp - but Slot didn't see it has him being undermined.READ MORE: Liverpool make decision on Arne Slot's future as new coach set to be appointedREAD MORE: Liverpool leading Yan Diomande transfer race as RB Leipzig name eye-watering price tagHe said: "I don't really know what it exactly means if you 'like' a post, yes or no.
What I know, and that is my world, is to see how they train and I have not seen anything different compared to the rest of the season."Asked how he will remember Salah, Slot added: "100 percent last season, he said the most special thing I have won was last season’s Premier League title. Now I can safely say that was the most special thing I have won in my life so I will remember that and how important he was in that season for the club and as a result also for me with all the goals he scored."Salah was integral to Slot securing the title in his debut season, but this year the pair have had their differences.
A massive dip in performance levels eventually led to the Liverpool manager benching the Egyptian star, who responded angrily back in December.He said: "I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager, and all of a sudden we don't have any relationship. I don't know why but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn't want me in the club."It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus.
