Mo Salah told Arne Slot he's 'CRAZY' in heated conflict

Liverpool star Mo Salah labelled Arne Slot 'crazy', according to a new claim. The Egyptian struggled to get to drips with new demands.

De Telegraaf journalist Marcel van der Kraan claims Mo Salah didn't initially adapt to life under Arne Slot particularly smoothly. This was the first time that Salah needed to do any adapting since 2017, of course - and he wasn't sure about Slot's methods.

Van der Kraan claims Slot wanted too much intensity from Salah off the ball. Or at least, that's how the Reds' no.11 saw it.

“Salah was cursing in the summer about all that Slot wanted from him,” said Van der Kraan, per Voetbal Zone.

“‘You’re crazy,’ Salah said at one point. That was about the intensity Slot demands, what all the strikers have to do in terms of work. I heard this from guys who were at that training camp.”

Mo Salah was unsure about Arne Slot

The difficulty for any new manager is getting the star players to listen. That's particularly difficult when moving to Liverpool and taking over a successful team.

Why, after all, should Salah and co. listen to you? Slot needed to win the stars around and it appears he initially had a difficult time doing that.

But he has done it. Salah looks at home in Slot's system and while it's entirely possible that the Dutchman eventually wants more from his stars, things are going swimmingly.

In fact, Salah is thriving in the Premier League this season. He's got six goals and five assists after nine fixtures - a player capable of delivering everything going forward.

And that includes the pressing and off-ball work.

So while there may have been a rocky start, everything now feels incredibly positive. Long may it continue, too, because Slot and Salah could produce some magic this season.
