The Egyptian player says losing the PL Golden Boot to Harry Kane last season motivated him to take his game to the next level this year.

 

A little about the topic

The English footballer finished with one more goal than his Reds counterpart at the end of the 2020-21 campaign when he scored his 23rd goal in the final game of the season. Harry also topped the league’s assistant charts that season, and it was the pain of missing out that motivated Mohamed to go ahead and claim both awards this time around.

 

What did Mohamed Salah say?

The Egyptian star shared the top scorer with Tottenham star Son Heung-min with 23 goals and passed Liverpool team-mate Alexander-Arnold to finish at the top of the goalscoring chart with 13. Mohamed Salah said that when he signed here, he can’t say that he expected him to go on and win three golden boots himself.

But in the first year, Salah fought Harry Kane at the beginning and then he said he had a big chance to win it. So when Mohamed won it from Harry, and he won two years ago, he went on vacation and said why not? “You beat Kane and he’s the top scorer, so let him try for second,” Salah said. Salah won his second year and after that said they should go for four or five.

According to Mohamed Salah, for five years he has always competed for it, he lost last year in the last game against Harry. Last year was painful, that’s what pushed him to be who he is this year. The Egyptian player thinks that last season as a team was not very good, but to win the golden boot in the last game with a one-goal difference? This is not good. Salah was so motivated, he worked like crazy during the summer. He said that next year he will win both things, the golden boot and assists. Salah says he worked like crazy to win both.
