Salah’s stinging words
With cameras rolling and microphones in his face, Salah targeted directly at Palmer and delivered a verbal punch that made headlines:
> “A coward!” You fabricated an injury out of fear of losing to Liverpool. On the pitch, you just hide behind your failure in the Ballon d’Or race and your defeats against us.”
The charges were nasty and personal. In one breath, Salah insulted Palmer’s bravery, mocked his ambition, and reminded the world of Chelsea’s failures under Liverpool’s pressure.
