Salah is a beast, didn't score against Southampton, but shone again at Anfield

Liverpool's last match before the World Cup turned out to be even better than they expected, because in general terms, the group that took the field and those who came on as substitutes did an excellent job to get that 3-1 victory, highlighting during the 90 minutes of play an offensive sector that was insistent at all times, with Mohamed Salah being a complete nightmare for Southampton's defenders.

The interventions of the Egyptian international footballer never gave respite to the rival defenders who as best they could stopped almost all his approaches to goal, many of them resorting to using the last resort which is the foul to cut off his advances, generating much controversy around a possible penalty that Armel Bella-Kotchap committed inside the area after a strong struggle that ended with Salah on the ground without the opportunity to make his shot properly.

Similarly, in one of the attacking moves organised by the Egyptian, Saints' French defender Romain Perraud had to use both hands and feet to try to contain an attacker who has the habit of throwing himself to the ground as soon as he feels contact from an opponent, a situation which obviously complicates the work of the defensive block, who have the task of ensuring that neither ball nor player gets past them in any play.

Although Salah was not able to get on the scoreboard with an assist or score as in the last four games, the Liverpool attacking element did serve to facilitate the work of his attack by pulling a double mark when he had the ball on his boots, making his performance a more physical one where generating space to filter the ball was part of his task, having throughout the 90 minutes only a couple of good chances in front of goal that he could not solve in the best way.

<strong>Salah continues to prove he is the best</strong>

It seems that the "Pharaoh" has awakened part of that great footballing level that he displayed so naturally a few months ago, seeing once again on the pitch a lethal player that everyone should be wary of as he has such a superior vision that at any minute of the game he can make the difference and win games, feeling even more supported now after Darwin Núñez and Roberto Firmino showed that they are important pieces to consider in attack.
