Baiknya Salah bantu orang kampung

IKON bola sepak Mesir, Mohamed Salah menderma beribu tan makanan dan daging segar di tempat asalnya di Nagrig, Bassioun bagi membantu keluarga yang terkesan dengan pandemik Covid-19.

Bapanya, Salah Ghaly berkata, anak lelakinya itu berharap penduduk kampung kekal sihat dan berada dalam keadaan selamat.

Salah juga menggesa penduduk agak tidak menghadiri perhimpunan besar serta mengikut segala arahan kesihatan berkaitan pandemik itu.

Kata Ghaly, dua anak lembu juga akan disembelih dan kemudian dagingnya diagihkan kepada penduduk kampung serta kawasan sekitarnya.

Jelas Ghaly, yayasan amal Salah akan terus membantu menghulurkan bantuan kewangan serta barangan asas kepada majoriti keluarga di kampung itu.

Dilahirkan di Bassioun, Salah sebelum ini sering menderma untuk pembangunan projek di kampungnya itu.

Pada Disember 2018, Salah menderma untuk membangunkan sebuah Hospital di Bassioun. Bersama bapanya, Salah juga mendermakan lima ekar tanah untuk mendirikan loji rawatan kumbahan bagi membolehkan penduduk kampungnya menerima sumber air yang bersih.

Pada Ogos tahun lalu, Salah mendermakan AS$3 juta (RM13 juta) kepada Institut Kanser Kebangsaan Mesir (NCI) bagi membangunkan kembali fasiliti bangunan itu selepas diserang pengganas.

United Nations (UN) pada Februari lalu memilih Salah seagai duta pertama Instant Network Schools, iaitu program bagi membantu pelarian peluang mendapatkan pelajaran berkualiti secara dalam talian.

LIVERPOOL 3 Arsenal 1 (Liv terlalu hebat & gagah buat the Gunners)

• Joel Matip gave Liverpool the lead just before half-time as he headed home a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner
• Mohamed Salah added a second from the penalty spot after being fouled by Arsenal defender David Luiz
• The Egypt international then added a third not long after as he ran from the halfway line to tuck the ball home
• The Gunners had their chances in the first half to take the lead but new signing Nicolas Pepe could not finish

In the opening 15 minutes of the second half, they were outstanding; quick and strong, all parts of the team moving in perfect synchronicity, they started to look like the champions of Europe. They had far too much class.

Luiz, of course, helped them get their second goal. His shirt pull on Salah, which led to Liverpool's penalty, was absolutely ridiculous and the Egyptian gleefully took his opportunity, swishing his spot kick high in Leno's top corner. There was better to come.

Fabinho, such an unsung but crucial member of this team, played a ball to Salah on the halfway line in the 58th minute and with one deft touch, he danced away from Luiz and sprinted into the area before finishing with his left foot. Klopp called the strike "incredible" and you could not disagree.

The only blemish was the needless consolation they allowed Arsenal to pilfer in the 86th minute, when substitute Lucas Torreira fired in through a crowded penalty area. Really, though, it was a day to leave Klopp purring. For Luiz and Arsenal, on the other hand, old clumsy habits die hard.

Salah menjaringkan gol pertama buat Liverpool

NEW JERSEY, Amerika Syarikat: Mohamed Salah mengambil masa kurang daripada seminit untuk menjaringkan gol pertamanya ketika Liverpool menewaskan Manchester City 2-1 dalam aksi Piala Juara-Juara Antarabangsa (ICC) di Stadium MetLife, hari ini.

Sadio Mane meledak gol kemenangan pada masa kecederaan menerusi penalti susulan terjahan Tosin Adarabioyo terhadap Dominic Solanke.

Salah, Mane dan Georginio Wijnaldum baru saja menyertai skuad Jurgen Klopp di New York dan penyerang Mesir itu yang dibawa masuk pada minit ke-62, meneruskan rentak cemerlangnya musim lalu apabila menanduk masuk hantaran Rafael Camacho melepasi penjaga gol Joe Hart.

Pemain Terbaik Tahunan 2018 itu hampir menggandakan jaringan tetapi tandukannya berjaya ditepis dan satu lagi percubaannya melepasi palang.

