Salah continues to be an essential figure of Liverpool, playing a key role in the domination of the team at the top of the Premier League under the direction of the new coach Arne Slot. One of the determining aspects of Salah's career is his ability to offer decisive moments, even in matches where he may not be in his best. The Liverpool talisman attributes this ability to a precious lesson he learned from Wenger.
Salah remembered a conversation he had with Wenger, during which he sought to understand the difference between good players and very large.
“I think I received this advice from Arsène Wenger in the past”, He said in an interview with TNT Sports expert Steve McManaman. “” He said to me, 'The big players, no matter how they play in the game. He is still focused and waiting for the moment. He's still in the game '. And I took this into consideration a few years ago.
“The emotions of the players go up and down, (but) I don't want mine to be like that. I'm just trying to be stable and understand that it is not every game that you are going to make your best match. If you stay focused, you may have a chance. »»
Salah is waiting for his time
In addition to his mental resilience, Salah spoke of the way he manages the verbal taunts of defenders who try to destabilize him. Rather than engaging in stormy exchanges, the Egyptian striker remains calm and confident in his own capacities.
“If some of them (the opposing defenders) try to speak in a derogatory way, I do not like to commit myself to it”, said Salah. “I tell them: 'I don't need much, I just need a chance, just a chance, and you will pay the price'”.
