Former England international Rio Ferdinand recently gave his thoughts on Liverpool star Salah on his podcast Vibe with Five. He stated that Salah hasn't been respected enough over time, despite the fact that he has always been a world class player and there is no doubt about that.
Ferdinand noted that while Salah's performances may have dipped this season, he was definitely a world-class caliber player during his glory days at Liverpool. He also referred to the scenario in the 2018 Champions League final, when Salah went off early due to an injury, resulting in Liverpool losing an important point of attack and ultimately losing to Real Madrid. He believes that the injury changed the course of the game and illustrated Salah's importance in the team.
Although Salah has perhaps not performed as well as he has this season, Ferdinand's comments highlight the recognition and support for the Egyptian star. He called for greater respect for Salah, recognizing his contribution and value as a player rather than overly criticizing his performances. This support not only recognizes Salah personally, but also the importance and influence of Liverpool FC.
