To say that Mohamed Salah has been a messiah of sorts for us this season would be an understatement. We will forever be grateful to Jurgen Klopp for bringing a player like him to Anfield and regardless of how he performs next term, one cannot deny that he has enjoyed a spectacular start to life in the Premier League.
A strong contender for the Golden Boot this season, Salah has provided tough competition to Tottenham talisman Harry Kane. Salah makes scoring goals look incredibly easy and there seems to be a certain sense of nonchalance in his performances. He does not get complacent but at the same time, he never lets us down when we need him.
With an upcoming clash against West Bromwich Albion this weekend, there is no doubt that Salah will be an important player for us. Speaking at his pre-match press conference (quoted by Liverpool’s official website), Klopp mentioned that the Egyptian is focused on ensuring a successful season for Liverpool rather than chasing personal glory.
We do have tough challenges ahead of us in the form of the Champions League but Klopp reiterated that Salah’s target is to guide Liverpool to a solid finish.
“There are always personal targets, but the main target for Mo is to finish in the Champions League spots and, in an ideal world, to go to the final – and if you are then there, to win the final.
“We don’t have to think too much about that; it’s not that we start now bringing him into situations where he can score. We have to play normal football and in the end, if Mo is at his best, he will be a goal threat at least. If he is in the right positions, he will score or not. That’s how it always was.”
From what we have seen in Salah’s behaviour on and off the pitch, he seems like an extremely humble person. He is a household name across the Merseyside right now but the Egyptian continues to fight for the team. Given his blistering form, there is no doubt that the player will achieve personal success as well.
With the season coming to an end, here’s wishing Salah all the best for the challenges to come!
