“Just unbelievable”: Joe Cole likens Liverpool star to Lionel Messi

Joe Cole has likened Mohamed Salah to Lionel Messi after his performance in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Watford on Saturday. Salah scored a goal with an incredible right foot finish in the first half and doubled the lead with a left-foot finish in the second half. The Egyptian has scored nine goals and has made four assists in 14 games in the Premier League so far this season. Cole likened one of Salah’s touches to Messi. “The pass [from Mane] into space is unbelievable but don’t underestimate that, the weight of pass there,” Cole told BT Sport. “He’s inviting Salah to take it on his good foot. But then it’s all about Mo Salah, we saw him score a goal in the week which was just unbelievable. “From Watford’s perspective as well, look at the number of defenders trying to get back. I know they’re 0-0 at Anfield, give good credit to them, but the finish, that little touch he took there, most players haven’t got that composure, that little Messi touch, where you chop inside and just want to get the shot away. “That little extra touch took it out so he could get his body shape right and just lift it into the top corner. It’s unbelievable talent and that’s the difference between the two teams. “The high elite people get to this level. He wanted to improve his right foot and he’s scored three absolute worldies on his right this week.” Source- TheSportReview
