In the 82nd minute of the match at West Ham’s field, when Salah was standing on the sidelines, preparing to come on as a substitute when the score was 2-2, coach Klopp approached and said something to the Egyptian star.

Fans witnessed Salah speak and point at the German coach. He intended to move closer, but was interrupted by striker Darwin Nunez standing nearby. Only then did Salah calm down and turn away, while Klopp clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the field.
The camera lens captured the moment Salah waved his hand and pointed at something after listening to coach Jurgen Klopp’s instructions. It’s unclear what Salah and Klopp were arguing about. However, the Egyptian star seemed highly agitated and could not control his anger.
In the 2-2 draw with West Ham, Salah had to sit on the bench after a recent series of poor performances. That could be the source of the Egyptian star’s composure, and the argument between Klopp and Salah is a sad image of the end of the German coach era at Liverpool.
Speaking after the match Salah said: “If I spoke, things would be very messy.” Coach Klopp also told reporters that he was not in the mood to talk about this and said that the disagreement had been resolved.
