Mohamed Salah could not contain his laughter after being shown a video message from former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, in which the German joked that working with the Egyptian was 'not every minute' a pleasure. The clip was played during Salah's interview with Steven Gerrard on TNT Sport.
Klopp said: 'Two of my legends are sitting together, Stevie, you know how much I love you. But Mo, it was an absolute honour to work with you, it was a pleasure as well, not every minute but most of the time.' The remark prompted both Salah and Gerrard to laugh, referencing the occasional clashes between the forward and his former boss.
Klopp continued: 'You remember when we came together, I said "let's create a special story and let's make sure that when we see each other in 10 or 15 years and look back, we cannot avoid a smile", and I have that smile when I think of our time together.' Salah later described Klopp's ability to manage a star-studded dressing room, saying: 'He could keep everybody on their feet and working.'
Salah is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, following Klopp's exit last year. The 33-year-old recently suffered a minor injury but is expected to return before the final match against Brentford, though he will miss Sunday's trip to Manchester United.
