Liverpool head coach Arne Slot emphasized that Mohamed Salah's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or are tied to the team's ability to secure a trophy this season. Salah has had an excellent individual campaign with 30 goals and 21 assists. Slot noted that consistent performances will keep Salah in the award conversation, but ultimately winning a trophy is crucial for increasing his individual accolades. He praised Salah's contributions both offensively and defensively, highlighting the need for a strong team effort to achieve their goals.
"It's mostly about attackers although the last winner was a midfielder [Rodri]. It's a good thing Mo is in the discussion as that means he is doing well and that means we are doing well."
"For him to stay in that discussion he should bring the same performances as he has done for seven or eight months now. In general, someone who wins the Ballon d'Or needs to win something as well."
