Mohamed Salah was crucial in Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Ipswich Town, earning the man-of-the-match accolade from TNT Sports. His impact was clear as he assisted Diogo Jota’s first goal and added one himself, surpassing Premier League icons Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and Alan Shearer for the most goals scored on the season’s opening weekend.
Following the game, Salah reflected on his performance and the team’s progress under new head coach Arne Slot. He conveyed his contentment with the outcome and enthusiasm for the new chapter at Liverpool. His remarks emphasized his commitment to maintaining strong performances as the team adjusts to Slot’s tactics, marking a promising beginning to the season. Salah commented, “It was challenging, with the warm weather and a tough opponent in Ipswich. I’m pleased with our victory and always happy to contribute. The key is that the team won, and we need to keep this momentum going.
“I hope to sustain this form throughout the season and not just in the first match. Scoring and assisting make me happy, and I’ll keep working hard.
“Jurgen Klopp was with us for eight years and gave his all. Now we have a new manager and a different system, which is a change for everyone. We need to adapt and take it one step at a time, especially with some players joining late after international duties. We must learn his style and enjoy our football.
“We don’t want to add extra pressure on Slot; we just need to focus on playing, enjoying the game, and seeing how things turn out.”
