Salah's performance has declined this season, and manager Slot has dropped him to the bench in an effort to improve the team's consistency.

Van Basten, speaking to a Dutch sports channel, criticized Salah's reaction to being left out of the team, saying that he "reacts like a cockchafer" and doesn't have the "brains" to handle the situation.

Van Basten praised Slot for being honest and straightforward, saying that he doesn't shy away from making tough decisions.

Slot also declined to comment on whether Salah would play for the team again, saying he couldn't answer that question at the moment.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher criticized Salah's comments, calling them a "disgrace" and suggesting that they were a calculated move to gain sympathy and strengthen his position.

The January transfer window is approaching, and Salah's future with the team is uncertain.
