‘They’re going to kill me’ - Mohamed Salah makes ‘crazy’ admission and admits big Liverpool change

Mohamed Salah is already eyeing Premier League or Champions League glory for Liverpool this season

The Egyptian has started the season in sensational form, returning three goals and three assists from the first three games of the season.

With the Reds enjoying an 100% winning start to the campaign under new head coach Arne Slot, they currently sit second in the table

It remains to be seen if this will prove to be the 32-year-old’s last season at Liverpool.

But after starting the campaign in impressive form, helping to allay any fears about the Reds’ credentials following Jurgen Klopp’s departure, Salah has set his sights on winning a ‘big trophy’

“We’ve had a few conversations,”

“I think so far the team is playing good, which is the most important thing.

“Myself also playing well. We just need to carry on and try to win a big trophy this season.

“I love playing big games for the club. United, everybody knows the history between both clubs.

“I think first two seasons, I didn’t score. That’s crazy. I think people were saying like he doesn’t like big games or he’s not doing good enough in that big game, but I was lucky to score my first goal and after that things come easier.”

Salah is currently Liverpool’s fifth all-time leading goalscorer with 214 goals from 352 appearances

having scored more than 25 goals in all but one of his previous seven seasons with the Reds, the forward is well-placed to climb higher up such lists.

A 31-goal season would see him climb to third in Liverpool’s all-time rankings, overtaking both Billy Liddell and Gordon Hodgson

Salah admits that he wasn’t a natural goalscorer when he first joined Liverpool, with such a trait developing over time.

“The one I was into it too much was Premier League record for the club,”

“That was in my head, that’s why I took the shirt off against United (after scoring his record 129th league goal for Liverpool in their 7-0 victory at Anfield in March 2023).”

“No, that (being a goalscorer) developed with time. When I was at Roma, in two seasons I scored 30 goals.

“Now if I score 30 goals in two seasons, they’re going to kill me here!”

“But I think that changed a lot, especially in my first season I won the Golden Boot so the expectation becomes bigger and bigger and bigger.”
