After the “hat-trick” night, Did Salah return to his level , or was it a “boom”?
Egyptian star Mohamed Salah entered the history of the Champions League
by scoring three goals within 6 minutes, on Wednesday evening, becoming
the fastest player to score a “hat-trick” in one match in the history of the tournament.
Salah, who used to score last season, suffers from a clear decline in level this season,
so his hat-trick against Rangers has given Liverpool fans hope that Mohamed Salah
will return to his previous level.
Salah did not start against Rangers in the match, which ended 7-1, but entered
the second half and scored three quick goals.
And the British newspaper The Independent wrote: “Perhaps the solution to get
the best out of Salah, is to make him sit on the bench.”
The newspaper added: “He was denied play and then released to the stadium.
The Egyptian star prepared for the upcoming Manchester City match with
the fastest hat-trick in the history of the Champions League.”
As for Goal, it praised Salah: “Mohamed Salah was a candidate for a very frustrating week,
after he replaced early in the Arsenal match and did not involve him against Rangers,
all signs were indicating the beginning of the end of Salah’s dominance.”
The site added: “But this did not happen. Salah entered the 68th minute and stole
the spotlight with a historic trio. The Egyptian king returned to his throne.
A strong warning to Manchester City.”
And the Daily Mail pointed out that Wednesday night may be the night when
Liverpool turns its poor condition this season back to its strong form.
And a number of Liverpool fans refused to exaggerate the flattery, especially
since Rangers are one of the weakest teams participating in the tournament.
But Salah’s hat-trick came at an ideal time, as it comes a few days before
the summit match against Manchester City, in which Liverpool needs to show
a strong level to restore its pride.
Liverpool is in tenth place in the English Premier League, after 9 rounds,
marking the club’s worst start since the arrival of coach Jurgen Klopp in 2016.
