The Egyptian footballer engaged in a conversation with ESPN, expressing his admiration for Liverpool’s summer acquisition, Alexis Mac Allister, while humorously suggesting the need for more gym time. Additionally, he shared his profound respect for Lionel Messi of Inter Miami and reminisced about his encounter with former Argentine footballer Gabriel Batistuta.

Regarding Mac Allister’s performance this season, Salah praised his skills and work ethic, highlighting his professionalism in training and diet. However, Salah playfully remarked on Mac Allister’s gym attendance, suggesting he could benefit from more sessions.

When asked about his favorite Argentine player besides Mac Allister, Salah unequivocally named Lionel Messi, citing his unparalleled talent. He also mentioned his fondness for Gabriel Batistuta, whom he once met and received a signed jersey from during a visit to Argentina.

Since joining Liverpool from Brighton last summer, Mac Allister has progressively showcased his abilities under Jurgen Klopp’s management. Recently, the 25-year-old midfielder has shown remarkable improvement, crucial for Liverpool’s pursuit of success in the Premier League, Europa League, and Carabao Cup. Salah, a vital component of the team’s ambitions, is poised to contribute significantly to their endeavors.

Both Mac Allister and Salah are expected to play pivotal roles in Liverpool’s crucial away fixture against arch-rivals Manchester United in the Premier League this Sunday. A victory at Old Trafford would propel them to the top of the table as they approach the final stages of the season.
