Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has reacted to missing out on a place in the FIFA FIFPRO Men's World XI, deeming it unfair.
The Egyptian has had a stellar season at Liverpool this term. The winger has bagged 27 goals and ten assists in 32 games across competitions for the Reds. However, the former Chelsea forward was overlooked in the FIFA FIFPRO Men's World XI, which has shocked many.
Salah is also surprised by the omission, telling dmc (via Empire of the Kop) in an interview:
"I really don’t know; I don’t know the criteria of selection; I just saw I wasn’t on it, and that’s it. Yes it does (bother me), but there is nothing I can do about it."
The attacker continued:
“If people believe I deserve it, and if the whole world is wondering how I’m not part of it, this to me is the most important thing. I don’t believe they have something personal against me, but I just think it’s not fair. But what can I do about it?”.
Salah also did not make the top five in the Balon d'Or rankings, which was met with backlash from fans and pundits.
Salah laughed when asked by a reporter about his seventh-placed ranking. He finished behind the likes of Chelsea's Jorginho and N'Golo Kante, and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.
Does Liverpool's Mohamed Salah deserve the Balon d'Or award this year?
Mohamed Salah could surely be in the running for the 2022 Balon d'Or, considering the season he's been having for Liverpool and Egypt. The striker is the runaway Premier League top goalscorer with 19 goals, which is seven more than his teammate Diogo Jota, who's second.
Salah was also instrumental in driving Egypt to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations. However, the Pharaohs fell short on penalties to Senegal.
The attacker has played a key role in the Reds' Premier League campaign. They are just six points off leaders Manchester City, with a game in hand and a trip to the Etihad Stadium to come.
Salah earlier set a record this season by scoring in ten consecutive games across competitions, the first Liverpool player to do so.

Then who should he think must be replaced by him? 🤔🤔 All the front three have won major trophies and scored more goals than him last season 🤷♂️ and he won nothing 💯 this is the reason I want Senegal to make sure Egypt doesn't get to the world cup

He was answering to a question. Still remember the 5 - 0
Blah blah blah. I also still remember things like Forlan's double at Anfield and Cantona's goal in the cup final that clinched a double. You know what, all of that is in the past and doesn't matter. The only important game is the next one. Oh and think to yourself if your team is so great, why has it won only two major trophies under this manager? League cup and club world cup etc are not major trophies. And by the way, Salah is still a sulk

Heheheeeee use ur brain next time because Ronaldo perform far better than Salah last season. Ronaldo : 1) Won two trophies last season 2) won Euro golden boot last season 3) won seariA golden boot. 4) Ronaldo scored 47 goals last season. 5) Ronaldo scored 15 goals for Portugal world cup qualifiers. Salah : 1) won zero trophies last season 2) he was not EPL to score. 3) he did not win any golden boots 4) he scored zero goals in the world cup qualifiers. 5) He scored 37 goals less than Messi, Ronaldo and Lewandoski. So goals wish all the 3 scored goals than Salah, Trophy wish all the 3 won two trophies and Salah won zero trophies and All the 3 won top scorers of their respective leagues and Salah did not.
You're not using your brain, are you? FIFA pro 11 is for performance throughout 2021, not last season...if Ronaldo and Haaland were any good, they'd have made it ahead of Salah in the FIFA rankings

you're a big fool girl! which payer had ever won an individual award by blowing their own trumpet🎺? let him shut up and concentrate on working hard on the pitch, if he's man enough. that's what those that have won things do! not losers medals in afcon, and you think you're great......he better ask and learn from his teammate how and what it is to win a continental trophy,v for instance. not good enough, no honors. simple 👌. and let me warn u about your foul mouth👄 dude! 👊💥

Heheheeeee someone could not win even a common tea spoon for Liverpool last season and couldn't win any golden boots with only 37 goals for last season is speaking nonsense. Even this season 2022 he will not make it because Mane is above him.
Same Manchester united and all its players won nothing not an top scorer in from the team. Individual performance by salah was superb.

The fact that he made the top three but couldn't make the fifa pro world eleven shows how biased the award is... Yet somehow Ronaldo and Haaland made the cut ahead of him and Mbappe... ridiculous just
Heheheeeee use ur brain next time because Ronaldo perform far better than Salah last season. Ronaldo : 1) Won two trophies last season 2) won Euro golden boot last season 3) won seariA golden boot. 4) Ronaldo scored 47 goals last season. 5) Ronaldo scored 15 goals for Portugal world cup qualifiers.

So goals wish all the 3 scored goals than Salah, Trophy wish all the 3 won two trophies and Salah won zero trophies and All the 3 won top scorers of their respective leagues and Salah did not.

Mohammed Salah deserves Balon d'Or 1,000,000%
Even 2022 balondor Salah can not win it because Mane is close more him for winning African cup and best player of the tournament.
