Steven Gerrard, Liverpool legend and former English international, revealed that Mohamed Salah, the current winger of the team, is his son’s favorite person now, and that he loves him more than him.
And the official account of Liverpool on social media platforms published a promotional clip for an interview with the hashtag “#WhenStevieMetSalah”, that is, when Steve meets Salah, and it will be shown in its entirety on Thursday evening.
In the clip, Salah appeared asking Gerrard about his favorite star as a child, and the latter replied: John Barnes, Barnes was like you, a good dribbler, he could score goals with skill and individual effort, and change the outcome of matches in favor of his team.
Gerrard continued: As for now, my favorite player is you, because my son Leo is obsessed with you, he loves you more than me, you are the only person who loves him more than me, I am in second place.
Last year, Salah removed Gerrard from the top scorer for Liverpool in the Champions League competition, as Stephen scored 30 goals in the red shirt, while Salah reached 41 goals so far.
Salah had surpassed the record scorer for Liverpool in the English Premier League, Robbie Fowler, after he scored two goals against Manchester United during the historic victory by seven goals.
Salah scored 129 goals in the English Premier League in 205 games, which is 61 games less than Fowler, who scored 128 goals. He also became the second Liverpool player after legend Ian Rush to score 20 goals per season in 6 consecutive seasons.
Fowler told “The Athletic”: When the moment of breaking my historic record came, I was in the stands watching that, it is a great moment, even when people asked me how I felt after Salah became the historic top scorer, I answer that I am very happy, happy that he stripped me of my record because I am a fan. For Liverpool and I want the strikers to score as many goals as possible.