Liverpool ketinggalan sewaktu dia dibawa masuk selepas pemain Jerman Leroy Sane, yang juga ketinggalan berbanding pemain lain dalam aksi pramusim, berjaya merobek pertahanan Liverpool dan rembatannya melepasi penjaga gol Caoimhin Kelleher untuk gol pembukaan pada minit ke-57.

Skuad Pep Guardiola bermula dengan baik meskipun kehilangan 15 daripada 16 pemain yang terbabit dalam Piala Dunia dan mereka merebut setiap kesempatan untuk menguji penjaga gol Liverpool yang masih kurang yakin selepas kesilapan pada Liga Juara-Juara.

Pemain termahal City Riyad Mahrez membuka peluang pertama buat Lukas Nmecha dan rembatan ke arah Karius gagal ditangkap kemas namun peluang itu dihidu Fabihno,19, yang cuba melepasi gawang yang tidak diawasi itu.

Penjaga gol Jerman itu kemudiannya dua kali gagal menumbuk bola dengan sempurna dan jatuh ke kaki Brahim Diaz, namun sepakan itu berjaya diselamatkannya.

Hanya selepas minit ke-18 barulah skuad Juergen Klopp berjaya mencipta peluang apabila Curtis Jones melakukan tendangan lemah ke arah Claudio Bravo.

Pemain berusia 17 tahun itu senjata utama Liverpool pada separuh masa pertama dan hampir membolosi gawang dengan tandukan tersasar dan berpeluang mendapatkan penalti sejurus sebelum separuh masa apabila dikatakan dikasari Cameron Humphreys.

Mane masuk pada separuh masa kedua dan hampir membuka jaringan dalam tempoh tiga minit dan kemudiannya cuba merembat melepasi Hart namun berjaya dikeluarkan Eric Garcia. Solanke turut menggegar gawang beberapa minit kemudian namun ia dibatalkan akibat ofsaid.

Sane yang turut dibawa masuk pada masa kedua akhirnya memecah kebuntuan namun penguasaan City hanya bertahan selama enam minit sebelum Salah menyamakan kedudukan. Mane mensia-siakan dua peluang keemasan untuk menyempurnakan kemenangan sebelum berjaya memperdayakan Hart menerusi sepakan penalti.

Salah lagi! [metro]

LONDON: Mohamed Salah memimpin Liverpool untuk sekali lagi menyelamatkan mata menerusi jaringan kemenangan enam minit sebelum perlawanan berakhir di laman lawan dengan kemenangan 2-1 mengatasi Crystal Palace sebentar tadi, sekali gus membawa pasukannya ke tangga kedua Liga Perdana Inggeris (EPL).

Luka Milivojevic membawa pasukan diancam penyingkiran, Palace di depan pada minit ke-13 menerusi sepakan penalti dan tuan rumah tidak bernasib baik ketika dua pemain Liverpool, Loris Karius dan Sadio Mane dengan mudah boleh dibuang padang.

Mane menyamakan kedudukan empat minit selepas rehat babak pertama.

Walaupun melalui perlawanan paling perlahan bersama Liverpool musim ini, Salah terbukti menjadi penyelamat perlawanan.

Liverpool mengatasi pencabar utama Manchester United, namun Red Devils boleh kembali ke kedudukan kedua di belakang pendahulu, Manchester City apabila mereka menanti kehadiran Swansea City sebentar lagi.

Kekalahan ketiga berturut-turut di laman sendiri buat Palace menyebabkan skuad kendalian Roy Hodgson itu hanya dua mata di atas zon penyingkiran - bermain lebih dua perlawanan berbanding Southampton di tangga ke-18.

LIVERPOOL belasah West Ham Utd 4-1

Liverpool are gaining serious momentum as they enter the business end of the season. A convincing victory on Saturday moved Jurgen Klopp's side up to second in the Premier League, for the time being at least.

Liverpool took their season's goal tally to over 100 in all competitions as the fearsome trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane all scored against West Ham. Emre Can brought up the century when he broke the deadlock in the 29th minute.

