Having marked his 15th and 16th goals of the season, Salah, with a total of 150 goals for the Reds in the competition, expressed confidence in his teammates’ ability to perform in his absence. Addressing the upcoming AFCON challenges, Salah stated, “I want to win this competition. I would love to win it. Without me, I’m sure the team [Liverpool] will manage to win the games.”<\/p>\n
Highlighting the team’s fantastic players and quality, Salah emphasized the need for his colleagues to play freely and express themselves on the field. Downplaying his own significance, he remarked, “Anyone can play in my position, and anyone can do what I’m doing. We have a good system, and everybody just needs to be free to express themselves.”<\/p>\n
For Salah, representing the national team holds immense importance, stating, “It means a lot to play for the national team. It’s a great feeling every time you step on the pitch with the national jersey, something I cannot take for granted. I’m just happy to be there and I want to win it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
