With the goals of Jota and Fabinho, the Red Army Liverpool defeated Watford 2-0 and won 10 consecutive Premier League victories. Although Manchester City also won 2-0 afterwards and Liverpool’s top experience card expired in just 40 minutes, the good play of the Premier League’s double dragons has just begun. And there is even more good news for Liverpool fans, that is, their top scorer Salah is about to renew his contract.
In this game, Salah, who had just finished his World Cup preliminaries, still appeared in the starting lineup, while Mane, who kicked his Egypt out of the World Cup, was on standby. After the start of the game, Salah was still very active, but he was obviously a little powerless. Several breakthroughs were forced to a dead end by his opponent. Before being replaced by Mane in the 69th minute, Salah missed all 3 shots, and only succeeded in 4 breakthroughs, but lost the ball 5 times, and only got a barely passing score of 6.1 points after the game. Even so, tens of thousands of fans at Anfield gave him an encouraging applause, making the Egyptians feel their love.
After the game, the British “Mirror” exclusively broke the news that Salah is about to renew his contract. According to them, Salah will sign a 3+1 contract with Liverpool. This means that the 29-year-old Salah will keep the best stages of his career at Anfield. However, the article did not reveal the salary of Salah’s new contract.
Prior to this, although Salah had a positive attitude towards renewing his contract, he proposed a weekly salary of 500,000 pounds, which is the same as Ronaldo’s, which made Liverpool a bit difficult to accept. After all, they have always been known for their low-wage and high-bonus model. Player earnings are directly linked to performance. In this case, although Salah only has a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, but based on his performance and appearance rate, the actual income of salary + bonus will not be higher than that of top-paid Premier League players such as De Gea and De Bruyne. How much. However, if Liverpool agree to give him a weekly salary of 500,000 pounds, it means that the team’s original relatively healthy salary structure will be completely broken, Liverpool’s dressing room will be chaotic, and it may even become the next Manchester United.
In fact, Liverpool are also full of sincerity in renewing the contract. They once made an offer of 400,000 pounds per week, but Salah refused. Negotiations between the two sides have stalled. However, after suffering a double blow from his teammate Mane in the African Cup and the World Preliminaries, Salah, who returned to Liverpool, felt the support of the club and the fans for him. Thanks to his gratitude, his attitude changed greatly, which led to a breakthrough in the renewal of the contract between the two parties. . It sounds like a moving story. There is such magic at Anfield. However, love alone cannot convince Salah to stay.
After joining Liverpool in the summer of 2017, Salah’s performance has been very stable. For nearly 5 seasons, he has played 240 games for Liverpool, scoring 153 goals and sending 57 assists, leading the team to the Champions League and the Premier League. and League Cup, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup. Before that, he had only 77 goals and 53 assists for 5 teams.
To have such achievements at Liverpool, on the one hand, Salah’s excellent personal ability, but the most important reason is that Klopp’s tactical system gave him the space to fully display his attacking talents. For Salah, Klopp even made tactical sacrifices for the former team’s thigh, Mane, which once caused dissatisfaction with the latter. It can be said that without Klopp, Salah would not be where he is today. After all, Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it.
For this, Salah is probably also aware of it. The experience of the previous team’s attack core Coutinho after leaving is also the best lesson. Therefore, instead of going to the giants to feel the cruelty of “entering deep into the sea”, it is better to stay at Anfield to feel the applause and cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, and feel the thrill of scoring goals. This may be the most important reason why Salah chose to renew his contract.
