A picture not worthy of a star the size of Egyptian Mohamed Salah!

Despite entering his Liverpool team’s match with Turkish Galatasaray with a record number, through which he became the Reds’ player with the most participation in Champions League matches (81 matches), Egyptian star Mohamed Salah appeared with an inappropriate technical level that may harm his international football image, and may hasten his departure from Anfield.

Mohamed Salah’s numbers were disastrous in Tuesday’s match in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, as he played 60 minutes without shooting a single shot on goal, did not create any chance, did not succeed in any dribbling, touched the ball 35 times, and lost possession nine times, while the accuracy of his passes reached 85%, with 22 correct passes out of 26.

Mohamed Salah appeared helpless in most of the matches of the current season for several reasons, most notably the decline in the general level of his entire team, and the decline in the level of a number of his teammates, in addition to the lack of harmony and trust between the Egyptian star and his Dutch coach, Arne Slot, who has always criticized Salah’s level without offering real solutions to support him, in addition to Salah’s weak mental presence on the field, as if he began to doubt his ability to implement the technique he was accustomed to in shooting, passing, and winning duels.

Salah also bears an important part of the responsibility for not appearing as a bright star compared to previous golden seasons, especially since he lost his most important weapons on the field, which are speed, flexibility, and speed of decision-making, and it seems that his arrival at the age of (33 years) had a major impact on that.

Mohamed Salah scored only five goals for Liverpool this season, and provided six assists in 21 matches in the English Premier League, which is a weak rate for a star of his size, which doubles the possibilities of his departure from Liverpool, which is preparing an alternative plan by contracting with German FC Leipzig winger Jan Diomandy (19 years old).

Will Mohamed Salah wake up from his football coma and return to his former self, or will the weak technical indicators force him to change his shirt and try out in a new league?
