"I'm just enjoying football" 😍 | Salah talks Liverpool future, Arne Slot & more!

Mo such a big weekend this weekend coming up are you are you are you mad for it are you ready for it yeah I'm excited for it um play Manch United now usually we don't play that them that early but yeah it's uh it's a it's a big game coming and uh we already what about the Oasis ticket sales the day before on Saturday yeah everybody's excited for that as well uh I think it was big news today so yeah a lot of people happy about it is it kind of a music kind of vibe that you like yeah sometimes sometime but I also like different music but I like it as well so what is it then going back to the game on Sunday with Manchester United that brings the best out of you because you set records you break records in and around every time you play them I I say I just focus as it's a big game and I always want to help the team to win the game uh that's the most important thing for me I don't go to the game and just keep thinking about the record I I done already my work before the game and just go to the game and enjoy when you win the game and you score goals that's um you feel you done your job it does seem to bring the best out of you though this fixture when it comes on uh I'm trying my best uh to to give everything for the club and for the team uh sometime you have luck sometime not but um yeah I'm just enjoying the football and what is the football like now no yeah you mean big change yeah big change we've been with the Yan for seven eight years and yeah now the new manager uh different things so yeah we we enjoy I enjoyed it before and I'm enjoying it now so yeah what are the things that are different that stand out the most to you I think we play kind of different football now the manager now want to control the ball all time with sometime we just go coun press and just try to attack them all the time in their half um but here we need to control the game sometime we slow the game down but it's it's part of the plan and yeah that's a big difference I was talking to Cody gakpo just a couple of weeks ago and we talked about Comfort zones and being out of a comfort zone at the moment because I guess you were so used to how things were before to what they're like now yeah yeah that's true because we've been together for seven years so you kind of expect all the reaction also around football or of the football or of the field so you most of the time you expect things but U it was I think is necessary for us to to also have um um I don't want to say like it was necessary but Mander decid to leave and the new manager comes and we players all of them we are excited and we try to give everything and as you said it's uh I think it's necessary to go out of your comfort zone so yeah we try to to play now and give our best to the new manager as well are you the type of player type of person perhaps do you Embrace change yeah of course I think it's all my life been like this uh even as a person I feel like when I look back I changed a lot a lot from the way I I came to Europe and the way I think now is complete completely different so every year um I think every every few months I I sit alone and just try to think what change I can do in my life and what thing I can try to improve so I always out of my comfort zone and just try to to I like to to change a lot it's it's makes you step out of your comfort zone which is place that's scary for a lot of people cuz unknown is always scary for the people but um with the time when you keep practicing it is become part of you I spoke to to Jurgen before the League Cup Final and one of the things I asked him was what was the best thing that he'd won during his time at Liverpool and he said that his favorite thing was winning the Premier League what would be your favorite thing that you've won winning the Champions League I know that we won the Premier League when it was the lockdown andic pandemic so it was quite tricky for us to celebrate winning champions league is like because when I was young I was watching champions league and I was like I wish one day to play in that competition and especially the year before I fell in my shoulder and we lost it so that was the Real Madrid game yeah it was Madrid game so just to come back here after and win it is is incredible as players how difficult is it to win something yeah it's very difficult it's very difficult takes a lot of sacrifice and uh also like mentally you always need when you win it's it takes from you mentally so you need to always to find something to push you forward and something to make you on fire every day to go to the work and really like to work so but it's it's quite tough what has been the one significant change that has helped you the most I know you like your recovery for a start yeah does that kind of start on the full-time whistle does that change for example the recovery no I think I think the way I dedicate myself for football and the way really I football basically is all my life P around football not like football part of my time now football football is there and my life around footb around the football so that's why I do everything related to football I watch the games when I go home I do recovery when I go home I do gym when I I go home as well I do gym here so everything about football I enjoy my life a lot but this is the most important thing so everything I do through has to be related to F that's so much like do you ever sleep then do you ever get time to sleep I sometimes what's your average sleep pattern uh between seven and8 I don't like to sleep more than that I just feel like I can sleep more than that but uh 7 and a half is perfect for me that's what I feel do you ever actually switch off for you do you find something else to occupy your mind with to take you away from the football yeah I like um I like reading a lot like to read about psychology as well I I watch a lot of uh videos just to like uh self self improvement or self-help type yeah so everything can change you or improve you as a human I like to watch it I like to watch a lot about the planets and and that's that area as well because it's really interesting to me um but with the family they they call me crazy a little bit because I always like I really into my work when I do something I just I just love to do it and I don't feel like I'm really putting crazy effort on it because it's part of me I just enjoy it is it true you play golf have you taken up golf yeah I did I did play golf you did I enjoyed it a lot yeah I used to I in the last holiday I played golf as well how much okay holiday because I I'm not that good I'm not that good you having lessons yeah having L cuz I'm trying to work out I've spoken to a few players now did you have like a short period of time off yeah we had three weeks had four weeks yeah four weeks how much golf did you fit in no I played two three times I don't think I'm not a doctor but everybody here is telling me is not really good for the back so I have to be careful but I just played last two years I was playing more because it's like take your mind away from football but it's also something I enjoyed it so I know there were these contract discussions and you're coming to the end of that as a player how do you deal with that um I I don't think much to be fair more I think with a time you get more wisdom I would say so it's I think uh I just came before the season I was like okay I have one year left so just let's enjoy it don't think about the contract now don't think about anything and they really just enjoy I don't I don't want to think about next year I don't want to think about the future I just okay let's let's enjoy the loss here and we see you're just thinking about how you can be at your best yeah at all every week that's the most that's the most important thing just take one day in a time and just be grateful to be here and that's it good stuff good luck this weekend thank you
