The record-breaking Mohamed Salah spoke after he assiste. Mohamed Salah was named as TNT Sports’ man-of-the-match after he inspired Liverpool’s 2-0 opening day win at Ipswich Town. The Egyptian King set up Diogo Jota to break the deadlock and then got in on the act himself.
The goal was a particularly special one as it moved Salah above Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer in the history books.It was the Liverpool No.11’s ninth goal on the opening weekend of a Premier League season, taking him above his fellow legends, who all finished their careers on eight.
And after the game, the Reds’ talisman spoke to TNT Sports about his performance, the win and life under new head coach Arne Slot, who has taken over from the legendary Jurgen Klopp.
He said: “It was quite tough, the weather is really warm today, it was a tough team (Ipswich), I’m glad we won the game, and I’m always happy to make a difference for the team. That’s the most important thing, the team won the game, so we just need to carry on.
Hopefully I can keep going like this for the whole season and not just the first game. I’m always happy to score goals and give assists, so I just need to carry on.
Jurgen (Klopp) was with the team for eight years, and gave everything, and now it’s a new manager, new system, it’s quite different for all of us, so we need to adapt, take it step by step, because some players also came late (after international commitments), so we need to know his way of playing and enjoy our football.
We don’t want to put more pressure on him (Slot), we just need to play football, enjoy our games, and see how it will end
