“I KNOW WHAT MY EYES SAW LAST SEASON, AND NOW THEY’RE EVEN SCARIER!” – MOHAMED SALAH DROPS SHOCKING ADMISSION AHEAD OF ARSENAL CLASH
Liverpool’s talisman Mohamed Salah has sent shockwaves across the Premier League after admitting that there is ONE Arsenal player he is genuinely afraid of facing this Sunday. The Egyptian King, who rarely shows fear or hesitation, revealed that this particular Gunners star left a lasting impression on him last season — and with Arsenal now in top form, Salah believes the challenge has become even more terrifying.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the blockbuster clash, Salah said: “I know what my eyes saw when we faced them last season. He was everywhere, strong, sharp, fast… Now that they’re in form, I’m even afraid of facing him already.” Those words alone have ignited massive debate among fans, as many are now speculating which Arsenal player has forced Salah into such an honest admission.
According to insiders, the player Salah is referring to is Gabriel Martinelli — the Brazilian winger who has caused chaos for defenders across the league with his relentless pressing, blistering pace, and fearless dribbling. Last season at Anfield, Martinelli tormented Liverpool’s defence, constantly driving at Salah’s flank and forcing the Egyptian to track back more than usual. It was a battle that Salah has not forgotten, and with Arsenal currently flying high, he knows it could be even tougher this time around.
Arsenal fans are already buzzing with excitement at Salah’s comments, taking it as a huge compliment to their rising star. Liverpool fans, however, are divided — some see it as mind games from Salah, while others are worried that Arsenal’s young guns could overwhelm their team on Sunday.
This match is more than just three points. It’s about pride, momentum, and proving dominance at the very top of English football. With Salah admitting his fear of Martinelli, the spotlight is now firmly on the Brazilian. Will he live up to the hype and punish Liverpool again, or will Salah turn fear into fuel and respond like the champion he is?
One thing is certain — all eyes will be on Salah vs Martinelli this Sunday.