Liverpool crash out of FA Cup at hands of West Brom

• Roberto Firmino earned Liverpool an early lead in spectacular fashion as he lobbed Ben Foster
• Jay Rodriguez was on hand to respond for West Brom as he netted twice inside four minutes at Anfield
• Joel Matip scored an own goal before Mohamed Salah clawed one back late on for the home side
• West Brom held on for a heroic FA Cup upset over Jurgen Klopp's side to move into the fifth round draw 

Jurgen Klopp’s first trophy in England won’t be the 2018 FA Cup. Liverpool’s exit against West Brom was every bit as chaotic and confusing as the use of the video assistant referee saw the first half alone over-run by seven minutes.

In possibly the wackiest evening Anfield has ever witnessed, Liverpool took the lead, were 3-1 behind at half-time and narrowly failed to gain a replay after Mo Salah netted his 25th goal of the season late on.

To add to the Saturday night drama, referee Craig Pawson used VAR Andre Marriner eight times, two of which led to lengthy delays.

*Referee Craig Pawson called upon aid from the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) on numerous occasions during the encounter

First, he disallowed a goal by Albion’s Craig Dawson after guidance in his earpiece. Then, midway through the first half, it took three minutes 54 seconds between Mo Salah being fouled by Jake Livermore and Roberto Firmino taking the resulting penalty. as Mr Pawson heard from Mr Marriner and then went to the touchline to check the offence himself on a monitor.

To add to the farce, Firmino then crashed the resulting spot-kick against the underside of the crossbar. It was that sort of occasion.

Advocates of VAR will say justice was served because two major decisions were judged correctly because of technology.

But the flow of the game was constantly interrupted and the fans inside Anfield had no access to replays meaning they spent a lot of time sitting and waiting rather than watching.

‘Are we going to start taking goals away from the entertainment for those slight margins. That is a worry,’ said Pardew aftewards, and he was the winning manager.

Though it was a terrific game, a proper cup-tie, it hat was despite rather than because of VAR. To add to the confusion, only four minutes of overtime was played at the end of the first half even though the delays had been a lot longer that.

Even without the distraction of VAR, Liverpool will know their cup exit was self-inflicted and manager Jurgen Klopp didn’t try to pretend otherwise. ‘It was poor defending. Just bad goals,’ he said.

Both he and Pardew made only three changes each which gave the fourth round tie a sense of importance. Liverpool have won just one trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 2006 so any chance of silverware is not to be taken lightly.

Saturday night football might not be everyone’s cup of tea, or pint of lager, but there was a crackling atmosphere under the lights at Anfield, the kind that inspires forwards and makes defenders wither.

Perhaps it explains why there were three goals in the opening 11 minutes.

Liverpool struck first when Jonny Evans, in possibly his last Baggies game before joining Arsenal, reacted badly to Chris Brunt’s wayward pass, waiting for goalkeeper Ben Foster to come out and claim.

Instead, it allowed Salah to nip in and though Foster raced out to block the Egyptian’s shot, Firmino lifted the rebound into an empty net with a cute finish.

who broke the deadlock first after two errors in a row from Albion.

Liverpool’s lead lasted barely just a minute. Brunt won a 50-50 with Georginio Wijnaldum, accelerated past Trent Alexander-Arnold and squared a pass to Jay Rodriguez.

The forward hit a brilliant finish with the outside of his right boot that swerved away from Mignolet and, incredibly, he then scored again after 11 minutes to put the visitors ahead. 

This time, Emre Can was guilty, beaten beaten in midfield by Grzegorz Krychowiak. The Pole motored into the box, slipped a pass outside to Kieran Gibbs and his first-time cross was sidefooted home by an unmarked Rodriguez from eight yards.

The striker is currently waiting to hear if he’s going to face an FA charge of racial abuse after an incident earlier this month involving Brighton’s Gaetan Bong. Pardew described his on-pitch contribution last night as ‘terrific’ but Klopp could only howl at more defensive frailties.

‘Long ball, West Brom win the first challenge, win the second challenge. We should have cleared the ball but then the disaster starts with the run of Rodriguez and fantastic finish.

