Former Tottenham Hotspur and Roma star Mido recently questioned Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah’s leadership skills. The 31-year-old forward picked up the injury during Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign and is still awaiting his return. Mido claims the Egypt captain does not have the same leadership qualities as Salah.”Messi is the leader of Argentina just like Salah is the leader of Egypt.
Salah is a star for Egypt and what he has done for the national team is similar to what Messi has done for Argentina,” he said.”Is Salah doing what Ronaldo is doing in Portugal?” He instructs the players to take penalties, tells them who has the ball and who follows the ball, and gives each his personality.
“Mido also spoke about the captain’s situation at Anfield, comparing the contributions of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to their respective countries. “Salah has improved mentally, but he has never been a leader on the pitch. Ask yourself why Salah never wore the captain’s armband at Liverpool. “Don’t say it’s a foreign player because that doesn’t play a part in English football and there’s a lot of evidence.
“Salah was negatively affected by being the head of Egypt. “Had he been released from captivity, he would have had more freedom and less burden.” Despite concerns about his influence in the dressing room, Salah remains Egypt’s most influential star in terms of goals. He scored 54 goals and 32 assists in 96 league games for the national team. The Merseysiders would like to bring him back given his importance this season.
Salah has scored 14 goals and 8 assists in 20 Premier League games. Liverpool are currently at the top of the table with 54 points after 24 games.Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was asked about Mohamed Salah’s return date following the Reds’ 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley on Saturday (February 10). The forward has missed six league games through injury but is expected to train ahead of the weekend clash. Klopp (after 90 minutes):“Hopefully he’ll train next week so we’ll have to see if he takes all the steps, but look, he’s positive.
“If you ask me, it’s next week or the week after.”Liverpool travel to Brentford for their next league game on Saturday (February 17). Liverpool are two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City.
