Famous star: It’s not that Salah has a problem with his condition, Liverpool has changed their style of play and is in the running-in period

November 22 News Recently, Liverpool star John Barnes talked about the outside world’s concerns about Salah’s condition. Salah has made 16 appearances so far this season, contributing 5 goals and 3 assists.

Barnes said: "This is the result of a combination of factors. This is not necessarily a problem of Salah's status, but the way we play is different."

"Think about the way Liverpool played before, which was to let Alexander-Arnold or other teammates create opportunities for Salah. But now, with players like Wirtz, Ekitic and Isaac, our way of playing is different. Once we find the right rhythm, everything will be fine. We are now It's just going through some running-in problems, and Salah happens to be 33 years old. People connect the two things and blame the problem on age. "

"The whole team needs to adapt to the new style of play, not just to attack around Salah. Salah will still be very threatening, but he will not receive the ball as often as before. He will not receive the ball as quickly, so we have a lot of players who are good at dribbling. The pace of the game will not be as fast as it was in the past, and Salah will no longer be able to use his speed to receive the ball and make one-on-one breakthroughs. "

"The other teams' tactics have changed against us. Their defensive formations have caused more problems for us. So this is not necessarily related to Salah's new players, our own tactical adjustments, and the opponent's tactical changes. I have no concerns about Liverpool's long-term success. . But obviously, it will take time for us to get back to the peak of the past three or four years."

Regarding Salah, "I still think he is one of the best 11 people, but I still think he is one of the best 11 people now. The question now is how to better integrate into the team, which is obviously different from what they did in the past five or six years."source:ty so 7m cn
