Mo Salah Sees Similarities Between Current Liverpool Team and 2019/20 Premier League Winners

After a comeback victory against Crystal Palace, Mo Salah spoke about the similarities he sees between the current Liverpool team and the Premier League-winning side of 2019/20.

Contending for the Premier League Title

With Manchester City struggling and Liverpool consistently winning, the Reds are in contention for the Premier League title this season.

Mentality and Fighting Spirit

Jurgen Klopp’s team has shown great resilience by picking up 18 points when coming back from losing positions in the Premier League this season. Salah believes this mentality is crucial for winning the league and sees a similarity between this season and the successful 2019 Liverpool side.

Salah’s Thoughts on the Team

Speaking to TNT Sports, Salah said, “I see the mentality, like we just keep fighting until the end and we did that this game and last game and the game before. So, there’s something we can take from that. Of course, we have a new team now, with six or seven new players in the starting lineup, and we just need to give them our advice.”

Fighting Spirit in Liverpool

According to Opta, three of the last four substitutes to score a 90th-minute winning goal in the Premier League have done so for Liverpool. This statistic further highlights the team’s fighting spirit.

Potential for Something Special

Salah also acknowledged the achievements of other players under Pep Guardiola but believes that Liverpool can do something special this year. He expressed confidence in the team’s abilities.

Salah’s Impact and Milestone

Salah played a key role in securing the victory against Crystal Palace, scoring the equalizer in the 76th minute. This goal marked his 200th goal for Liverpool, making him the fifth player in the club’s history to reach this milestone.

When asked about his feelings after the game, Salah said, “I think the most important thing is we won the game; it was really tough today. When we win the game and I score goals, it’s a great feeling, but yeah, I’m happy for the record, but I’m also happy for the team to win the game.”
