Wrongly Opening Statement about the Issue of Jota Becomes Threat to the Trio Firmansah

DBasia.news – Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah finally opened his voice regarding the rising player Diogo Jota. According to him, Jota is not a threat to the Firmansah trio (Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, and Mohamed Salah).

Liverpool poured 41 million poiunds to get Diogo Jota from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Reds prepare Jota as a coating for Mane, Salah, and Firmino.

The Portuguese player did not take long to show off. From the first 12 appearances, Jota packed eight goals.

This slick appearance made Jurgen Klopp give more confidence to Jota. Jota was placed in Firmino’s position. Meanwhile, when Salah was absent due to being positive for the corona virus, Jota played as the right wing.

The presence of Diogo Jota did not make Mo Salah feel threatened. Salah is actually as happy as there are other players who can be the source of goals.

“We feel happy for him. As teammates, we try to encourage each other every day in training. So, when you see someone score goals, you also feel happy for him for helping,” said Salah as reported by the Liverpool Echo.

“Hopefully it will continue to happen. Scoring a few goals is a good way for him to start here. It will add confidence.”

“Having someone else who can score goals is a great option for us. Now, with Jota, we can play four together or like currently playing with three forwards,” added Salah.

Next, Liverpool will host Atalanta on matchday 4 of Group D of the 2020-2021 Champions League, at the Stadio Anfield, Thursday (26/11). Currently, the Reds are at the top of the standings with a perfect achievement from three matches.
