Liverpool Star Praises Slot for Record-Breaking Title Campaign | OneFootball

Salah Credits Slot for Liverpool Inspiration After Record-Breaking Season

Mohamed Salah revealed that a key conversation with Arne Slot helped inspire his most productive campaign yet for Liverpool.

Salah, who found the net during Liverpool’s emphatic 5-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield, moved past Sergio Aguero to become the Premier League’s all-time leading international goalscorer. His numbers this season are extraordinary: 33 goals and 23 assists across all competitions, and the highest number of goal involvements in a single 38-game Premier League season.

Slot’s Tactical Shift Unlocks Salah’s Best

Speaking after Liverpool were crowned Champions with four matches to spare, Salah explained how Slot’s tactical approach made all the difference.

“You can see the numbers. Now I don’t have to defend much. The tactics are quite different. I said ‘as long as you rest me defensively, I will provide offensively, ‘ so I am glad that I did. He listened a lot and you can see the numbers,” Salah said.

Slot’s flexibility allowed Salah to gamble higher up the pitch, creating more opportunities both for himself and for his teammates.

“When you play in the Premier League you have to defend but I said that I can gamble and somehow I can make a difference. My number of assists shows that, you can create chances as well,” he added.

Historic Season Capped by Emotional Triumph

Liverpool’s title win holds even greater significance for Salah after the muted celebrations of 2020. This time, Anfield was packed, and the atmosphere was fitting for a team who dominated the league.

“It is incredible to win this with our fans,” Salah said. “This is 100% better than last time [in 2020], especially with the fans. We have a different group now so to show we can do it again is something special.”

Legacy Secured, Future Bright

Salah’s bond with Liverpool deepens with each record broken and each trophy lifted. His partnership with Slot has sparked new inspiration, ensuring that both player and club continue to push boundaries.
