Liverpool head coach Arne Slots insists that the role of a goal scorer must not rely solely on Mohamed Salah. While the players must also give credit to their teammates who have made good progress. They are like a team that relies on water and a boat, and a tiger relies on forest. When someone is injured or banned. They can replace each other.
Slots made their official debut as the Reds beat Ipswich 2-0 at Portman Road. With Salah making his 350th appearance for the team, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist. UFABET
Therefore, there are questions as to whether the 32-year-old will still be the main goal scorer. The 45-year-old coach emphasized that in his era. He will not push the burden onto anyone.
“I don’t believe one player can do much. I believe in the team more than the individual.” the Dutch coach told Football on TNT Sports.
“He can score goals because he makes good runs, he makes good assists. So I think Mo needs to rely on the team. But he can also create chances himself. Players like this can determine the results of the match.”
In addition, he also praised the benefits of striker Diogo Jota, both in his ability to run to find space and hold the ball while waiting for a beautiful chance to regain his composure.
“We know Jota’s importance, but it’s normal that if you’re a Liverpool player, you’re a very good player.”
“As you can see, the English Premier League is very difficult, so it also depends on good individual performance. If the team plays well to win.”
Slot is the second Liverpool manager in the Premier League era to win his first game in charge, after Gerard Houllier (with Roy Evans) in 1998.
