Liverpool footballers gave their fans a memorable evening in the rematch with Sparta Prague. After a 5-1 away win, the Reds beat their rivals even more convincingly at home – 6-1, scoring as many as four goals in less than 15 minutes of the game, which happened for the first time since Chelsea against Luxembourg’s Jeunesse Hautcharage in 1971.Klopp’s players excelled, and Mohamed Salah deserved special attention, becoming the first player in Liverpool’s history to score 20 or more goals in seven consecutive seasons. Considering the tradition of this club and all the names that have played in its attack during its 132 years of existence (the club’s birthday is June 3), the Egyptian’s feat deserves every praise.The most effective Salah was in the first season after arriving from Roma (2017/2018), when he hit the net 44 times. In the next one, he did it with 27, then 23, 31, 31, 30 and is currently at 20. Given that there is still time to play before the end of the Premier League and Europa League, as well as Liverpool waiting for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday with Manchester United, it is clear that the experienced striker will further improve his performance this season, but what Reds fans are particularly pleased about after last night’s game is the indication that Mohamed Salah is fully fit for Sunday’s big derby with United.##NAJAVA_MECA_7959129##With the recent triumph in the League Cup, Liverpool regained the status of the most trophy-winning English club, overtaking Manchester United (68 vs 67), but at Anfield they now want to move further away from their traditionally biggest rival. And, with Salah in the team, it will be much easier to eliminate the main competitor on the way to the cup, and the optimism was further strengthened after the 31-year-old from Nagrig played a full match for the first time in two months.”It wasn’t the plan for him to play the full 90 minutes. We wanted to play him when Mateusz (Musialovski) came in, but Bobby Clarke complained of injury, and Mo is experienced enough to know how to keep his strength even when he’s in the game. I told him not to play defense anymore, I’ve never said that to a player before,” explained Klopp.The German is not surprised by Salah’s goals. Furthermore, he thought he had reached 20 this season even before last night’s game.”For these seven years of cooperation, consistency has never been a problem for Mohamed Salah. Mo just gives, gives and gives. His desire is indestructible, the quality is there, and he does not lack motivation. I am less surprised than some others, I even thought that has already reached 20 goals, but he had an injury problem for a while, otherwise he would have achieved it in January or February. Certainly, it is great that we can count on him again,” Klopp points out.🗣️ “He is ready for Sunday!”😍 Jurgen Klopp confirms that Mohamed Salah is raring to go for their clash with Man Utd📺 https://t.co/TPibY3Sw53#liverpool | #facup pic.twitter.com/3XzWHuJrgJ— Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) March 15, 2024 Salah played the entire match against the Czech side, but some other players were spared second-half effort to be rested for the FA Cup final.”We are all aware that we still have a lot of games until the end of the season. That’s why we made three changes at halftime. Gomez, Nunez and Endo came out as a precaution, none of them really had to be replaced, but we also had to think about the next game. It was a good game, fun for our fans. I’m glad they didn’t get upset because it wasn’t as tense as it could have been. I’m sure everyone went home happy this time. It’s nice when that’s the case, but it’s clear that it won’t always be possible to be without tension. We have a very different game waiting for us on Sunday, we have three days to prepare for it as best as possible,” Liverpool’s strategist is clear.Given that Klopp will leave Anfield after the season ends, many believe that this will also lead to Salah’s departure. The Egyptian is entering the last year of his contract, and considering the interest of Saudi Al Ittihad, who offered around 200,000,000 euros for the transfer last summer, it will not be easy to resist if a new offer arrives. Although Salah said that Klopp’s decision to leave will not affect his choice whether he will play in the red jersey for a while or if he will also pack his bags, it seems that the Egyptian is also close to the exit door.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Meanwhile, as he ponders his future, the striker will try to help Liverpool claim another title in the Premier League and on the international stage as well as the Reds are the first favorite to win the Europa League.According to the coach of Sparta, Brian Priske, that’s how it will be.”Huge respect for Liverpool and how they played this two-leg against us. The difference between Sparta and Liverpool is huge, really a completely different level. We’ve never met anything like that. Liverpool are a Champions League team and should be playing in the Champions League “, the Dane believes.It will be like that again from next season. It remains to be seen if the Reds will return to the elite as champions of England or if that honor will go to the players of Arsenal or Manchester City.
