He also seemed to take a shot at manager Arne Slot, calling for a return to the “heavy metal attacking football” of the Jurgen Klopp era.“I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions,” Salah posted online. “It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.“Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.Read – Arne Slot admits Liverpool ‘crumbled’ against Aston VillaI have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions.
