Salah: An Exceptional Player, and It Was a Very Important Match
Arne Slot, the Liverpool coach, appeared in a press conference following the 1-0 victory over Sunderland in the 26th round of the English Premier League, in the match held at the Stadium of Light.
The coach said, "It was a very important match. I think we put in a great effort, just two days after resting. Then we played a tough away game. We showed once again how skilled we are at ball possession. We created many chances today."
He added, "The fighting spirit we showed throughout the match was fantastic, and that's why we leave this stadium with a 1-0 victory. In the second half, we had many good moments and many instances where our exceptional players found promising positions. The overall performance in terms of effort was very good."
Regarding Mohamed Salah equaling Steven Gerrard's record of 92 assists in the Premier League with the Reds: "He has many records with this club, but for this record to be added to a great player like him, both have been exceptional players for this club. Unfortunately for Steven, I expect Mohamed Salah to surpass him. I don't expect it, but I hope he surpasses him."
Regarding Wataru Endo's injury, "We don't expect the results to be positive. As I said, we have to wait and see. We anticipate his absence for a long period. This is not the first time we've dealt with the absence of our right-back. We've accepted this every time. We need to find solutions to continue performing well."
