"He has the brains of a beetle" - Marco van Basten joins the wave of criticism against Salah

According to Van Basten, the Egyptian has crossed a line that should never be crossed.

Details: In an interview with Sport Witness, 61-year-old legendary former Netherlands, Ajax and AC Milan striker Marco van Basten criticized Liverpool's Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Salah for his comments and behavior towards the team:

"Salah has the brains of a beetle. Listen, he used to play very well, but in recent months, his performances have simply been poor," Van Basten declared.

Another expert also joined Van Basten—44-year-old former Ajax player Theo Janssen, who said:

"He gives it his all, but it's all very simple. What has he shown this season?

He extended his contract, and the club have been paying him a huge salary. It's just been a bad season for him, and then the manager has to make a decision. I think Slot waited too long before substituting him because of his fantastic reputation. This interview is terrible. 'I'm more important than the club, everything revolves around me, and the club doesn't want me.'" Janssen said.

As we can see, the fallout from Salah's controversial interview continues to escalate, and the situation for the Egyptian star is anything but simple.

Earlier, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot admitted he isn't sure if Salah will ever play for Liverpool again, but believes there is still a chance to resolve the situation.
