Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher commented on the decision of the Merseyside club's star striker, Mohamed Salah, to leave the team at the end of the season, comparing him to the most effective foreign striker in football history. Carragher believes the Egyptian's departure will not only end a crucial period for Liverpool but will also create a significant gap in the achievements of all English football.
"Saloh's achievements in English football are effective and stable at the level of Thierry Henry. Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard, Gianfranco Zola, or Dennis Bergkamp are also excellent players, but none of them have performed as well every season as the Egyptian winger. In the Premier League's symbolic team, Salah, along with Henri and Ronaldo, will be among the top three strongest strikers," Carragher told The Telegraph.
The former defender noted that under Jürgen Klopp, Salah was a symbol of achievements in the Premier League and the Champions League. Thanks to the charismatic and strategic leadership of the club and the coach, Liverpool has become a team ready to win every tournament.
According to Carragher, Salah's goal-scoring ability and speed are one of his main advantages, but the most important aspect is that he is always ready to take the field. In nine seasons, Salah has appeared in 435 matches, which averages more than 48 matches per year. This indicator shows the ability to maintain a high level of physical and psychological pressure on the field and continue one's work.
Carragher also noted: "What amazes me most in football is the desire of star players of this level not to miss a single game." Mohamed Salah's departure will be associated with deep emotions and heavy losses for Liverpool and Premier League fans.
