Salah speaks about fighting for the golden ball! 28+18 has broken the record with a record-breaking data, and the inside story of renewal is revealed in person

Recently, Salah revealed to the media that his outstanding performance at Liverpool has made him a strong contender for the Golden Ball of the Year. The Egyptian striker just helped Liverpool win the second Premier League title in five years and is currently the top favorite for the Premier League best player in 2024-25.

Salah contributed 28 goals and 18 assists this season, setting a new single-season record for the Premier League 38 rounds with 46 direct participation goals. He is only one time away from the 47 record-breaking record held by Andy Cole (1993-94) and Alan Shearer (1994-95). Currently, he leads the Premier League scorer list and assist list at the same time, and is expected to become the first player to win these two statistics twice (previously reached in the 2021-22 season).

When talking about the Golden Balls goal, Salah: "I used to care a lot. But later I realized that some things cannot be forced. I will use this goal to motivate myself to work harder during training. I still long to win the award, but if it cannot be achieved, I can only accept it. This year may be a good opportunity. "

In April this year, the 32-year-old star renewed his contract with Liverpool for two years, ending the rumors of leaving the team that lasted for several months. He admitted that he believed that the probability of renewal at the beginning of the season was only 10%: "Based on the club's contract renewal tradition for players over 30, I was ready to leave the team. But the negotiations started to go smoothly since January, and the whole process was like the club testing my ability to continue to perform. "

Currently, Salah, who currently holds two Premier League trophys and one Champions League trophy (2018-19 season), still longs for more honors: "I look forward to winning the Champions League again. Although Premier League championships are crucial to the club, I hope to win both championships at the same time. "
