More to come from Liverpool and Salah?
Lock added that Salah’s decision showed that the Egyptian believes that the club can compete for more trophies as they approach the Premier League title this season with a 10 -point advantage in the upper part of the classification.
“He has always judged his leg as a player, but I also see him as a human being and is humble, he works hard and puts so much effort to become the player who is. He follows that effort every day,” Slot said.
“Salah can score goals if it is not in the best half hour or 15 minutes, and that is why it is mentally so strong. It has to be mentally strong and separate from the other things, that is probably what stands out for me.
“What I could tell him is that it is not only a good season now, we want more next season and Mo is convinced that we can do it. So that is positive for us.”
