The press officer’s priceless reaction when Salah claims Liverpool threw him under the bus

Following Liverpool’s dramatic 3-3 draw against Leeds United, which saw Salah left on the bench for the third time in a row, the Egyptian striker stopped in the mixed zone to deliver one of the most searing interviews in recent Premier League history.

While Salah’s words about being ‘thrown under the bus’ by the club have dominated the headlines, eagle-eyed fans on social media have spotted a moment of pure, unadulterated panic in the background.

The video, which has already been viewed millions of times on X, captures the exact moment Salah declares that “someone doesn’t want me in the club.”

Liverpool press officer’s brilliant response to Salah’s comments

As Salah calmly detonates a nuclear bomb about his relationship with manager Arne Slot, the camera spots a Liverpool press officer standing just over the winger’s shoulder. At first, the staff member appears to be listening intently, perhaps hoping for a standard “we’re going again” media briefing.

But as soon as Salah utters the now infamous line: “It’s like the club threw me under the bus,” the officer’s calm evaporates.

In a moment of recognizable corporate horror, he sighed instinctively, a response that said, ‘Oh, what have you done Mo’.

Seconds later, it’s frantically typing on his phone, presumably alerting the club’s hierarchy that their star player is currently dismantling the club’s PR strategy live on air.

What’s next for Mohamed Salah?

The panic in the eyes of the press officer is justified. Salah’s admission that his relationship with Arne Slot is currently non-existent and his claim that he has been made a scapegoat for the team’s poor title defense suggests there is no way back.

With Salah heading to the Africa Cup of Nations on December 15, he may have already played his last game for Liverpool.

The January transfer window is shaping up to be big. The Saudi Pro League, long-time admirers of the Egyptian king, will no doubt be watching this collapse with checkbooks at the ready.

For now, the image of that frantic press officer serves as the perfect symbol for Liverpool’s current state: chaotic, reactive and desperately trying to control a narrative that has gotten completely out of their hands.
