Lovren concluded by highlighting what he perceives as a failure from the club’s leadership to shield their star man from the external noise. He echoed Salah’s own sentiments regarding a lack of protection, suggesting that the Egyptian was left to face the music alone while other members of the squad avoided accountability for a difficult season.
“There are other players who should also take responsibility and say, ‘yes, this is my fault’, but you know, some players never came forward,” Lovren added. “There was mismanagement; internally, they didn’t handle it well. They didn’t handle it well. Even if you have some problems, you have to talk about it in the dressing room, and like I said, Mo never felt that support. He was always the front-page headline, ‘Ah, it’s Mohamed Salah, don’t be surprised.’ I mean… it’s a deep-seated issue.”
