'He likes confrontation' – Mo Salah's comments about Arne Slot speak volumes Mohamed Salah appreciates the confrontational nature of Liverpool boss Arne Slot – who he commends for ‘having no ego’.
The 46-year-old has managed to get a tune out of Salah specifically – regardless of the contract saga he finds himself embroiled in – as he currently leads the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 18 goals in just 19 matches, as well as a staggering 13 assists to boot.
Liverpool’s star forward has now commended the recently-arrived Slot, appreciating his straight-talking nature and lack of an ego when dealing with his players – as well as admitting his surprise at how immediately successful the new boss has been since replacing the charismatic Jurgen Klopp.
They hold a six-point lead atop the Premier League table while still having a game in hand, and they have won each of their first six Champions League games.
He likes confrontation, which is good, which is good.
