Mo Salah focused on Egypt success at AFCON with Liverpool crisis behind him

Egypt’s coach Hossam Hassan announced on Sunday that Egypt captain Mohamed Salah has put his negative experiences at Liverpool behind him and is focused on achieving success with his country in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Hassan said ahead of Egypt’s opening Group B game against Zimbabwe in Agadir on Monday that his fiery outburst after being dropped by the Premier League champions has had no impact on his performance.

Salah’s morale in training is very high, as if he were just starting out with the national team, according to the coach.

It is probably Salah’s last chance, at 33, to bring Egypt’s elusive trophy home and add international honors to an impressive medal collection at club level.

“I think Salah will be one of the best players at the tournament, and he will continue to be a legend and a leader.”

We must remember that Salah must win the Africa Cup of Nations, Hassan continued, “I support him morally and technically.”

Liverpool struggles on the backburner.

Salah last started for Liverpool at the end of November when they lost 4-1 at home to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. He will now face him in Monday’s game.

After drawing with Leeds United on December 6, he lashed out at the club and Liverpool coach Arne Slot, saying he felt he had been made the victim of their subpar start to the season and that he might not have been at Anfield for a while.

Hassan claimed to have remained in touch with his captain throughout the controversy.

“Any player can have a difference of opinion with his coach at his club,” Mohamed Salah said in a statement that I don’t want to call a crisis.

Salah has not scored in a game since Liverpool won by 2-0 at Aston Villa at the start of November, despite having previously played for Egypt in a friendly against Uzbekistan last month.

Hassan told reporters that Salah had the same experience with him when he failed to score goals against Liverpool.

Then, thanks to the national team, he reclaimed his path to the right path, and as a result, he improved significantly. I think he and his teammates will win a strong tournament.
