"I did not hear him say that the standards are not OK now. Did you? If he goes all of a sudden [they will drop] OK, as I just said I'm not worried about it. At all. I'm not worried that the standards will be lower next season than they were this season, last season or the season before. No. I'm not worried. At all."
"The standards are not only important in the gym. This sounds like Slot surely suggesting Salah's own standards on the pitch have not been good enough this season, even if his fitness levels remain good."
"It's been a difficult season for the Reds, who have dropped down to fourth place and who are set to finish without any silverware despite spending huge sums of money in the transfer window last year. The dip in form of a star name like Salah has been part of the problem, and it seems there's also no love lost between Slot and the Egypt international."
"The pair clearly had their differences earlier this season, leading to Salah being dropped and then publicly slamming his manager before the issues eventually seemed to be resolved as the player returned to the team."
Liverpool’s season has been difficult, with the team dropping to fourth place and likely finishing without silverware despite major spending. Mohamed Salah’s comments about standards slipping at Anfield after he leaves this summer angered Arne Slot. Slot reacted sharply, saying he did not hear Salah claim standards are not OK now and insisting he is not worried about standards being lower next season than in recent seasons. Slot also said standards matter beyond the gym, implying Salah’s on-pitch standards have not been sufficient this season. Earlier in the season, Slot and Salah had disagreements that led to Salah being dropped and later returning after issues were resolved.
