Technical Director of"Liverpool": Salah is the last thing that worries me about the team
Dutch Arne Slot, coach of the English team Liverpool, said that Mohamed Salah’s scoring level does not constitute any source of concern for him, despite the decline in the Egyptian star’s numbers this season.
Salah finished last season; Top scorer for the Reds with 29 goals, in addition to 18 assists that helped the team win the English Premier League title. However, the 33-year-old player was satisfied with only three goals in the league this season, as Liverpool struggled to regain its offensive brilliance despite spending nearly 415 million pounds on strengthening the front line last summer.
Slot’s decision came… By keeping Salah on the bench during the huge 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday, after four consecutive defeats, including a loss to Manchester United at Anfield. Slott said, in a press conference for tomorrow’s match against Brentford: “Salah always scores goals with Liverpool. The last thing that worries me is his return to scoring. This is what he has done throughout his career, and I expect him to continue doing so in the coming weeks and months.”
The coach relied on new signings such as Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitiki and Florian Wirtz in a renewed attacking system against Frankfurt, but Isak’s injury to his quadriceps muscle may mean Salah’s return to the starting lineup against Brentford on Sunday. Saturday.
Salah is experiencing his longest streak without scoring goals from open play in the league since his arrival to Liverpool in 2017, as he has only scored from penalty kicks during the last seven matches.
Sloat pointed out that the major changes in the team, and the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, may have a clear impact on the Egyptian star’s performance: “Perhaps the absence of Trent is a factor.” Influential, Salah played alongside him throughout his previous career here. There are many changes in the lineup, and everyone needs to build new understandings.”
