But Mo, it was an absolute honor to work with you; it was a pleasure as well, not every minute, but most of the time."That particular line prompted both Salah and Gerrard to burst into laughter, with the Egyptian and German manager notably having a few disagreements during their time working together at Liverpool.READ MORE: Andy Robertson advised to join Liverpool rival in controversial transfer moveREAD MORE: Liverpool told to target Premier League transfer for $41M ace who is like Ibrahima KonateDespite this, the two still share a close bond today, as demonstrated by the forward's response.Klopp added: "You remember when we came together, I said, 'Let's create a special story and let's make sure that when we see each other in 10 or 15 years that and look back, we cannot avoid a smile', and I have that smile when I think of our time together."I'm just super happy and thankful that I was part of the whole journey for a while, and all the best for what is coming up, there's still a great few years to come, so have a great time together and enjoy, see you, bye."Jurgen Klopp sent a video message to Liverpool star Mohamed Salah(Image: TNT Sports)The instant the footage finished, Salah released an audible laugh before expressing his thoughts about the German coach. When asked how he got the best out of players,Salah replied: "Managing the players is very hard, through the years and with more experience, he realized that it doesn't get easier.
He could manage a dressing room, though, with a team full of stars, and he could keep everybody on their feet and working."He may have been lucky as well that we all wanted to work, he didn't have to force anyone to work because we really wanted to succeed and achieve big things."While Klopp undoubtedly drew outstanding performances from Salah, the two strong personalities did occasionally butt heads, which is likely what the former Liverpool boss was hinting at in his message. One particularly memorable flashpoint came during an away fixture at West Ham, when Salah refused to shake Klopp's hand as he prepared to come on as a substitute.Salah now looks set to follow Klopp out of Anfield as a genuine club legend, though his farewell season was nearly derailed in frustrating fashion by injury.Last weekend, the Egyptian winger went down clutching the back of his leg, prompting widespread fears that his campaign was over with only a handful of matches remaining.However, the club has since issued an official statement, backed by manager Arne Slot, confirming that Salah is expected to pull on the Liverpool shirt once more before the season concludes.When pressed on Friday, Slot said: "He is always working incredibly hard when he is injured to get back as soon as possible.
Usually, he is back earlier than other players. He has a minor injury, and we expect and need him back for the final part of the season."
