What did Mohamed Salah say?
Mohamed declined to comment on finishing seventh in the Ballon d’Or vote, although he admitted he hopes to finish higher next year. Mohamed’s seventh place was controversial given that the Egyptian striker has scored 31 times for Liverpool in 2020-21 while already securing 19 goals and eight assists in just 19 appearances this season. As one of the best players in the world, Mohamed declined to criticize those responsible for his seventh place, although he said he expects better progress.
When asked how he feels about the vote, the Liverpool star replied that he had no comment before saying he hopes to finish higher next year. Mohamed scored Liverpool’s second and third goals on Wednesday in a 4-1 win over rivals Everton, with his second finish coming as a result of a Coleman error. Mohamed Salah said the message from the manager was that they would play physically strong and go 100% for every ball; they just had to play their game and try to create chances, which they did.
According to Mohamed Salah, he expected Seamus Coleman to make the mistake he made. The game was tough at 2-1, but it gets much better at 3-1. With 19 goals this season, including 13 in the Premier League, Mohamed believes this is just the beginning of what could be a big year at Liverpool. When asked how many goals he plans to score this season, Mohamed Salah said he hoped many more. his first goal is to win something at the club: the league, the Champions League, hopes, both.
