Arne Slot Renders Tribute to Mohamed Salah
During a press conference following the thrilling and prolific draw between Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League (2-2), Arne Slot showered praise on Mohamed Salah.
Salah struck again. While Arsenal led by a goal with just minutes remaining in the match during this ninth round of the Premier League, the Egyptian international donned his hero's cape to equalize the score and secure a point for his team. With this goal, Salah tallied his sixth of the season in the league and his eighth across all competitions, confirming his excellent form against one of his favorite opponents in England.
It’s no coincidence. By scoring again at the Emirates Stadium, Salah recorded his eleventh goal in fifteen Premier League matches against the Gunners. This remarkable feat places him among the most prolific players against Arsenal, trailing only behind Harry Kane (14) and Wayne Rooney (12), according to Opta stats.
"You Need Players of This Quality"
Delighted with his star's performance, Arne Slot praised his display after the draw, a result that benefits Manchester City. "Mohamed Salah’s contribution is not limited to scoring. He is always available for us. I think that’s one of the qualities of the best players: they always show up in important matches. Today, he had a great game, just like last week against Chelsea, where he also excelled with a goal and an assist," the Dutch coach stated at the press conference.
Slot continued his praise by emphasizing, "That’s what you need if you’re a big club, like Liverpool or Arsenal. You need players of this quality because without them, it’s difficult to achieve results. These players can make the difference, and today Mo did just that on the offensive end."
Liverpool’s new manager, like his predecessor Jürgen Klopp, seems to have a cornerstone in Salah. The Egyptian continues to lead, inspire, and rescue the team in tough moments. At Anfield, Liverpool knows they can always count on their "Pharaoh."
