Liverpool –
Sadio Mane is supposed to have prevented Mohamed Salah from scoring in Liverpool vs Chelsea match. It’s true?
Liverpool vs Chelsea at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, on Friday (3/5/2021) ended in defeat for the host. The Blues won 1-0 through Mason Mount’s goal.
Liverpool itself fought throughout the match. The front row, namely the Firmansah Trio bred by Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, had minimal goals.
The center of attention is on Mane, who is seen as unwilling to give Salah a goal. The moment happened at the beginning of the first half.
At that point, Mane could receive a cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold in the penalty area. He could have gone first, but Andreas Christensen seemed to be upset. If Mane falls, then Liverpool could be penalized. However, Mane continued to chase the ball.
Michael Owen found that moment quite strange, because in the game against Sheffield United, Mane tried it too. The former Liverpool striker also has a theory.
He claims that there is competition between Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. It is considered that Mane does not want to sanction Liverpool, because Salah will be the executor. For this reason, Mane prefers not to fall.
“I don’t think you don’t want to do it, but I don’t recommend you do it,” Owen said. Optus Sport.
“It was a nice touch, and he was probably thinking of having a chance at the end. But he did something similar a week ago (against Sheffield United).”
“I just wanted to know, and maybe a little sneaky thought in my head. Mo Salah is the penalty taker for this team, and if he (Mane) thinks he has a chance to score, he thinks it’s best to do it himself., because if it falls, then. Mo, who will score again, “
“These players have been staring at the Golden Boot for the past few seasons. It may be kind of a wild theory, but the competitive nature of him and Mo Salah, we see that they don’t intersect when one of them is in a much better position than the other one, “he said.
This season, Mane himself only scored 11 goals. While Salah has scored 24 goals. Their contribution so far has not been enough for the Reds to compete, as Liverpool have now slipped to seventh place in the Premier League standings.
“We see a bit of selfishness, a bit of disgruntled behavior. Mo Salah shook his head (when he was replaced). I just thought a couple of times, I saw Mane fall due to such an opportunity and (not) in two matches in a row. ? It just makes me think that, “Owen added.
