Salah: I didn t expect to stay in Liverpool, want to win the Golden Ball, but don t know what to do

May 17th Salah was interviewed by Sky Sports and talked about his historic season, contract renewal, Golden Globes and other topics.

When asked about the possibility of a renewal of Liverpool at the beginning of the season, Salah replied: "Based on the club's past situation, there is only about 10% chance. Because of the club's philosophy, I know how they handled the contracts of players over 30 in the past, and I didn't expect myself to stay. This is not a bad thing, we can see how they handled this situation in the past. The negotiations really started to speed up after six months, and things got better and better since January. We took some time, and I think the club is testing me to see if I can help! I didn't ask for more, just two years."

Looking forward to the next two years, Salah said: "We won the Premier League this year, and when I was in that game at Tottenham, I felt it I really hope to win the Champions League, I know that the Premier League is always important to the club, and it should be, but I also long to win the Champions League and the Premier League again. "

Previously, Liverpool was not optimistic about winning the Premier League, and Salah believed that this should not be the norm: "I think it is a problem for us to not have the expectation of winning the championship, and we need to change that because we have first-class players and strong fans' support. Liverpool's loss should be regarded as an accident, not a matter of course. Fans should not hear the words "go harder next season" again and again, and in the last game of the season, we will thank them with an important trophy, which is the best way."

Speaking of the Golden Globes Topic, Salah said: "It has been a big annoyance in the past, and some things are out of control, so you can only give up thinking about that aspect. When you go to work, you remind yourself what the goal is this season, which will motivate you to work harder. I really hope to win the Golden Ball one day, but if it doesn't happen, I don't know what to do. I believe I have a great opportunity this year, but I'll see what will happen."

Speaking of leading the Premier League scorer and assists this season, Salah said: "Now I'll be more involved in possession, which makes me feel confident. Even if you miss an opportunity, you can still get it again, and that's what the players need. I know I can create opportunities and win the Best Offensive Player Award in the Season (13 assists in 2021-22) I believed I was able to do this before, and now I have more opportunities to get the ball under my feet, and it is easier to achieve it. "

" Breaking the number of goals in the 38 rounds is important to me because I slowed down after we won the league championship. Diaz missed a great opportunity last week, and I thought, 'Oh, please! What else can I do! ' I really want to break this record, and I think I will do it."

For the future of Liverpool, Salah said: "The players are all newcomers, passionate, young and promising. They learn from us, and they also have the attitude of giving their all. We have a very good team that can win every trophy we want."
