Jurgen Klopp, coach of the English football team Liverpool, praised Mohamed Salah’s “complete fitness” as he prepares to face rival rival Manchester United.
British news agency PA Media reported that the German coach also praised the way the team dealt without its top scorer for two months, when Salah was absent initially due to his participation with the Egyptian national team in the African Cup of Nations and then due to a problem with his hamstrings. He was exposed to it during the tournament.
Salah scored and assisted three goals in the first 90 minutes he played since the beginning of the year, in the match in which Liverpool beat Sparta Prague 6-1 in the European League, but the team’s trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the FA Cup will provide a true measure of whether Salah… Is he back to his best or not?
The Egyptian international player is looking forward to the match, especially since he scored more goals against Manchester United with Liverpool than any other team, as he scored 12 goals in 13 matches.
Klopp said: “This is wonderful. You saw him yesterday. How many goals did he make in the first half? He scored and participated in all the other goals. He is exceptional.”
He added: “I would have liked to have replaced him, but this was not available due to the situation of Bobby Clarke (who suffered a minor injury) and Salah was able to manage well, even after that he made a new goal and it was not counted due to offside.”
He added: “Salah is in perfect fitness. Ask him what he loves most about Manchester United, but the more you talk about it, the less likely it will happen again. He is an exceptional person, a world-class player, and how we coped without him was unbelievable. Unbelievable.” .
He added: “The players did a good job – but it is better for him to be with us on the field rather than in the locker room.”
