Mohamed Salah has demonstrated himself as one of the best-attacking talents in Europe though Cameroon captain is not quite sure about that.
Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar says Egypt and Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah “doesn’t impress” him. The Indomitable Lions and The Pharaohs meet tonight in the semifinal of the Africa Cup of Nations to book a spot in the finals.
Ahead of their head to head battle, Aboubakar urged that France international Kylian Mbappe exceeds the Reds striker.
Since joining the Merseyside club from Roma in 2017, Salah has established himself as a prominent figure in Jurgen Klopp’s roster. With his significant help, Liverpool managed to lift the Champions League and the Premier League.
Having scored 16 goals and nine assists already in the 2021-22 season, the Egypt international is casting consistent performances. However, Aboubakar is not the biggest fan of Salah ahead of their showdown on Thursday night.
The Cameroon captain told RFI: “I see him as he was before. He’s having a great season in the Premier League, helping his country to advance in this competition (Afcon). I wish him a lot of luck. May the best man win!”
“I’m not very impressed with him. I say it clearly because I am an honest person and I have my own way of seeing things. If he impressed me, I would say so. But he doesn’t impress me much.”
“He’s a good player, he scores a lot but he doesn’t produce a lot of stuff in the game. Of course he does good things in the Premier League because he’s been in a team for years.”
“He is a good player but not at the level of someone like Mbappe.”
