Salah sets ambitious target for Liverpool this season | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah has said Liverpool are aiming to ‘win it all’ under Arne Slot this season.

Liverpool have started the season in fine form under the new head coach and sit top of the Premier League table at November’s international break.

A 2-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend extended their advantage to five points from second-placed Manchester City, while Liverpool also lead the Champions League’s league phase with maximum points from four games.

Slot has overseen a record-breaking start to his career in charge at Anfield, after arriving from Feyenoord to replace Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

Salah has been instrumental in Liverpool’s performances this season and became the first player in Europe’s top five leagues to reach 10+ goals and 10+ assists across all competitions last weekend.

Speaking in the latest episode of ‘The Reds Roundtable’ alongside teammates Alisson Becker and Andy Robertson, Salah set his aims high for the campaign.

The 32-year-old dismissed the suggestion Liverpool are underdogs in any competition and said the Reds must target success on all fronts this season.

“Win it all!” Salah said when asked on his season’s ambitions.

“In my opinion, I work so hard every day. I hate the idea that we’re underdogs. No! We have an incredible group. [Alisson] is one of the best in the world… in each position you’re going to find a player who is really one of the top three in the world. So, why don’t we win it?

“This city and this club has to always fight for everything.”

Salah reveals Arsene Wenger advice

Salah has maintained his remarkable consistency in 2024/25 and the winger revealed how advice from former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger helped him become a better player.

“I think I get advice from Arsene Wenger before,” Salah recalled.

“He was in Melwood at that time, I asked him what’s different between a good player and a really, really good player. He said, ‘I think the very, very good player is always focused in the game. Even if he doesn’t have the momentum, he stays in the game until the last minute or until the whistle.’

“I think for me, I know there’s some games where I don’t have the momentum, I don’t have the game, but I’m always focused in the game. Johnny [Heitinga] when he came here this year, he’s like, ‘Oh Mo, you’re not playing good today!’ and I say, ‘Yeah, but I always find a moment!’ I’m not always very good in the game, it’s normal, we’re still human, but I always try to find a way to change a game.

“I think some players don’t accept the feeling and keep fighting it, but if you accept it and embrace it, it’s nothing. It’s more your imagination going in your head. But if you accept it and embrace it, it’s OK to feel that way. It’s OK to have a bad game, it’s important to stay in the game and try to make a difference.”
