Deeney: Salah puts goals first rather than the team, which is a big problem

Hupu News on October 25 Recently, former Premier League striker Deeney talked about his views on Liverpool star Salah in an interview with "The Sun".

Deeney said: "We have now reached a stage in the discussion about Salah - whether it is right or wrong, the topic will revolve around 'whether he is about to leave the team.' This is just like when people questioned whether Gerrard was too old. You know, Gerrard is recognized as the greatest player in the history of Liverpool One."

"Salah's legendary status has long been established. Even if he never plays for Liverpool, he is already a legend and iconic icon of the team, and his historical status is comparable to Gerrard."

"But now, Salah's selfish tendencies are more prominent than ever. He has always been a 'goal first' rather than 'team first' kind of player, and in Liverpool's new lineup, this is likely to become a big problem. "

"Some people may say that this evaluation is too harsh - after all, as a shooter, it is inevitable to be selfish. But from the second half of last year to this season, Salah's performance is indeed not good enough. "

"I was watching the game from the stands before. There was this scene near the end of the game: After Salah came on as a substitute, he got an offensive opportunity from a good angle. He could have made a cross pass and assisted Wirtz to score his first Liverpool goal. In that case, no one would When talking about Wirtz's £100 million transfer fee, no one will mention his difficult start in England. "

"But what's the result? Salah chose to shoot but failed to score, and Wirtz had no reaction. What impact does a moment like this have on a locker room? Other players will think to themselves: 'Oh, you still only care about yourself. ’”

“When you are selfish but can score goals and help the team win, everything is okay. But when you are selfish, fail to score, and let the team lose the game, the problem arises. Things only got worse in the dressing room, where jealousy, dissatisfaction and envy abounded. Today's Liverpool team , there are many players with high salaries and arrogance, but this was definitely not the case last year. "

"If a player is accused by his teammates of poor performance, he will now retort: 'Yeah, what about Salah? ’ Others will secretly wonder in front of Sloter: ‘Will you continue to start Salah? Is it my turn now? ’”

“The key to the question is not whether Salah is willing to adapt to a new style and extend his career by changing the way he plays like Gerrard did back then - but whether he still has such ability, or whether he still has enough time to do it. "
