Mo Salah once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to excellence by posting a photo of himself swimming at 11pm on Saturday, shortly after providing the assist for Divock Origi's 94th-minute winner against Wolves. The 29-year-old Egyptian forward has been in sensational form this season, scoring 19 goals across all competitions.
This is not the first time Salah has been spotted putting in extra work late at night. Following Liverpool's 3-2 win over AC Milan in September, he shared a similar image at 3am. His relentless pursuit of improvement has been a hallmark of his time at Anfield.
Despite his stellar performances, Salah finished seventh in the 2021 Ballon d'Or rankings, behind Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski, and others. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed surprise at the outcome, suggesting that journalists should reconsider their votes. Klopp also praised Lewandowski, noting that if the Polish striker did not win this time, he might never get the award.
Liverpool's win at Molineux briefly took them to the top of the Premier League before Manchester City reclaimed the summit. With Salah set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations in January, Klopp is hopeful of reaching an agreement to keep him for crucial festive fixtures against Chelsea and Leicester City.
