Liverpool legend Dirk Kuyt says the partnership with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino helps Salah to be successful in the club.
“The partnership between [Sadio] Mane, [Roberto] Firmino and Mo makes the difference." Kuyt told official
website of the club (
via Goal).
“Mo is very happy with Firmino, he is the type of striker who doesn’t live by goals – he lives by playing football, winning games and winning together. That has made it a pleasure for Mo to play with these kinds of players, who are not selfish and who know how to bring Salah into positions to score.
“It’s all because of that connection, especially with the players up front who know what to do and know in which kinds of positions they need to bring Salah. He made a great goal and also a good penalty.”
Kuyt who was part of Liverpool squad in 6 seasons, was once close to EPL title, when Reds finished the league with 4 points difference from Manchester United in 2008/09 season.
Now Kuyt believes says fans believe on title chances of the club.
“When I arrived at Liverpool there was a hope to win the league. Now that hope is changing and people start to believe Liverpool can win the league.
“That’s what football is all about: that you believe in the success you can have with your team. The supporters are starting to believe it’s possible to win the league again. It’s a long way but that’s the first step. You have to believe you can do it.
“With Feyenoord we had the same situation, a little bit shorter but for 18 years we didn’t win the league title. From the first day we started the competition we believed in winning the league and that’s what I felt on Wednesday – that people are not hoping for success but believing in success for Liverpool. That’s a massive step forward.”
