Supporters can be your biggest critics

Supporters often hail Salah as a symbol of success, Arab pride, and national identity, hence why some are critical when he does not seem attached to such labels.

Activist Eva Habib supported the couple stating that Klopp is like a father figure to Maggie and there was no ill intent as it happened in public. Likewise, Mohammed Abu Mamdouh Abu Hassan remarked that since Klopp played a significant role in Salah’s rise, he’s akin to a father figure, making such gestures acceptable. Similarly, Madhat Qushqush pointed out the age gap between Klopp and Salah’s wife, likening it to the relationship between Salah and his own father.
