When talking about the outside criticism of Salah, Zidan, the former Dortmund player who played alongside Salah in the Egyptian team, said that the criticism against Salah is unfair.
Zidan said: "I think the British media's criticism of Salah is a little too much. Everyone knows his achievements in the past few years. With his achievements, he will always be the pride of Liverpool fans and the Egyptian people. The amount of criticism he is receiving in England now is neither normal nor logical, and it is completely unfair considering the achievements and performances he has achieved.
You cannot blame Salah alone for Liverpool's problems. The entire team is not in good shape, not just Salah. It is unfair to put all the blame on him for his personal decline, but this is also the pressure he must bear as a top player.
From what I have seen, Salah has a very strong character and can withstand pressure. He has also experienced more difficult times in his peak period, but he can still stay focused. The problem is not Salah personally, but the entire team. Liverpool's overall state is not ideal, and Salah is naturally affected, just like other teammates. "
