Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers expressed displeasure with the attitude of his defender Mamadou Sakho, who exchanged jerseys with Samuel Eto’o at halftime during a match against Chelsea. At the break, Chelsea led 2-1, with Eto’o having just scored the second goal for his team. Rodgers, disappointed by Sakho’s gesture, stated, “I did not know. I do not like it. I’ll have a word with him.” The Liverpool manager also noted a similar exchange between his Brazilian striker Coutinho and Chelsea’s David Luiz at halftime.
Adding to Liverpool’s woes, Sakho was substituted at the end of the match due to an injury. Rodgers commented on the situation, saying, “We’ll know the severity of his injury tomorrow (today), but it’s not good.” The manager’s discontent reflects his concern about the team’s performance and the players’ focus during a crucial match.
