In a match in the 17th round of the Premier League that ended in the early hours of this morning, Liverpool beat Newcastle United 3-1 at home to continue to be second in the table and closely follow manchester City.
Salah scored a goal in the 24th minute of the match, his 15th goal in the Premier League this season, and continues to lead the top scorer list, with a lead of as many as six goals against second-place Vardy, and only less than Levan (18 goals) and Hick (16 goals) in the top five leagues.
However, Salah today is not just a simple endpoint, he not only leads the league's top scorer list, he also ranks first with 9 assists in the assist list, and in the five major leagues, only Muller has more assists than him.
If we don't think the Premier League stats are convincing enough, then let's look at Salah's performance in the Champions League, with 6 games, 7 goals, averaging more than 1 goal per game, tied for third place in the top scorers list, behind Alai and Levan, without delivering assists.
However, don't forget that Liverpool's opponents are Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Porto, the standard death group, Salah challenge can be said to be the strongest difficulty in the group stage, and the gold content of 7 goals is self-evident.
As a result, Salah has contributed 22 goals and nine assists in 23 games in all competitions of the club this season, and has created 31 goals alone, more than Cristiano Ronaldo (13 goals and 2 assists) and Messi (6 goals and 4 assists) combined. Looking at the top five leagues, it is also second only to Levan's 32 goals (29 goals and 3 assists in 24 games).
Given that both Liverpool and Bayern have the absolute strength to win both the league and the Champions League, it is certain that Salah and Levan are already in the leading position in the 2022 Ballon d'Or selection.
But compared to Levan, Salah currently holds a more obvious advantage, that is, his national team Egypt has successfully entered the final round of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and Levan's Polish team will participate in the play-offs in the European zone, facing Russia in the first round, if he can win the winners of Sweden and the Czech Republic, the strength of the Polish team is not sure to win against these three teams, so Levan may not be able to win the World Cup.
Once Poland fails to break through, even if Levan has another outstanding performance at the club, it will become a huge subtraction, and he will once again be held back by the national team record, just like this year.
Salah doesn't need to worry about that, he just needs to focus on club games, go with Liverpool to the league and Champions League trophies, and make sure his stats look as good as possible.
Of course, some people will explain that the year is the Year of the World Cup, and it is difficult for the strength of the Egyptian team to achieve good results in the World Cup. But whether the voting time for the 2022 Ballon d'Or d'Or is before or after the Start of the World Cup is unknown, and if it ends in October, as this year, then the World Cup results will not affect the selection, and the club results will determine everything.
Even after the World Cup, because the Egyptian team is not a traditional strongman, public opinion will not be too demanding of them, as long as Salah can help egypt to qualify from the group, it will become a proper plus. Moreover, Egypt and Qatar belong to the same Arab countries, the Egyptian team in Qatar can be called half a home stadium, Salah is also an idol of countless Middle Eastern children, which will also help them.
In this year's Golden Globe Awards, Salah only won the 7th place, and when asked by reporters about this ranking, Salah only laughed and said that he had nothing to say.
There is really not much need to say much about the results that have been formed, the best thing to do is to respond with excellent performances, Salah is currently doing this, next year he will turn 30 years old, this is also the best time for him to reach the Ballon d'Or, need to work together with his Liverpool teammates.
