Mohamed Salah leaves out Van Dijk in his dream five-a-side team, “Sorry Virg”
Mohamed Salah leaves out Van Dijk in his dream five-a-side team and instead, goes for Trent Alexander Arnold.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has left out his teammate defender Virgil van Dijk from his dream five-a-side team.
While speaking with Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport, Salah selected five top players for his team.
The Egyptian star said (via EmpireOfTheKop):
“I go for Trent, I love Trent! So I go Trent, Mbappe, myself and sorry Virg, I don’t defend! Messi and Ronaldo”.
Salah’s inclusion of Trent Alexander-Arnold is merited given the extraordinary campaign the right-back has had at Anfield.
The English full-back finished the season with a remarkable 19 assists in 47 appearances and continues to be touted as the best right-back in the world.
Meanwhile, Premier League has released the 2022-23 league’s fixture list.
Liverpool will begin away to newly-promoted Fulham.
It will be the fourth season in a row where Liverpool have begun the campaign against a promoted side – the first time that has ever happened in English top-flight history.
