‘He’s different’: Arne Slot names what really ‘impressed’ him most about Mohamed Salah after Liverpool beat Tottenham

Mohamed Salah continues to prove himself as Liverpool’s key player, whether under Jurgen Klopp or current manager Arne Slot, highlighted by his exceptional performance in the 6-3 demolition of Tottenham Hotspur.

At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Salah played a crucial role in four of Liverpool’s six goals, showcasing both his goal-scoring prowess and creative brilliance. Despite the emphatic victory, the 32-year-old urged his team to “improve” defensively, underscoring his relentless pursuit of perfection.

Salah’s consistency and longevity remain remarkable, as he leads all Premier League players in goal contributions this season across all competitions, tallying an astonishing 33 already. Both a prolific scorer and an ingenious creator, the Egyptian forward solidifies his legendary status at Liverpool.

Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, has been particularly impressed by Salah’s professionalism and ability to perform at the highest level every few days. Reflecting on Salah’s role in Liverpool’s win over Spurs, Slot shared his admiration:

“He understands what it takes to be at this level every three or four days. That is what impressed me most about him,” Slot told Sky Sports.

Salah’s exemplary approach to fitness and preparation allows him to avoid major injuries and maintain his elite form despite being on the other side of 30. He remains the epitome of professionalism and a shining example for players around the world.

The former Roma winger has not shown any signs of slowing down, making it a no-brainer for Liverpool to extend his contract beyond 2026.

The Champions League winner’s virtuosic performance against the Lilywhites was a reminder that he has plenty left in the tank to continue domineering over English football for years to come.

Andy Robertson said Salah is “the ultimate professional”

In November, Andy Robertson hailed Salah’s professionalism and rubbished any suggestions that the uncertainty around his future is affecting his mood.

Robertson said via BBC Sport: “He didn’t look sad to me.”

“Mo comes into training every day with a smile on his face. He’s such a focused individual and he will be focused on Real Madrid.”

“That’s what all good players do. That’s what the best in the world do and he certainly falls into that category.”

Salah is an inspiration to all young players across world football on what it takes to have a world-class career.
