On Saturday, in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town, Mohamed Salah set a new record for most goals scored in a Premier League opening match with nine. The 32-year-old Egypt international will be a “force” this season, according to TNT Sports’ Peter Crouch and Joe Cole, who dismiss any concerns about his age. “The man is a machine,” remarked Crouch, a former England international.
Joe Cole, a former Chelsea and England player, predicts that Mohamed Salah, a striker for Liverpool, will be a “force” again this year.At the age of 32, some have questioned whether Salah has seen better days ahead of him as he approaches the last year of his contract at Anfield.
As Liverpool kicked off the Arne Slot era with a 2-0 victory over newcomers Ipswich Town, the Egypt international scored his eighth goal on the first day, responding to doubters.With his latest goal, Salah has surpassed Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and Alan Shearer for the most goals scored in an opening match.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Cole insisted that the athlete was in peak physical condition and a true star in his discipline. Although he struggled towards the end of his tenure under Jurgen Klopp, he is determined to return and become a formidable force. “He will be up there among the goals this year, no doubt.”A machine, that man is. “Every summer, he returns looking cuter and healthier,” ex-Liverpool striker Peter Crouch chimed in.
“It’s a credit to how he looks after himself.”
