After the amazing success of Mohamed Salah with Liverpool last season, both in the English Premier League or the Champions League, the name of the Egyptian wing is placed alongside the stars of the ball Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
But with the fall of Salah this season, English football star retired striker Robbie Fowler saw Salah's situation with the players in one box causing trouble for the Reds.
Last season, Salah scored 44 goals in 52 games in all competitions, compared to just 3 in the current season.
"It's almost impossible for any player to keep up with the numbers of Messi and Ronaldo," Fowler said, given the players' continued record-breaking streak for consecutive seasons.
Messi scored 574 goals in 560 appearances, against 577 for Ronaldo in 772 appearances, and the two monopolized individual international awards until last year.
"The problem is that Salah (along with Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane) put themselves in a single category with Messi and Ronaldo at a great goal last season, but that's not true unless you play for Barcelona or Real Madrid," Fowler told the Mirror newspaper. From another level. "
"In general, I do not think any player should be compared to Messi and Ronaldo."
The season of success has been among the three candidates for the FIFA World Player of the Year award, along with Ronaldo and Luca Modric. The award eventually went to the Croatian star.
Salah, 26, is also on a list of 30 players nominated for the Golden Ball award by France Football magazine for the best player.
