There was an incident at Liverpool’s open training ground on the eve of their Champions League quarter-final second leg clash with Paris. In the video, the two key players of the team, Salah and Arnold, appeared to have a confrontation, but then quickly reconciled.
In between training sessions, Salah suddenly stepped forward and nudged Arnold in the chest with his hand. Arnold, on the other hand, seemed a little discontented and chattered away. But this small gesture did not lead to a bigger conflict. Behind Konate quickly pulled Salah, and Elliott and Curtis – Jones also came over to “fight.” The whole time, Salah smiled and Arnold looked serious.
Despite this episode, the pair soon returned to training. Captain van Dijk and coach Slott walked past the pair without paying much attention, which may indicate that it was just a small joke during training, resulting in a brief upset between each other, but did not escalate into a serious altercation and conflict.
Salah has been Liverpool’s leading star this season, with 32 goals and 22 assists in 41 games, leading the Premier League in goals and assists. Arnold, as Liverpool’s vice-captain, contributed three goals and seven assists in 38 appearances and was also an indispensable part of the team. It is worth noting that both Salah and Arnold are out of contract with Liverpool this summer, prompting speculation about their future. News of the pair’s possible departure will undoubtedly put Liverpool’s fans and management under considerable pressure. However, judging from this episode, the relationship between the two men has not been too affected and they will continue to fight for Liverpool’s glory.
