Liverpool fans opened fire on the Egyptian team player, Mohamed Salah, after the humiliating defeat against Napoli, 4-1, in the first round of the Champions League, as they returned again to lament the departure of Senegalese Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich.
The date between Liverpool and Napoli was renewed in a repeat of the group stage of the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 seasons, when the “red” came out defeated from their visits to the south of Italy (0-1 and zero-2) and were satisfied with one victory in four games.
Salah did not provide the performance expected of him at the “Diego Armando Maradona” stadium, as he could not win any double during the 62 minutes he played, taking a single shot that was intercepted by the opponent’s players, and touching the ball 26 times without passing any decisive or key pass.
And fans of the English team said on Twitter: “Sadio Mane was the one who carried Liverpool on his shoulder, not Salah, and they continued: Salah continued the habit of disappearing in the big matches.
Sadio Mane left Liverpool last summer for Bayern Munich after 6 seasons with the “red”, during which he won the English Premier League for the first time in 30 years and the Champions League, and formed with Salah and Firmino a wonderful attacking trio.
And Liverpool fans continued: Liverpool has not presented anything since Salah appeared on television threatening Real Madrid to defeat him in the Champions League final, and we all know what happened in the match. And she concluded: Mane’s departure revealed Salah, without him he is an ordinary player.
In his analysis of the Napoli-Liverpool match, former England international defender Rio Ferdinand criticized Salah and Virgil van Dijk, saying: Salah is not the same as before, and so is Van Dyck.
Salah got a rating of 6.4 from the famous statistics website “SofaScore”, and is the fourth worst participant in the match after Joe Gomez, James Milner and Darwin Nunez.
The 30-year-old has not appeared at his usual level since the start of the season, scoring only 3 goals in 8 matches for his team in all competitions.
