Mohamed Salah threatens Tottenham Hotspur’s goal

DBasia.news – Tottenham Hotspur will host Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sunday (19/12) at 23.30 WIB, on week 18 of the Premier League. It will be Tottenham’s first game after the previous three games were postponed due to the corona virus outbreak in the club’s squad.

Liverpool are now a team like the previous two seasons when they won the Premier League title. Their playing momentum was maintained even though they had lost to West Ham United. Their stellar performance also improved.

Especially Mohamed Salah who has scored 22 goals and provided nine assists from 23 matches in all competitions this season. The Egyptian star’s record is also good against Tottenham.

According to Opta Mo Salah already has 24 direct involvements in Liverpool’s goals this season in the Premier League (15 goals and nine assists). Only Alan Shearer in the 1994-1995 season scored more before Christmas in a single season.

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is aware of the threat. Conte sees Salah as one of the best players in the world today and he has seen that quality when Salah played in Serie A (with Roma and Fiorentina).

“I think he (Mo Salah) is one of the best players in the world. During the game, we have seen him score goals or make assists,” Conte said as quoted by FourFourTwo.

“He’s a very decisive player. During the game, every time he has the ball, he is dangerous. He improved a lot, I remember him when he played in Italy.”

“Now he’s improving in an incredible way. Now I think he is one of the best players in the world and in every game he is decisive.”

Conte hopes that Tottenham can create problems for Liverpool while insisting that his team is ready to suffer in the match.

“Liverpool are one of the best teams in Europe and also in the world for what they do and for what Jurgen has created in these years,” Conte added.

“They are doing well. They really work hard. A trong team. Great to watch. It’s nice to watch Liverpool’s game. They play the way they play, the enthusiasm and passion they give in every game.”

“We have to be ready and we know that this game is not simple. We will face difficulties but we have to know that during the game there are times we have to be ready to suffer.”
