Liverpool player Mohamed Salah frankly admitted that he is “not happy” with his or the team’s performance this season, despite scoring his 250th goal for the club in a much-needed 2-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday. The victory at Anfield ended the losing streak of four games in the league for the reigning champions.
After winning the Premier League title last year, this season Liverpool added some players to the squad, including Alexandar Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong.
When Salah was asked whether he was happy with his season, he said, “No, but I know football. I have played football for many years. I said at the beginning it is a very tricky season for us, we have a few new players, very good signings, but they need time to adapt to the team, and we lost a few good players as well. We just need time to adapt and know each other’s games, and we will be fine,” as cited in Sports Illustrated.
Before the Aston Villa win, Liverpool had lost six of their last seven matches in all competitions, which led them to drop points in the league and face difficulties in the Champions League. However, this recent win boosted them ahead of a formidable week. Liverpool is about to face Real Madrid in a vital Champions League match before traveling to face title rivals Manchester City in the Premier League.
As mentioned in the Sports Illustrated report, “It was very important, we have had a few losses in the Premier League and the Champions League, but I am glad we started coming back now and it is a good result before some very important games against Madrid and City,” said Mohamed Salah.
