Champions League: Why Salah didn’t do well at Chelsea – Lampard
do well while at the Stamford Bridge.
The Egyptian has scored his 39th goal of an increasingly prolific
season to help send Jurgen Klopp's side through to the last four of
the Champions League at the expense of Manchester City.
Lampard played alongside Salah at Chelsea during the Egyptian
international's underwhelming 18-month spell at Stamford Bridge.
Salah returned to the Premier League in the summer, transforming from
an erratic winger to a free scoring forward.
Asked if he thought Salah was capable of producing the sort of form he
is in currently, Lampard told BT Sprot, 'No.
"But he didn't get that many chances [at Chelsea] to show that. But
he's released himself from the wing. At Chelsea he was seen as a
winger.
"He didn't have much impact but there were a lot of players ahead of
him, the likes of Eden Hazard who was older than him.
"By releasing himself from the wing he's been able to show his
brilliant intelligence. Even for the goal. Sometimes we watch Lionel
Messi and he's great at just standing in areas.
"Salah's started to do that, just standing in areas and all of a
sudden the ball comes to him and he goes."
