Gary Neville Weighs In on SalahLiverpool Rift, Citing Ronaldo Precedent

He contends that players of Salah’s stature receive leeway that lesser teammates would not.

Overview

  • Neville compared Mohamed Salah’s public criticism of Liverpool to Cristiano Ronaldo’s high-profile interview during his Manchester United exit.
  • He said the timing and delivery of Salah’s comments were wrong and suggested supporters had reason to be upset.
  • Salah had been an unused substitute in the 3-3 draw at Leeds after a run of benchings.
  • Liverpool left him out of the travelling squad to face Inter Milan before recalling him for the Brighton match following private talks with Arne Slot.
  • Neville argued that a player without Salah’s talent and profile would likely be removed from the squad quickly for similar conduct.
