Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is earning praise from all corners – and Joe Cole has now compared the Anfield hero to Ronaldinho.
The Reds hammered Watford 5-0 at the weekend with Roberto Firmino grabbing a hat-trick.
Sadio Mane even scored his 100th Premier League goal, but both players were still outdone by Salah.
Just two weeks after his stunning solo goal against Manchester City, Salah was at it again for Liverpool.
The Egyptian pulled off another outstanding solo goal, leaving Watford players on the ground as he danced past them to score.
There aren’t many players in the world better than Salah right now. You could seriously argue nobody is better than the £200,000-a-week star.
Cole compares Liverpool star Salah to Ronaldinho
The plaudits have been coming in from players, pundits and fans, with Salah’s Liverpool form simply stunning many.
BT Sport pundit Joe Cole has now offered his view (16/10, 2:22pm) suggesting that you don’t really appreciate how good Salah is until you see all his work off the ball.
Cole noted that Salah’s strength is truly outstanding, even likening him to Ronaldinho.
Cole believes both of them are ‘freakishly’ strong, with Salah no doubt glad to hear such a big comparison.
“You don’t really appreciate him until you see all the little stuff he does off the ball,” said Cole. “Even for Firmino’s goal, when Danny Rose, who’s a strong boy, tried (to get the ball). He’s so strong as well, Salah. Technically, he’s unbelievable, he’s so strong. He reminds me a little bit of how Ronaldinho was. He was freakishly strong as well, and Salah is,” he added.
