Ex-Liverpool FC and England striker Emile Hesky has backed Mohammad Salah to continue being selfish in front of the goal in order to fuel his desire to top the goalscoring charts.
While speaking to Sky Sports, Hesky voiced his belief that the Reds’ attacker should not attempt to cub down his desire of scoring as many goals as possible for the Merseyside giants.
The former English international further added that it was because of this sort of selfishness that Salah had been on the higher end of the goalscoring charts in the Premier League ever since his move to Anfield from Serie A outfit AS Roma in 2017.
“I think we all know with Mo, he is always chasing that Golden Boot, he is always wanting to score.
“There are times as an unselfish striker where you’re looking at him and saying ‘why didn’t you pass that ball?’ But this is what you get from top goalscorers, from people that are going to score you 20-25 goals a season.
“They have this relentless drive where they want to take every opportunity, they want to score every chance. They want to take goals off you and you don’t want to take that relentless streak away from them because that’s what makes them.
“That’s what has made him into the winger and the goalscorer that he is. I think he has to keep going and doing what he’s doing.”
The Egyptian international Salah had courted quite a fair bit of criticism from many among the footballing fraternity after the player seemed to deny new club teammate Diogo Jota a clear opportunity to score his first goal for the Reds in the league clash against Arsenal on Monday.
