Arnold defends Mohamed Salah. His level has not declined
The English international Alexander Arnold, the back of Liverpool, rejected the criticism directed against his Egyptian colleague Mohamed Salah during the recent period, due to the lack of goals, stressing that the level of the Egyptian international did not decline.
"I think the criticisms are unfair, because of the levels that Salah presented in the past," Arnold said, in statements to the British newspaper, "Liverpool Echo."
He added: "Salah is a victim of his personal success. He is still a great scorer, and he is second behind me, as more than giving assists in the Premier League, and yet people say that his performance is bad.. He is almost the best scorer in the Champions League as well. ".
He continued, "Look at what Salah has done with us over the past five seasons... He has been great, so it's not fair for people to say he's going through a bad phase."
He concluded:
Salah did not score from open play, during the last 10 matches with the "Reds" in various tournaments.
It is noteworthy that Salah is the top scorer in the English Premier League with 20 goals, while he is ranked fourth in the Champions League scorers' standings, this season, with 8 goals, 5 goals behind the leader Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich's star.
