So far so good, The little story of Mohammad Salah is that which cuts across the fabrics of mere football professionalism. It has become an ocean of inspiration and motivation to many uprising soccer players around the globe.
And trust me, in the nearest future, posterity will enquire about this man and how he rose to the pinnacle of world football. Any player of this era who have one time or the other enjoyed the privilege of being Compared with Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo, is to me no common player.
Ronaldo and Messi have shown unwavering dominance of world football for the past decade and are still the head figures of the game even as I speak. No matter how good other players are, these two guys still have a way of appearing extraordinary.
So when I see a player that is able to give them(Messi and Ronaldo) a run for their money, I pick so much interest in that player. Though am no Liverpool fan, but trust me, I will be trying too hard in futility, if I say Salah hasn't swept me off my feet. Dude! He is good.
For Salah to have gotten to that point where fans were arguing whether he was the best for the season, and was also nominated for the FIFA best Player Award, shows Salah have indeed done something spectacular.
Kicked on the butt by Chelsea few years back, the Egyptian goal poacher and current African best player, Mohammed Salah will later rise from his woes at Stamford bridge to a legendary figure at Anfield. The world is not really as big as science makes us imagine.
Salah Not Having Bad Season So far
Though am not in anyway trying to say that the Egyptian hero is flying at the same altitude of his game like last season, however, I will be far from the reason and truth if I say that he is having a bad season so far.
In fact, for me, Mohammed Salah hasn't been having a bad season at all. He may have been extraordinary during his first season(2017-2018) at Liverpool, but that the urge to compare him with his first season doesn't entail that he is below what is expected of talisman in a football team.
I have been following people's comments on social media handles, and the bulk of them have been centered on the Liverpool's forward last season wonder. They keep saying he is not in form this season, and it makes me wonder what else they expect from Salah.
These critics keeps citing Salah's last season Champions League final shoulder injury as the fundamental reason why he hasn't been playing at the same altitude like last season.
Not so many have bothered to see his impact this season for both Club and country, as these group of persons are of the perception that the Egyptian forward is still searching for his last season form. And since am entitled to my own opinion, I make bold to say that Salah is in form. Anyone who doesn't agree with me can come forth and advance his argument.
Despite all these doubts, Liverpool strolled out in glory from a rain-soaked Molineux stadium on Friday with their head held high. And again it was Salah who stepped up when they needed him the most. Scoring a kind of goal that only players like Messi execute at regular intervals.
He wouldn't stop at that, he went ahead to supply Van Djik with an assist to put the game 2-0 beyond Wolves, of course ensure that Liverpool went into Christmas break with smiles.
He has got 11 goals this season with 5 assists in the English Premier League. Just a goal behind Arsenal's Abumeyang. And someone is still thinking this dude is far from form? Mheeen, come on, this guy is up there.
He is a top contender for the Premier League Golden boot once again, and thinking a man at the second position of top scorers chart is not in form is ridiculous. Salah had scored an amazing 32 goals and 10 assists last season. In fact, by this time last season he had already scored 14 goals, so is not like he is that far from his previous feat.
I just don't see reason why people keep wanting him to do something supernatural just to keep up with high expectations. Liverpool is seen sitting at the top of the League and if Salah continues at the streak at which he is going, trust me, they may lift that trophy.
Do you think Mohammed Salah needs to do more this season before he can be placed at the top where he was last season? Lemme hear your thought.
