The British newspaper “I” believes that the decline in the levels of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool striker, during the current season, was the result of the convictions of his German coach, Jurgen Klopp, as well as the inability of the Uruguayan Darwin Nunez, the most expensive player in the club’s history, to adapt so far with the team.
Salah scored only two goals this season, and he could not even participate in any of the nine goals Liverpool scored against Bournemouth, and he also missed scoring in the Newcastle and Everton matches in the last two rounds of the Premier League competition.
And the newspaper said in its Monday edition: Klopp tried in vain to convince everyone that Mohamed Salah’s level is not different from what it was in previous seasons, but the truth is that Salah is playing isolated on the side unlike previous seasons when he became a pivotal striker who enters the depth a lot.
And she continued: When one of Salah’s best matches in recent years is compared, which is the match against Manchester United 4-0 last season when he scored two goals, it can be seen that he touched the ball 8 times inside the penalty area alone, but this season one of the best scorers in the world was transferred. The history of the Premier League to the winger and his numbers fell, but Klopp does not want to admit that.
“I” referred to the occasion when Salah entered the Liverpool match in stoppage time, when he almost won another dramatic victory in the last moments of Liverpool, before Jordan Pickford saved his ball brilliantly.
And the British newspaper added: Mane’s exit was influential on Salah, given their understanding together at the front, today Mane left and Nunez came in his place, but the latter did not adapt to the team in general and the front line in particular, as he is still looking for himself in England so far, as He is forced to play deep, pushing Salah to the right wing, and this is a waste of a scoring talent rarely seen in the English Premier League.
