During a post-match TV interview, Clarence Seedorf publicly confronted Arne Slot over the Mohamed Salah situation, forcing the Liverpool boss to clarify his stance on who should initiate communication.
Liverpool’s Champions League win was followed by an unexpected debate between Arne Slot and Clarence Seedorf on Amazon Prime Video Sport.
Seedorf suggested Mohamed Salah’s comments reflected “a lack of communication” from the club, prompting Slot to clarify his position.
The manager replied, “That’s your opinion,” and questioned Seedorf: “Does the player know he’s made a mistake?”
Slot pushed back against the suggestion that he should initiate an apology, adding: “I haven’t said that I’m not going to talk to him… should the initiative come from me? That’s another question.”
Slot later clarified that he was only challenging Seedorf’s opinion, not rejecting talks.
He attempted to redirect attention toward the players who performed, noting their success despite the noise.
