Jose Mourinho Unveils Reasons Mo Salah Rarely Played at Chelsea

DBasia.news –  A dowry of 42 million euros were issued by Liverpool to bring Mohamed Salah from AS Roma in the 2017-18 season. At the beginning of his arrival, Mo Salah could doubtfully give an instant impact to Liverpool.

But what happened was the opposite, Salah managed to silence all doubts and immediately became an irreplaceable figure on the front lines of the team. The achievement of 44 goals and 16 assists that he inscribed successfully led the Reds to end the season in the fourth position while driving to the final of the Champions League – although they had to admit the superiority of the defending champion, Real Madrid with a score of 3-1.

Now in the 2018/19 season, Salah is still relied on by Jurgen Klopp and has collected 20 goals and eight assists. Liverpool are also in second place while at the same time still participating in the Champions League competition.

Nevertheless, the public still has not forgotten the difficult times experienced by Salah when he was still strengthening Chelsea in the 2013/14 season until 2014/15. He was not the main choice of Jose Mourinho and finally had to be willing to be loaned to Fiorentina and AS Roma.

The public was curious about what made the Portuguese manager choose not to play Salah and even lend it to other clubs. After a long silence, Mourinho finally opened his voice and explained what made the 26-year-old player not included in the Blues game scheme.

“Mohamed Salah bought Chelsea from FC Basel. At that time he was a player who was very young, lonely, naive and physically fragile,” Mourinho said as quoted by the Evening Standard.

Although admit that Salah was not included in the scheme of his team’s game, Mourinho is now amazed by the development shown by the player born in Nagrig, Egypt.

“Salah decided to go through a loan period with AS Roma and Fiorentina, then return to his fate in England. Now the adaptation process is also going well. “He is worthy of trying out Europe’s difficult competition and has better understood the rhythm of the game and is stronger physically and at the same time has high self-confidence,” he concluded
