A number of Reds fans have urged the Anfield club to cast on eye over Salah’s Pharaohs teammate.
A number of Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Mohamed Salah’s latest performance and goal for Egypt and, in the process, have given their thoughts on the teammate who provided the assist for the Reds and Pharaohs talisman.
The Africa Cup of Nations hosts overcame DR Congo in Cairo, running out 2-0 winners as national captain – and Aston Villa ace – Ahmed Elmohamady opened the scoring on 25 minutes and Salah doubled his country’s lead two minutes before half time.
DR Congo began brightly and struck Egypt’s woodwork on 11 minutes through Marcel Tisserand’s effort from six yards, but they fell behind when they failed to clear Salah’s cross and Elmohamady seized the opportunity to rifle home.
Florent Ibenge’s side hit the crossbar again in the 40th minute through Jonathan Bolingi’s header, but Salah put his nation out of sight three minutes later by picking up a through-ball, getting the better of the opposition defenders, and slotting an effort inside the near post.
Liverpool shared the Eurosport Twitter clip of Salah’s goal, including the build-up, on their official account, and Mahmoud Hassan – also known as Trezeguet – deserves a lot of credit for how he turned defence to attack, nutmegging one opponent and skipping over another, before slipping a wonderful through-ball to Salah.
Some Reds fans were impressed and suggested that Trezeguet – a 24-year-old midfielder on the books of Turkish club Kasımpasa – should certainly be the subject of some scouting from the Anfield setup:
