Klopp repudiates Mohamed Salah's decline. The legend of Liverpool reminds him of the "Great Decade" (video)
During the first six rounds of the English Premier League, it became clear the great suffering that Liverpool's star and scorer, Mohamed Salah, finds in embracing the net as he used to over the past years.
Liverpool is currently ranked sixth, 5 points behind the second Man City, and 6 points from the leaders Arsenal, and the latter played only five games, and if they win today against Man United, the difference will expand to 9 points with Liverpool.
It is noteworthy that Salah has scored only two goals so far, and is eight goals behind Haaland, the leader of the list, with ten goals in only six rounds, including a hat-trick twice.
Because of the difficult early situation in Liverpool, opinions and analyzes circulated to explain what was happening with Mohamed Salah, and his German coach, Jurgen Klopp, was subjected yesterday, after the disappointing 1-1 draw with Everton, to severe criticism, and some accused him of being one of the reasons behind Salah’s decline, as he pushes him to The wing is more, and is not allowed to move freely in the center of the attack, as was the case previously, in order to make room more for the new Uruguayan central striker Darwin Nunez.

And the newspaper "Mirror" quoted Klopp as saying that the matter is not in the way that is being reported, and that he still leaves the freedom to Salah, but he wants him to get used to the new situation in the wing.
He said that despite that, he does not want Salah or Luis Diaz for a fixed position, but rather a moving position as needed in the attacking wings, and even at the center level.
He indicated that more training is needed to get the attacking trio used to the new situation, especially in light of Nunez's participation.
On the other hand, the legend of Liverpool, the Scottish Graham Souness, mentioned Mohamed Salah with his great contract, which he signed at the beginning of the season, and said that "Salah got what he wanted, and he has a great contract, and he must prove his worth for that on the field."
He pointed out that since he signed the contract, he no longer sees Salah as he was before, and he talked about the Man United match, and how Argentine Lisandro Martinez managed to control him completely.
Then he saw that the matter was repeated in other matches, and said that after the new contract, Salah should not decline his level, even by 1% from what it was at least before.
He said that he says this to provoke Salah and push him to respond on the field, and he said: I hope he will lie to me in the upcoming matches.
