Liverpool's Arne Slot praises Mohamed Salah's professionalism, while singling out Joe Gomez for his outstanding performance in their 3-0 win against Marseille.
Slot highlighted how professional Salah is, considering he returned from the Africa Cup of Nations with a different team and still managed to play 90 minutes without any issues. The Liverpool coach noted that even though Salah missed a gilt-edged chance late on, it didn't affect his team's performance as they scored three goals in total.
Slot also expressed his admiration for Gomez, who has struggled with injuries in the past. However, last night was a different story as he put in an outstanding performance and played a crucial role in securing the win. Slot acknowledged that Gomez has been overlooked by him in the past due to injury issues, but he is pleased to see him back to his best.
The Liverpool head coach noted that playing Marseille can be challenging due to their passionate fans and skilled players. However, he praised his team's preparation and strategy, which allowed them to dominate possession without finding the right player to create a clear scoring opportunity.
Slot also commended Dominik Szoboszlai for scoring the opening goal with a well-placed free-kick that found its way under the Marseille wall. The coach explained that Szoboszlai had done his homework and identified an opportunity to hit the ball low, which ultimately proved successful.
The win marked Liverpool's ninth in 11 European away fixtures, leaving them well-positioned to avoid the playoffs next month. With this victory, Slot and his team have demonstrated their resilience and ability to adapt to different situations, making them a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League.
