The Ukraine international, who can operate as a left-back or as a midfielder, has said that Salah is very difficult to defend against and is very unpredictable.
When asked to name the toughest opponent he has faced, Zinchenko said: “Salah, Mohamed Salah.
“So sharp, fast, strong as well. He can go both sides, left right.
“You never expect what he is going to do.”
Salah is one of the best players on the planet and is truly world class.
We are not at all surprised to hear Zinchenko speak so highly of the Liverpool star.
Salah may be 31 now, but the Egyptian remains at the top of his game.
And there are no signs that the former Chelsea attacker is slowing down.
Salah has made 234 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The forward has scored 140 goals and given 61 assists in those games.
The Liverpool no. 11 did not have the best of campaigns last season, but he still ended up with 19 goals and 12 assists in 37 Premier League starts and eight goals and two assists in seven UEFA Champions League starts.
Salah has scored one goal and given two assists in three Premier League appearances for Liverpool this season.
