Scottish player Steve Nicol, the former Liverpool defender, criticized Mohamed Salah, the team’s current star, and described him as a “provocateur” who drives him “crazy” because of the way he plays.
Salah scored his 22nd goal in Liverpool’s victory over Brighton on Sunday, after making 12 shots, the most for a Liverpool player in the history of the competition.
Nicol, who played for Liverpool between 1981 and 1994, said in his statements to ESPN published on Monday: Salah provokes me indescribably. I have never seen a good player commit this many mistakes. He loses his ball very easily.
The winner of ten championships with Liverpool, including 4 league titles and a European championship, followed: There was an opportunity for Salah to pass to his colleague Elliott appropriately in the Brighton match, but he passed it the wrong way and Liverpool lost possession, and this sums up the way Al-Masry played.
He continued: He is the one who shoots the most and the player who always scores the winning goal, but I can bet that he is the player who will lose the ball more than any other player. This makes me crazy.
Salah lost the ball 25 times in the Brighton match, 11 times more than any other Liverpool player, according to the Sofa Score website.
