Liverpool’s No. 1 midfielder appears to have unmatched strength, but the former Brighton great disagrees. Van Dijk, according to Allister, should not even be in the top two.
Mac Allister stated specifically, “I would say it’s Mohamed Salah or Kostas Tsimikas.”
The interviewer was taken aback by the fact that a player barely 5’9 tall is at the top of the Red Brigade’s strongest ranking. “Oh, yes,” the 2022 World Cup champion continued. He works out in the gym every day, so he’s in good shape.”
Even though we were astonished, we can comprehend a little better after watching what the Egyptian great did on the field. Salah has frequently used his speed, agility, and strength to outwit big and powerful Premier League opponents. For several years, the Liverpool striker has been the Premier League’s leading goalscorer and a major threat to every defense.
Tsimikas, a left back, is the second case described. Although he did not earn a starting spot in Jurgen Klopp’s side, the Greek player is not without strength.
Liverpool is having a fantastic return season, and Mohamed Salah remains a key player in the German coach’s squad. There have been numerous occasions when the Red Brigade has fallen behind, even in a position with few individuals, but they have always overcame obstacles and returned to class.
After the first five rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool stayed unbeaten with four victories and one tie, placing third and only two points behind Man City in top place.
