Mohamed Salah’s outstanding performance in Egypt’s 3-1 World Cup victory over New Zealand has reportedly earned glowing praise from Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
After watching the Egyptian captain inspire his country to a historic victory, Gerrard is said to have reflected on just how much Liverpool miss one of the greatest players ever to wear the famous red shirt.
The reported comments capture exactly how many Liverpool supporters have been feeling while watching Salah continue to shine on the international stage.
“I Already Miss Him in a Liverpool Shirt”
According to the reported remarks, Gerrard admitted that watching Salah at the World Cup has reminded him just how special the forward remains.
He reportedly said:
“Already I’m starting to miss him in a Liverpool Red. Watching Mo Salah play football is one of the things I enjoy most.”
For Liverpool supporters, that sentiment will resonate deeply.
Salah spent years carrying Liverpool’s attack, producing extraordinary numbers while repeatedly delivering in the biggest moments.
Even now, seeing him perform at the highest level inevitably brings back memories of his remarkable Anfield career.
More Than Just a Goalscorer
Gerrard’s reported comments also highlighted something many supporters have long recognised.
Salah was never simply another player in the team.
He was often the driving force behind it.
As the former Liverpool captain reportedly put it, Salah was “the main character” and the player who kept the team moving forward.
That influence extended far beyond goals.
His movement.
His link-up play.
His leadership through performance.
All helped elevate those around him.
The Definition of Consistency
Perhaps the strongest praise centred on Salah’s incredible consistency.
According to Gerrard, once Salah reaches his highest level, he becomes almost impossible for defenders to contain.
Liverpool supporters hardly need reminding of that.
Season after season, Salah produced goals, assists and match-winning moments with remarkable regularity.
Very few players in Premier League history have maintained such an elite standard for so long.
It is one of the reasons so many supporters regard him as one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players.
A Historic Moment for Egypt
Salah’s performance against New Zealand carried extra significance.
Egypt secured their first-ever World Cup victory, and once again their captain was at the centre of the celebration.
His influence throughout the match demonstrated why he remains the heartbeat of his national team.
Even at 34, he continues to lead by example whenever Egypt need him most.
Liverpool Fans Still Admire Him
Although Liverpool have moved into a new era, performances like this remind supporters why Salah’s legacy will endure.
Watching him continue to perform at the highest level is a source of pride for many Reds fans.
There may always be discussions about whether he could have stayed longer or whether circumstances might have been different.
But one thing is beyond debate.
Mohamed Salah’s place in Liverpool history is secure.
And judging by the reported comments from Steven Gerrard, even club legends still find themselves marvelling at the brilliance of a player whose consistency has defined an era.
