BBC Sports reporter reveals the reason for the change of Mohamed Salah against Chelsea
Matt Critchley, a correspondent for "ben Sports" channels, revealed the reason for Juergen Klopp's replacement of Egyptian player Mohamed Salah in the Liverpool and Chelsea match in the English Premier League.
Klopp decided to make a double substitution with the departure of Mohamed Salah and Jones, and Jota and Chamberlain participated in their place in the 61st minute, in the match that witnessed the defeat of Liverpool (1-0).
On his Twitter account, Critchley said, "Salah is unhappy with his replacement. He shook his head as he walked toward the bench."
He added: "5 minutes before the substitution, Klopp was shouting at him to come back and help in the defense, and he was too far from half of the field."
"Almost immediately Klopp turned around and discussed his replacement (with the coaching staff)," Critchley said.
It is noteworthy that Chelsea beat Liverpool 1-0 by Mason Mount, at Anfield.
The moment of replacing Mohamed Salah in the match between Liverpool and Chelsea
Salah not happy at being taken off. Shaking his head as walked to bench. But 5 mins ago Klopp was screaming at him to track back & help out defensively, he was a long way off. Bit of a half hearted jog. Klopp turned to Ljinders almost straight away & they discussed replacing him
