Mohamed Salah test-drove his recently acquired Bentley, revealing his passion for Star Wars.
Salah, once again in the limelight for his stellar performance contributing to Liverpool’s victory over Brighton, expanded his car collection with a £160k Bentley Continental.
The Egyptian forward, central to Jurgen Klopp’s team, faced controversy over alleged diving, notably earning a penalty against Brighton. In Alderley Edge, Cheshire, Salah, dressed in a bulky cardigan, opted for a low-profile outing on Monday.
Wearing the knitwear pulled over his head drew comparisons to Star Wars characters, emphasizing his fandom. Salah then Һit the road in his flashy new Bentley.
This Saturday’s penalty against Brighton marked Salah’s third in as many months, prompting criticism from opponents and pundits for perceived diving against Newcastle and Arsenal.
Despite the controversies, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, echoing sentiments from ex-teammate Luis Suarez, defended Salah, urging him to respond on the field.
Henderson stated, “It doesn’t bother him. He is strong. His drive to prove critics wrong will only increase as the resistance grows. People should appreciate him when he visits other grounds. He will do things people want to see.”
Addressing Salah’s penalty, Henderson emphasized, “There’s no debate about that. I’m sure away grounds will appreciate what they see from Mo. It’s enjoyable to watch him do the things he does.”
The victory against Brighton secured Liverpool’s seven-point lead, which remained intact prior to Manchester City’s win over Wolves on Monday. Henderson stressed the importance of maintaining clean sheets to secure trophies and highlighted the need to maintain momentum until the season’s conclusion.
As Henderson affirmed, “We all know that each game will likely be the most significant of the season.
