“‘Pay Attention’: Mohamed Salah Takes a Subtle Swipe at Haaland and Man City After Leicester Win”
“‘Always Remember That’: Salah’s Sharp Jab at Haaland and Man City Following Leicester Victory”
Mohamed Salah was in the spotlight after Liverpool’s dominant 3-1 win over Leicester, when he was asked about the team’s chances of clinching the Premier League title this season.
“This year feels different. I want to win the Premier League; we really want to win it. Let’s do it! But remember, the most important thing is to keep working and stay humble.”
While Salah’s comments seemed standard at first, it was his final line that turned heads. The Egyptian forward’s mention of staying humble seemed eerily similar to a phrase Erling Haaland had directed towards Mikel Arteta after Manchester City’s dramatic equalizer against Arsenal.
Fans quickly made the connection, speculating that Salah’s remark was a thinly-veiled jab at the Norwegian striker.
“I can see a message to Haaland there.”
“He just cooked Haaland.”
“Did you hear Salah? ‘Stay humble’—and not to another coach!”
