PHOTO: Mamadou Sakho refutes claims he celebrated to Liverpool’s defeat to Palace, saying he does not see anything wrong ‘shaking hands’ with a friend
On loan
Liverpool defender, Mamadou Sakho came under huge criticism from the Liverpool
fans, after sunday's game in which Liverpool lost...
...The defender came under heavy backlash in the social media, in what the fans called 'disrespecting the club'...they questioned his celebration with Benkete...after Big Benteke scored a brace against former club, Liverpool...
...The French international, has since refuted the allegation,
saying it was just a normal hand shake, as he did not celebrate the goals
scored by Benkete...But the clips from
the game showed otherwise Mr Sakho!
When
asked about it, and how he feels about the club Liverpool and fans after his
alleged celebration, He said:
“When Christian scored, I stayed seated as I
didn't want to celebrate by respect for the club to which I belong and the
fans,”
“But when he came over to me, I stood up and
did what we always do as friends, our hand check.
“There
was nothing behind it, nothing else to imply by it. Just two friends who are
playing for the same team and who have the same goal, which is to get the three
points at each game to make sure the team stays in the Premier League.
“If we
were losing 2-0 and Christian reduced the score, we would have also done it if
he came to me.”
Crystal Palace performance at
Anfield, was a first class performance, as the defenders were able to cope
without their inform on loan defender, Sakho, and here was what the on loan
defender had to say:
“We are very happy obviously. That was our
goal when we set foot on the pitch. We need all the points we can get to be
sure to stay in the Premier League - that is our mission. That is why I
accepted the challenge with Palace, and we need to be the best we can as a team
to succeed.”
