In a surprising disclosure, a former Premier League star has offered an unexpected perspective on Mohamed Salah.
Former Watford captain Troy Deeney shared his insights on Liverpool’s future under the potential new management of Arne Slot, emphasizing the significant shift expected at the club with Slot taking the helm from Jurgen Klopp.
Deeney highlighted Liverpool’s stature as a massive institution, where both the club and the fans demand success. He stressed that any transition should not deviate drastically from Klopp’s dynamic style, as it could quickly alienate the fans.
Challenges ahead with star players
Deeney pointed out that while Slot boasts a remarkable 75% win rate, adapting to Liverpool’s high standards and managing star players like Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk will be key challenges.
“He’s never managed anyone who’s earned more than 50k a week… now that’s some of the youth team players at Liverpool,” he said, as per One Football.
The podcast became intriguing when the conversation pivoted to Mohamed Salah. Simon Jordan expressed a controversial opinion, suggesting that Salah “can be a fair-weather player,” a viewpoint that may not resonate with all fans.
Deeney’s take on Mohamed Salah
Deeney addressed the question of Salah’s perceived overrating, stating, ”“I don’t think he’s overrated at all because he scores a lot of goals.”
The discussion shifted towards whether Salah merits being tagged ”world-class”. Deeney expressed, “I don’t think he’s world-class, I think he’s exceptionally good.”
This distinction stands out, suggesting that Salah is positioned just one step below the elite, a viewpoint that could certainly stir up conversations and differing opinions among fans and pundits.
