Wayne Rooney criticized Mohamed Salah: “Don't react and help”
“We know that Salah does not always return to defend much, but in the match with Chelsea, his side defender was made pieces and he only assisted”, Declared Wayne Rooney, according to Abola.pt.
“Salah does not react and help. Players like Van Dijk and other leaders in the locker room should tell them:” You have to help. “It was a concern and I think it seemed a little lost last week.
When things are going well, you score goals, you win and it's great. The team supports that. But I ask me questions about his work ethics last week“He added, claiming that Arne Slot should find a different role to Salah.
“Maybe he should have looked and think,” Chelsea destroys us in front. “To put Salah in the center and Wirtz on the side, keeping Salah's glow to try to score goals. The best coaches understand this and adapt. I do not say to leave him outside the team,” he said.
“Ronaldo at Manchester United also did not retreat, and then Sir Alex Ferguson moved to the center. Thus you have team balance and work is done“Rooney added.
