John Terry admits he regretted the way he treated Mohamed Salah when the Liverpool star was at Chelsea

John Terry has described Mohamed Salah’s Chelsea struggles as a personal regret after seeing the Egyptian become a huge success at Liverpool.

Salah has endured a difficult two years at Stamford Bridge, managing just two goals and four assists in 19 appearances in all competitions.
Salah was among the players who struggled with the Londoners but have since gone on to taste success away from West London, one of which includes Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne went in search of first-team opportunities – joining Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg – where he eventually earned a return to the Premier League.

Salah’s journey to the English top flight saw him spend time in Serie A with Fiorentina and AS Roma before joining Jurgen Klopp’s side, where he has since scored 194 more goals than he managed in London.

Terry, who was captain at Stamford Bridge during Salah’s time at Chelsea, admitted there was “no chance” during Salah’s time in the capital that they could have predicted the success the former London duo have had.
I liked it.

“It’s my only disappointment as a captain because I think I adapted over time.
When those guys were there, I was probably very strong and very disciplined in the group,” he said on the Obi One podcast.

That was most likely the first indication that they needed a sit down and an arm around their shoulder. Could I have perhaps assisted them in becoming comfortable? I regret being captain because I’m disappointed in myself, especially in light of the peaks that those two players [De Bruyne and Salah] have reached.

“I wouldn’t have said they would reach the level they are now (when they were at Chelsea), even if they had no chance.

If all the players arrived foreign or English and didn’t speak the language, they had a 20-word document with translated football terms like “man on”, “let it go”, “one-two”.

“, so that when they were on the training field they understood that they knew the terminology,” Terry continued.

“I think I did everything I could.
When those guys arrived, I did everything I could to help them settle in. Once they crossed the white line on the field, I was probably too harsh even for them.”

News on Liverpool’s squad as Luis Diaz makes a decision amid seven changes for the match against Nottingham Forest

Liverpool’s Team news for Premier League match at Anfield vs Nottingham Forest.

Seven changes have been made by Jurgen Klopp for Liverpool’s Premier League match against Nottingham Forest at Anfield (14.00 GMT).

Luis Diaz is not on the Reds’ roster, which is hardly surprising. Having been benched for the Europa League victory over Toulouse earlier this week, the winger is not engaged in the kidnapping of his parents, who were abducted in his native Colombia. While Diaz’s mother has been saved, it’s uncertain if his father has been located yet.

Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota retain their attacking positions, as Mo Salah returns to the starting lineup. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ryan Gravenberch are the other two players that continue in the starting lineup. Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas, Ibou Konate, Alexander-Arnold, and Alisson Becker are the members of the defence.

Dominik Szboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister partner Gravenberch in midfield. If Liverpool wins, they will catch up to Premier League leaders Tottenham by three points.