‘For the second goal we lose Rodriguez in the box. It makes no sense.’

The drama then took a modern twist with a double dose of VAR. First, Craig Dawson rose above Firmino to head in a Brunt corner to make it 3-1. Or so Albion thought. The referee asked whether the goal should stand and over in west London Marriner checked the footage and found that Gareth Barry had been standing in front of Mignolet, in an offside position.

Instead of being 3-1 down, it was only 2-1 and Firmino was then given his chance to level from the spot which he fluffed.

Albion had to reshuffle before half-time when Kieran Gibbs and Hal Robson-Kanu both limped off.

But they still scored again before the interval, Krychowiak finding Dawson whose low cross was turned into his own net by Joel Matip. The German attempted a backheeled clearance, missed and watched as the ball hit his standing left leg and rolled over the line.

West Brom didn’t hold back as they kept their lead in the second half. Ahmed Hegazi left Firmino doubled up in pain after stamping on his foot but got away with it.

Klopp made a triple change and watched as Foster saved from two of his subs, Danny Ings and James Milner. Jordan Henderson also came on for his first action of 2018 following a hamstring injury.

After 78 minutes, Liverpool scored their second goal. Alexander-Arnold’s cross from the right bounced off Firmino and fell nicely for Salah, who despatched his finish first-time past Foster.

It was the Egyptian’s 25th goal of an extraordinary debut season in England. Not quite as extraordinary as this game, however. 

UCL : Liverpool vs Maribor 7-0 | The REDS berpesta gol!

• Roberto Firmino got the Reds off the mark inside three minutes, tapping home a Mohamed Salah assist 
• Liverpool doubled their lead soon after as Philippe Coutinho scored his fourth consecutive away goal
• Winger Salah opened his body to slot the ball around the goalkeeper on 19 minutes for goal No three
• Alberto Moreno then put on an assist as the ball was bundled over the line by Salah for his second goal
• Firmino confirmed his second of the game as the second half got underway, heading home from close range
• Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain grabbed his first Liverpool goal before Trent Alexander-Arnold completed the win

They plundered seven unanswered goals in Maribor, smashing their previous away best scoreline of 5-0 (achieved three times — in 1964, 1976 and 2001) to leave Klopp purring about the quality of a display that will do wonders for confidence.

'Wow,' said Klopp. 'The history of this wonderful club can be like a backpack. Now we get to write our own history. It will be difficult to beat that (in the future). To win 7-0 is quite rare. We did unbelievably well.'

The success came thanks to the irresistible play of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho, who shared the first five goals, before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Trent Alexander-Arnold completed the demolition.

Liverpool's front three terrorised Maribor's defenders. Their speed, skill and subtlety wrapped up the points inside the first 20 minutes and the club's first away win in the Champions League since 2009.

Miguel Britos scrambled home a controversial injury-time equaliser as Watford held Liverpool in a six-goal thriller at Vicarage Road.

Liverpool looked as though they had put all speculation and uncertainty over Philippe Coutinho's future to one side to win their opening Premier League clash only for Britos to head home from point-black range in the dying moments to seal a 3-3 draw.

Mohamed Salah scores in first Liverpool appearance

WIGAN, England -- Mohamed Salah marked his first appearance in a Liverpool shirt with a goal after he netted the equalising goal in Friday night's 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic in a friendly.

Salah cancelled out Alex Gilbey's opener for the hosts with a tap-in right on the stroke half-time to conclude an impressive 45-minute outing.

After standard immigration procedure kept him out of Wednesday's short trip to Tranmere Rovers, Salah played the entire of the first half at the DW Stadium -- his first action since arriving to Liverpool from Roma for potential club-record fee.

Wigan took the lead in the 21st minute as Gilbey capitalised on Liverpool failing to clear their lines from a free kick.

But the Premier League side later levelled when Roberto Firmino was through on goal and allowed the Liverpool debutant to score by squaring the ball.

The match was the last of Liverpool's preseason friendlies on home soil as they embark on a near-6,000-mile trip to Hong Kong this weekend for the Premier League Asia Trophy.
