Never in my right mind, I would have thought that he would make such an impressive remark in me when I spotted him for the first time in the 2017 PL, followed by the 2018 edition of WC. A sub-par performance from his team overshadowed all the buzz that was created around him weeks before the start of the WC. If my memory serves right, he ended his 2018 campaign with 2 goals to his tally, which were unfortunately his team's only goals then.
Despite his international failures, he continued to be his club's head honcho in the goal scoring department. It wasn't easy for any LFC follower to ignore him, or see past him. He became the sacred cow in the team, making no excuses, being consistent in any match he appeared. It was not just his first-class goal scoring ability that made him one of the club's stalwarts; it was also the way he played the team-game, displayed the team spirit.
The energy he brings to the table with his appearance is immense and is beyond anything any player has brought to the club in recent times. With him, it has always been like,'If Salah is there, we'll still hold a chance'. In a way, he bolstered the already famous 'Liverpool grit' - the grit that makes you believe that you can turn the match even in the last few seconds; he soldered it stronger.
He is an asset not just to Liverpool, but also to the extended football fraternity. He is MOHAMED SALAH - A KING IN DISGUISE.
