"I hope I can maintain this level throughout the season, not just in the first game! I always try to help the team. The most important thing is that the team wins the game. I'm always happy to score goals and make assists, so I just have to maintain the same form," Salah was quoted as saying by the club's press office.
The Egyptian footballer recorded 14 goal contributions (nine goals and five assists), surpassing former Manchester United and Everton striker Wayne Rooney (13) in that measure. Salah also took the lead in goals scored in first Premier League games (9), eclipsing Rooney, former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard and former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer, who had all scored eight goals in their first Premier League games.
Salah's remarkable start to the season has been a crucial factor in Liverpool's strong performance so far. The 30-year-old forward has been instrumental in the team's attacking play, posing a constant threat to opposition defences. His ability to find the back of the net and create chances for his team-mates has been a key asset for Jürgen Klopp's side.
The fact that Salah has surpassed the goalscoring records of Premier League legends like Rooney, Lampard and Shearer in the opening games is testament to his world-class quality. It demonstrates the Egyptian's ability to perform at the highest level consistently and make a significant impact in crucial moments.
As the season progresses, Salah will no doubt be looking to maintain his impressive form and continue to lead Liverpool to domestic and European success. With the support of his team-mates and the passionate Anfield faithful, the former Roma man will be hoping to cement his status as one of the greatest players in Premier League history.
Beyond his exploits on the pitch, Salah has also become a role model for aspiring footballers, especially those from the Middle East and North Africa region. His success and the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch have inspired many youngsters to pursue their dreams in the sport.
In a league as competitive and demanding as the Premier League, maintaining such a high level of performance over a season is no mean feat. However, if anyone can do it, it is Mohamed Salah, who has proven time and time again that he is one of the most talented and consistent players in world football.
As Liverpool's talisman, Salah will undoubtedly be the centre of attention for both his team's supporters and their opponents. The pressure to reach and maintain his exceptional level will be immense, but judging by his track record, the Egyptian forward looks more than capable of rising to the occasion and leading his team to further glory.
