Making a New Decision, Mo Salah continues to be disadvantaged by Jurgen Klopp

DBasia.news – After the problem of the captain’s position, Mohamed Salah was again disadvantaged by Jurgen Klopp. The Liverpool manager decided that the Egyptian player was not the Reds’ main penalty taker.

Klopp admitted that responsibility was still borne by James Milner. While Salah has the status as a backup.

Klopp’s statement is very surprising considering that Salah has often been the executor of Liverpool’s penalties since joining in the summer of 2017. He used this opportunity to the maximum by scoring 15 goals from 16 occasions.

“James Milner is the executor of the first penalty, but when James does not play it belongs to Mo (Salah). When Millie is on the field he can decide,” said Klopp.

“Sometimes you don’t feel 1,000% or you think, ‘He’s scored two goals’ and things like that. That doesn’t change, we didn’t talk about it for a while.”

“Often, maybe Millie is not on the pitch but I think I remember at least once when Millie was on the field and gave it to Mo.” he added.

Milner will indeed be playing again soon after being sidelined through injury. The match against West Brom could be a comeback moment for the 34-year-old player after being out for about a month.

His record in executing penalties is also quite good. He has scored 19 goals from the spot and only failed twice.

It will be interesting to see who will be the executor if Liverpool are awarded a penalty when Milner and Salah are on the field. Moreover, Salah already felt treated unfairly when he was not appointed as captain in the match against Midtjylland in the Champions League.

These kinds of things can disrupt the harmony within the team and have a bad impact. Then it takes the maturity of the players to deal with this situation.
