Egyptian international Mohamed Salah has scored and assisted numerous goals and assists at Anfield since 2017, and this season he has returned to performances reminiscent of his prime.
He has created chances from the right wing and scored goals with brilliant technique, and his penalty kicking skills are first class.
The 32-year-old winger has made history, not only for Liverpool but also for the Premier League, and will turn 33 in June this year.
While a decline in speed and physicality can be fatal, especially for wingers, Egyptian King has given the impression that he has adapted his style of play to suit his age.
There is also a decline in physical fitness due to age. Former Italian international Gianfranco Zola, who scored many goals for Chelsea, Parma and Napoli, has mentioned changes with age, saying Salah has become very efficient.
“I think we are talking about when you reach a certain age you lose a little bit of strength but you become more efficient,”
“And this is the word I would use with him, he’s become so efficient. Everything he does has a meaning and he is very, very effective.”
“When you reach a certain age you have to understand that you have to spend more time with your body to rest,”
“You need to dedicate more time to eat properly and to exercise properly.”
“For him it will be a matter of that, of experimenting of what is good for him and trying to last longer. He can do that because he’s so good.”
