Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has expressed his admiration for Mohamed Salah’s current form, shifting the focus from his goal-scoring exploits to his tireless work off the ball.

Details: Following Liverpool’s commanding 3-0 FA Cup win over Brighton, Slot highlighted the Egyptian’s remarkable commitment, noting how his relentless work rate benefits the entire squad. The manager emphasized that this kind of leadership discipline is what makes the team more balanced in high-pressure matches.

According to the Dutchman, the willingness of his star forward to drop deeper and support the defense has been a key factor for Liverpool this season.

“I think what I like most about Mohamed Salah right now is how much he helps the team defensively,” Slot stated.

The coach added that he sees this as an extremely positive sign for the entire squad.

It’s worth noting that the Egyptian has featured in 27 matches for the Merseyside club across all competitions this season, scoring 7 goals and providing 8 assists.

Reminder: “He is one of the best in the world,” Mohamed Salah said in awe of Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai’s form.
