Mohamed Salah has opened himself on advice by Arsene Wenger while enjoying his “best season” so far for Liverpool.

Salah, now in his eighth year as a Liverpool player, shared advice that was given to him in the past by the legendary former Arsenal manager Wenger.
Asked in an interview with TNT Sports or good and great players are separated by their match -winning skills, Salah said: “I think so.
“I think I received that advice from Arsene Wenger in the past. I actually asked him the same question because he had great players in his career.
“He told me:” The big players, it doesn't matter how he performs in the game. He always stays focused and waits at the moment. He is always in the game. ”
“I considered that a few years ago. The emotions of players go up and down, but I don't want my emotions to be like that.
“I try to be stable and understand that not every game you will have your best game. If you stay focused, you might have one chance.”
