A rebound from the reigning English champions is expected this Saturday evening on the Brentford pitch as part of the 9th day. And who says reaction says reaction of his strongman Mo Salah. The Egyptian international has been silent for 6 matches with Liverpool.
Worse, number 11 is not visible on the field and struggles to make a difference with the ball. A situation which worries the various observers but his trainer. Present at a press conference this Friday, Arne Slot did not fail to defend his superstar.
“The last thing I'm worried about is Mo starting to score goals again… and that's what I expect from him in the coming weeks and months for our club. Everyone has been through a difficult time. Statistics influence public opinion. I have to show everyone what we did right and what we did wrong,”
he said.
Observers not worried about Salah
But where is the Mo Salah who was flying in the Premier League last year? For the moment, the Scousers number 11 is struggling to find his best level within the Liverpool attack. +A misform which does not particularly worry the various observers within the Kingdom.
“Mohamed Salah had a difficult start to the season. It happens. There have only been 8 matches, it happens! I don't worry. I think if you asked Mohamed Salah himself, he would be the most disappointed with the way things are going for him right now. But he's not going to stay at home moping, questioning himself, because he's too good for that.” said Andy Cole in comments reported by the newspaper l'Team.
Before continuing: “Does his age (33) worry me? No, because we have this preconceived idea that once we reach a certain age, we are no longer capable of anything. But what is the difference? What's going on? Because he didn't start out like everyone expected, all of a sudden, is it because of his age? If he goes on a crazy run, if he scores in every game for the next 5 games, what will we say then? Will we still talk about his age? I think only Mo Salah knows what he's going through right now, and he knows that things will change for him. »
