Klopp ignore ‘contribution’ of Liverpool’s highest-paid star

In his statement after the match against Man City, coach Juergen Klopp affirmed that of the Liverpool players who have played against the Premier League champions, only four players have an acceptable performance. And that includes no Mohamed Salah, although the Egyptian striker and the author of the opening goal.

“Only four players can play and that makes things difficult,” Klopp complained after the game. “The two midfielders, Hendo (Jordan Henderson) and Fab (Fabinho) played very hard, and Cody Gakpo and Alisson also performed well. But if you want to get something here, at least 14 or 15 players have to be at their best and that’s not what happened today.” Mr. Klopp meant to blame the defenders for playing inattentively, but ignoring Salah shows that the German coach is also not impressed with what the Egyptian striker has shown.

Salah was the one who scored the opening goal for Liverpool. With that goal, he did something special by becoming the first Liverpool player to score in all four games against the same opponent in the same season since 1986/87. That season, the legendary Ian Rush shot in all 5 matches against Everton; This season, Salah has also put his name on the scoreboard in 4 meetings with Man City. However, that is not enough.

Including the goal against Man City, from the beginning of 2023 until now, Salah has only scored 5 Premier League goals in a total of 4 matches. It is certainly not the form that Liverpool fans want to see in the No. 1 star during a crucial period of the season.

Speaking to Saudi newspaper Al Arabiya Sport in November about the 30-year-old’s new contract, Abbas said: “It’s good to know where he will be in the next two and a half years, but when someone has played a lot of football. years at the top level – I don’t think they need much motivation.

When he comes out on the pitch, he doesn’t think about contracts or things like that, he just lives in the moment and gives his best for any team, no matter where he is playing.”
