Salah’s Honest Take on Ekitike Relationship…
Mohamed Salah has opened up about getting to know his new mate Hugo Ekitike on the pitch. Together, they’re trying to click like two puzzle pieces that haven’t quite figured out they’re from the same box yet. With Liverpool’s shopping spree totaling over $600 million, the stage is set for an epic drama starring Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, and soon-to-arrive Alexander Isak. Salah admits learning the rhythm of these fresh faces, as they try to replace the departed Diogo Jota (gone too soon!), Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez, whose departures left gaps wider than a football field in Liverpool’s lineup.
Though Liverpool has enjoyed a dream start with wins against Bournemouth, Newcastle, and Arsenal, Mohamed Salah feels there’s still work to be done. Imagine trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle with pieces that keep changing shape mid-solve! Salah scored against Bournemouth and assisted youngster Rio Ngumoha against Newcastle, who handled the pressure like a chef multitasking during dinner service. Salah reassures fans on the “Men In Blazers” podcast that chemistry with Ekitike will shape up soon via rigorous training and maybe some old-fashioned telepathy. Meanwhile, Ngumoha, the newbie, under Salah’s mentorship, is learning quickly to avoid early peaks like a cartoon character in an avalanche!
