Is there an underlying message? Steven Gerrard speaks about Mohamed Salah after the latter dropped a bombshell expressing a desire for Liverpool to attack fiercely like before.
On 18 May 2026, Steven Gerrard, the legendary midfielder of the Premier League's Liverpool, spoke about Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah, his junior teammate at the club, following Salah's bombshell comment calling for the team to adopt a more aggressive attacking style. This directly unsettled Arne Slot, the Dutch manager of the team.
Steven Gerrard said, “For me, I think he is signaling to the outside world what the atmosphere in Liverpool's dressing room is like. It seems the dressing room is currently unsettled, and the team's identity has been lost. It pains him greatly to witness this with his own eyes.”
“To be honest, I am surprised by the timing, as there is only one match left, which will be his last for Liverpool. But that is a harsh criticism and it has a significantly negative impact on the manager and the coaching staff.”
