The English football legend compares Mohamed Salah with Cristiano Ronald

English football legend Gary Neville praised the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, after the good start of the Pharaoh with his team Liverpool at the opening of the new season of the English Premier League, and his scoring (hat-trick) in the opening match of the 2020-2021 season league, indicating through it the scoring instinct of Mohamed Salah, and his leadership of the Reds beat Leeds United 4-3.

He compared the legend of English football, the atmosphere that prevails in the Liverpool team, especially with regard to the relationship of Salah and his teammates, with colleagues previously seen by Neville at Manchester United, most notably the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, and his compatriot Wayne Rooney.

Neville said in statements to Sky Sports: "We know that he is a successful player, and that it is a bit strange in his ability to perform similar in every season to the image he appeared in four years ago, when he first arrived at Liverpool, scored 40 goals, and managed to live with that. Consistently and showing his goal instinct over a period of two or three years. "

He explained: "His instinct to score goals, and the constant competition within the team, especially with Senegalese Sadio Mane, reminds me of the atmosphere of two companions at Manchester United, and the competition between Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, despite the distinction shown by Salah and Sadio Mane in Liverpool over the past years." However, I think that the Egyptian star will surpass his Senegalese colleague. "

Adding: "The reason for the difference between these players is that they have something in their heads when they return to their homes at night, prompting them to sharpen their motivation and continue competing for the title of the best players in the world, and the continuity of giving for the team."

And he added, "We had a debate between Mane and Salah last season. Liverpool players love Mane more, as the Senegalese do something of selflessness for the benefit of the team, and Salah is not pleased with that at times, as he is more selfish and loved in the team, but to a lesser extent, and me." I see him as a stranger, and I think he makes up for that by constantly fighting on the field to score goals. "

The Egyptian star Mohamed Salah continues his brilliance in the English Premier League, after he led the team last Saturday and at the "Anfield" stadium, the headquarters of the team, to achieve an exciting victory over Leeds United in the opening round of the Premier League in the new season 2020-2021, by scoring Salah for the hat-trick, which caused anger. Gary Neville, the English star, talked about Salah's career in Liverpool, and how he achieved 97 goals over the course of 154 matches that the Pharaoh fought with the "Reds" in all competitions, and his creation of 41 goals for his colleagues, and compared it to Sadio Mane's career with the team, which is limited to 81 goals over the course of 172 games, in addition to the Senegalese in making 34 goals for his colleagues in Liverpool.
