At 4:00 Beijing time on December 29, the 20th round of the Premier League ushered in a dialogue between the champions, Liverpool away to Leicester City. In the 15th minute, Salah's penalty was saved and then his own header hit the crossbar to make it 1-0 0-0, while Leicester City escaped.
Due to the pandemic, Liverpool had one game postponed, so they were six points behind Manchester City and had to win if they wanted to bite their opponents. Leicester City, on the other hand, are plagued by injuries, and even the starting line-up is not even in a good position, and the situation is very difficult.
In the first half, Liverpool had 61% possession and an 11-5 lead on goal, but they never broke the deadlock.
In the 15th minute, Arnold threw the ball into the box, Henderson stepped forward to respond, volleyed the ball back, Salah got the ball in front of the goal, Ndidi stretched his legs to put him down, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty.
As the team's top scorer, Salah did not allow himself to take the penalty. The 100 million superstars watched the opposing goalkeeper's position as they ran and then sent a penalty to the top left corner of the goal. But Schmeichel Jr. guessed the right direction and flew sideways to complete the blocking.
However, Schmeichel Jr.'s save was not clean enough, the ball just stopped in front of the goal, Salah took advantage of the jumping header to make up for it, and the result was an impartial smash on the crossbar to pop up. Under the interference of the opposing defender, Salah made up for the shot again without success, and was released by Bigfoot. Salah failed to score the ball with three consecutive shots on goal, and fans lamented that Liverpool were too difficult.
Keep in mind that Salah is the most reliable penalty shooter in Liverpool's squad, having scored 15 goals in a row, the last time he didn't score was in 2017. In addition, this is only the second time salah has conceded a point in his Premier League career.
After wasting the perfect opportunity, Salah himself was frustrated and made a helpless expression. It is worth mentioning that Klopp is surprisingly calm, and Uncle Scumbag's mood does not fluctuate at all, just standing calmly on the sidelines and paying attention to the progress of the game.
In fact, before the end of the half, Salah still had a good chance to break the goal, but the close-range shot was still saved, and Schmeichel Jr. saved Leicester City again.
