Football/ Yaya Touré calls for greater respect for Mohamed Salah after Carragher comments

Ivorian football legend Yaya Touré has come to the defense of Liverpool and Egypt star Mohamed Salah, urging more respect for the forward following remarks made by former Reds defender Jamie Carragher. The debate arose after Salah delivered yet another stellar performance in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the Premier League’s 26th round.

Salah, who scored and provided an assist in the match, showcased his world-class talent on one of football’s biggest stages.

However, Carragher, now a pundit, downplayed Salah’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or, sparking criticism.

Touré, a former Manchester City midfielder, emphasized Salah’s consistent brilliance and called for greater recognition of his contributions.

Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has been a key figure, breaking records and earning global acclaim. With 101 caps and 58 goals for Egypt, his influence extends beyond club football.

Salah’s latest display against City further solidified his status as one of the game’s elite players.
