Dejan Lovren still thinks that, in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final, Sergio Ramos tried to hurt Mohamed Salah. Although the Madrid captain has explained several times that he never intended to harm the Egyptian attacker, the current central defender of Zenit considers that SR4 acted with malicious intent.
Rumor has long circulated that Lovren had his ‘personal revenge’ in an international match. Well, it is no longer an unofficial version, because Dejan confessed that he did go to look for the world champion in a Croatia vs Spain: “If possible. It’s possible. I don’t want to make a big story about this, but the way I look at it, I felt like it was on purpose, when he injured him (Salah) in the final. So it was time for revenge “.
Respect the world champion as a player; however, he does things and has gestures that he does not like at all: “I respect him as a player and for what he does for his team. He has won many titles with his club, he has scored many goals. You have to respect that. But on the other hand, things that he did, things that he does in the game, I don’t like them. I don’t like players like that “, he said, in an interview for Sada Elbalad.
The 1989-born also shared that Modric tried to persuade him not to go looking for Sergio in their UEFA Nations League clash. Lukita clearly was unsuccessful: Luka Modric tried to reduce the tension. Then we played Spain in Croatia and I had a header, and my elbow hit Ramos’s head. And I said: ‘Now we are 1-1’ “.
He doesn’t stop believing that Salah’s loss affected the reds in that final in Kiev: “We played much, much, better when Mo was on the court. It was a great loss for us. After Mo came out, they started to control the game. “
Undefeated data. Dejan Lovren was UEFA Champions League champion in 2019. Without the prominence of other courses, but he lifted the European Cup with the Anfield giant.
