In the second round of the Champions League qualifying round, Liverpool hosted Bologna at home. With the advantage of strength and experience, The Reds easily won 2-0 overall.
As usual, Salah was the key factor in Liverpool's victory. In the first goal, the Egyptian star assisted Mac Allister to score. In the second goal, Salah himself put his name on the scoreboard, with a signature curling shot.
After the match, goalkeeper Alisson Becker praised Salah. He stressed that the 32-year-old striker did not need to work too much, but was effective, according to TNT Sports: "He is a player who helps us a lot. Sometimes it seems like he does not contribute anything to the game, but with one touch he puts the ball in the top corner. That is his great quality and strength.
We are lucky to have Salah, but we must also emphasise the effort of the whole team. There are many things to improve, but today we were good enough to win the match."
According to statistics, Mohamed Salah only made 1 defensive action and did not successfully dribble the ball during the match against Bologna. Obviously, age has made this striker no longer able to maintain the same passionate playing style as before. In return, Salah showed his excellent passing ability, with 3 dangerous passes.
With Salah playing as well as he is now, Liverpool know they need to keep their number 1 star. However, the Egyptian star's contract only runs until the end of this season and it is known that Salah is also attracting interest from many Arab clubs.
