German coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Egyptian star Mohamed Salah has the ability to continue playing, shining and scoring goals until he reaches the age of forty, indicating that the achievements the latter achieved with Liverpool will never be repeated.
Last month, Salah announced the end of his amazing career with Liverpool, as he will leave Anfield at the end of the current season after achieving many titles, including the English Premier League “twice” and the Champions League. He also became the third best scorer in the history of the Red Club after Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
In an interview conducted by Klopp, who worked with Salah for seven years, on the podcast of former player Peter Crouch, he stated: “I have never seen a player with this unique combination of ability, mentality and desire.”
He added: “While many players are trying to improve, Salah raised his level to another level, as he was constantly working on finishing attacks and his overall performance. He even built a goal in his home to train to improve the quality of converting opportunities, devoting hours to honing his skills, and really every season I noticed that he added something new, such as technical improvement or a new way of creating and scoring goals.”
He concluded his speech by saying: “Salah still has several years ahead of him at the highest levels, and at the age of thirty-three, I believe that the Egyptian striker can easily continue for another five or six years, maintaining his performance and influence until the late thirties and perhaps even forty.”
