Mohamed Salah is determined to end his Liverpool career “in the right way”.
The Egyptian forward scored as the Reds beat rivals Everton 2-1 in the Merseyside derby on Sunday (19.04.26) and was glad to continue his superb record against the Toffees in his final experience of the fixture before he leaves Anfield at the end of the season.
Salah told Sky Sports: “It feels great, to be fair. The most important thing was to help the team to just settle down and keep more confidence, because we knew before the game it was going to be tricky, it was going to be a difficult game. I’m glad in the end we managed to win the game.”
The forward now only has five games left for Liverpool but isn’t thinking about the end of his time at the club just yet.
Salah said: “I wish I just keep scoring and help the team at least to achieve Champions League [qualification] this season. And hopefully I [say] farewell in the right way.”
Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk headed the winner for Liverpool in the 10th minute of injury time and paid tribute to Salah’s contributions to the team during his glittering career at the club.
The Dutch defender said: “There will be a lot of words coming out of my mouth over the next couple of weeks on him. But listen, he is so important for us, on and off the pitch.
“I would say, the appreciation sometimes comes a little bit when players are gone, but we appreciate him so much. He is an outstanding teammate to have, obviously we have been through everything together; highs, lows.
“He will still be important for the last five games that we have to play and then it will be emotional for him and his family, for sure. But for us as well, because he meant a lot to me, a lot to the team and to the fans of course. But first, we have still a job to do and he knows it – that’s the main focus.”
