Mohamed Salah‘s scathing criticism of Arne Slot and his treatment at Liverpool on Saturday night may have surprised many – but seemingly not his teammates. How Liverpool players responded to Salah’s interview But according to The Athletic, there was less surprise among the Liverpool squad when it came to Salah’s bombshell interview.

Virgil van Dijk’s leaked mixed zone reaction Speaking prior to Salah’s outburst at Elland Road, captain Virgil van Dijk gave his backing to one of his long-time teammates. And in a short clip shared on X at the weekend, Van Dijk is claimed to have given his response to Salah’s comments against Slot and Liverpool.

In a leaked video, the centre-back can be heard saying: “Yeah, let him say something.” That would suggest Van Dijk acknowledges Salah’s right to speak out over his current situation, though whether he supports his views is another matter. However it could be argued that the fracture around the club’s third-highest goalscorer of all time will at least temporarily strengthen FSG’s resolve when it comes to Slot.
