"No One is Perfect": Steven Gerrard Rallies Behind Mo Salah

Summary

Steven Gerrard believes that Mohamed Salah was right in questioning why he is not getting to play, but the situation with the manager could have been handled better.
The Englishman wants Salah to be back at his best as Liverpool needs him the most in this tough phase.

Steven Gerrard has been one of the most influential players of the Liverpool football club and one of their longest-serving captains. He was a true leader & always gave it all for his club. However, he too had his bad moments at the club, but kept his head down and worked for the betterment of his boyhood club.

The Mohamed Salah situation has garnered a lot of attention now from ex-Liverpool players, fans, and pundits, taking a stance. Now, Steven Gerrard has voiced his opinion regarding the matter as well. The Liverpool legend has taken a stand for the Egyptian, which is in contrast to what others are saying, as they believe Mohamed Salah is to blame for his comments on Arne Slot during the interview. Let's understand in detail what was said in the Steven Gerrard interview.

Steven Gerrard Supports Salah, But Condemned How He Targeted Slot

The interview reveals that Steven Gerrard supports Salah, as he feels it's very important for Liverpool to get Mo Salah back at his best. The Egyptian has undoubtedly been one of the greatest ever Liverpool players, as the Englishman acknowledged himself, but criticised his way of lashing out at his manager at such a time when everything is going wrong for Liverpool.

He's obviously very upset about not playing, and I respect that. He wants to help the team, and I respect that, too. But some of the things said about throwing people under the bus are just not true. He needs to sort that out with the manager. Liverpool needs Mo Salah back at his best, making his mark, because he's their top player, their best scorer, and he'll help them get through this.

Steven Gerrard has made it clear that he is on the side of Mohamed Salah, as the Egyptian remains an important asset for the Merseyside club. Gerrard even reminded the panel of his time when Luis Suarez had an alleged spat with then Reds manager Brendan Rodgers. It was Steven Gerrard who stepped in to mitigate the situation. Interestingly, he himself did the same thing when he was sent off in just 30 seconds of coming on to the pitch against Manchester United.

Gerrard explained that every player has lost their head at some point in their career where they have done or said something purely on an emotional basis, as no one is perfect. Salah, too, is a human at the end of the day, & suggested that he should reflect on what he did. He even suggested that the club captain Virgil Van Dijk should intervene to cool things down.
