Liverpool manager Arne Slot hails Mohamed Salah’s brilliance in their 2-0 Champions League win over Bologna, as Salah reaches 49 goals in the competition.
BollywoodFever: Liverpool manager Arne Slot was full of praise for Mohamed Salah after the forward’s brilliant performance in their 2-0 Champions League victory over Bologna on Wednesday. Salah delivered a pinpoint cross to assist Alexis Mac Allister’s goal and later scored a stunning strike to the top corner, marking his 49th Champions League goal.
Salah’s goal was his third in three games, breaking a mini drought of three goalless matches. Slot addressed Salah’s brief scoring lull, stating, “Before last week’s League Cup win over West Ham United, Mo played three games without scoring a goal. It happens in football. But players like Mo will always find their goals if you keep playing them.
Despite Salah’s impressive form, Slot refused to speculate on the Egyptian star’s future, as Salah’s contract expires at the end of the season. “Mo has done really well today, and I’m happy with how he’s performing. I’m not looking forward to next season,” Slot added.
The 46-year-old Dutchman, who took over from Juergen Klopp in the offseason, has led Liverpool to an impressive start, becoming the club’s first manager to win eight of their first nine games across all competitions. His team sits fifth in the 36-team Champions League table and tops the Premier League. However, Slot remained humble, downplaying the achievement: “I don’t draw many conclusions from that, but it’s nice. So many incredible managers have worked here, doing special things.”
Slot also credited Klopp for the squad he inherited, emphasizing the team’s work ethic. “It also says how I have been left this club — the work rate the players put in, how the staff are helping me get these results,” Slot said.
