Pressure grows on Mohamed Salah as Premier League title is close

Mohamed Salah has admitted the pressure of fulfilling his “dream” and winning the Premier League title with Liverpool has increased now that the Reds are “close” to the achievement. Jurgen Klopp’s side will return to summit if f they avoid defeat against bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. Salah acknowledges that feelings become more intense as they come closer to the title. He told ESPN Brasil: “There is pressure because you want to win the Premier League. “But now it's more because you're just close to the end, so there is more pressure. But at the end of the day, the next game, the three points, is very important, like the first game of the season. “But the people don't take it like that. They take it like: 'OK, there's a pressure now'. But in the beginning of the season you need to win the game to get the three points to be here now. “So now you are top of the table or second and you have one game in hand, so you just need to be calm and play football. “It's a dream, to be honest. It's one of my dreams when I came to Liverpool, to win the Premier League. I said that last season. “Maybe the people were saying it was crazy, but it was in my mind always to come here and win the Premier League. “I said it last season, I said it at the beginning of the season and now we are close. I hope we are going to win it. We'll do our best to win it.”
