Finally, a former Liverpool star who was kicked out of the first team by Jurgen Klopp has shared his thoughts on the mysterious circumstances surrounding his departure.
During his legendary tenure as manager of Liverpool, Klopp oversaw the careers of a number of famous athletes.
When the German manager announced that he would be leaving Anfield, one of his former players broke down in tears. He was like a father figure to them.
However, there were a few individuals who did not necessarily agree with Klopp. One of these individuals was Mamadou Sakho, who had a disagreement with Klopp while he was working at the club.
At the beginning of the summer of 2013, Sakho made the move from Paris Saint-Germain to Liverpool, which was two years prior to Klopp’s appointment.
During the time that Klopp was in charge of Liverpool, the Frenchman was a member of the club’s roster, but his time there ultimately came to an end.
An infamous altercation with Jurgen Klopp resulted in the player being sent home from Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the United States. Additionally, the defender was loaned out to Crystal Palace as a result of the incident.
In the course of his recovery from an injury, it was discovered that he had been tardy to the club’s fight, as well as to a meal with the team and a treatment session.
Following this, Klopp demoted Sakho to the under-23s squad and removed him from the first-team squad. Sakho was also demoted to the training squad.
To this day, his departure from Liverpool has been shrouded in mystery.
During a recent interview with the ECHO, he discussed his departure from Liverpool and admitted that he believes that’small things’ were used as ‘excuses’ against him.
On the other hand, he does not harbour any ill will towards Klopp despite his departure.
In his explanation, he stated, “It is always a good idea to take small things as an excuse.” The truth, however, was not like this. However, it is not a problem, do you know that?
Is it really the case that a player is dismissed from the club simply because he arrives late to eat, when the time is 7.15 and he arrives at 7.18? Why don’t you try?
I was telling the truth when I wrote what I did on Snapchat. When it comes to truth, however, the stairs are always taken, while the lift is taken by the lie.
Sakho, who is 35 years old and currently plays for Torpedo Kutaisi, a club in Georgia, continued by saying, “You have football that people see, and you have few things inside, but they cannot talk about it.” As a result, I continue to keep it for myself as a man, and that is all.
I never speak, and if I were to speak right now, I would not do so because the topic at hand is not significant. My time spent in Liverpool is very enjoyable to me.
“Yeah, it was actually a really wonderful moment for me in my professional life. Exactly, that is it. As you may recall, I am a man of optimism. Because of this, I try to avoid talking about the inner workings of football, you know?
Naturally, I will talk about it at some point in the future. There will come a time when I will, without a doubt. But presently, this is not the appropriate time to do so.
When I get around to making my documentary about my life and my career, I will reveal every single truth in that very instant, just for the sake of having fun.
