John Obi Mikel has revealed that Jose Mourinho once brought the current Liverpool favorite “to tears” during a match.Mo Salah can be considered one of the best players in the world right now. He has taken his game to the next level since joining the Reds in 2017, but his time at Chelsea did not go as planned.
Former Stamford Bridge favorite Mikel told how the Portuguese ‘destroyed’ our number 11 in the dressing room at half-time.”They were so unlucky that Mourinho didn’t get caught,” the former Nigeria international said on his Obi One podcast (via balls.ie). “It doesn’t matter who you are if you don’t work. He will take you.“He had a try on Mohamed Salah at half-time and he was in tears. We thought, ‘Okay, let’s get him back on the field.’ But he broke the boy and took him. But that was just his way of thinking at the time. But will Mourinho do it now? I don’t think so.
Throughout his career, which has seen him coach some of Europe’s biggest clubs, the 60-year-old has made headlines for a number of reasons.Salah joined Chelsea from Basel in Switzerland in 2014, but the forward scored two goals in 19 appearances for the club before being loaned out to Fiorentina and then Roma.
Mourinho, currently in charge of Roma, is clearly unimpressed by the King of Egypt, but I haven’t had a bad word to say about the 31-year-old since his move to Merseyside.He has won every possible trophy at Anfield and he is expected to break more records this season and beyond.
