Mohamed Salah was not impressed by an errant Kostas Tsimikas pass during Liverpool training on Friday.
As seen on Inside Training via Liverpool’s YouTube Channel, the Egyptian felt Tsimikas deliberately played him a poor ball during a rondo session.
“It’s not the ball to put me in [the middle of the circle] man, just pass normal ball!” shouted Mo, his frustration clear.
“You tried to put me in, man!” accused Tsimikas. “I didn’t!” insisted Salah.
This was no joke interaction, as you might expect when the ‘Scouse Greek’ is involved. No, Salah was genuinely annoyed here. You can see it on his face.
His appeals fell on deaf ears though, as he takes his place in the middle of the circle. As the rondo recommences with a slightly awkward silence, Tsimikas soon plays a simple ball for Mo to cut out. All well again with a smile from Salah.
Mo not messing around
This is actually really good to see from Salah. It just shows how seriously the 30-year-old still takes his training. There’s no time for messing around when Mo is around.
With Liverpool relying on him more than ever following another Luis Diaz injury setback, he looks focused and ready to deliver.
As the World Cup draws toward its conclusion, preparations will ramp up for Mo and the rest of the Liverpool team.
A game against Lyon tomorrow is just the tonic for Reds fans after watching five players exit the World Cup over the weekend.
Although there will be deep disappointment for the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker, it will be great to have them back, too.
It’s unclear just at the moment whether the wounded quintet will report for duty in Dubai. Wherever they eventually return though, they better not upset Mo!
