Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has opened up about the fitness levels of one of the club's biggest stars, calling it a major source of inspiration for the entire team.

The Reds have kicked off the new season with a bang, winning every Premier League match and securing a victory in their Champions League debut.

Despite clinching the Premier League title last season, Liverpool didn't rest on their laurels. The club made significant investments over the summer to strengthen their squad.

In a recent interview with a Liverpool fan on Sky Sports, Mac Allister revealed who motivates him to elevate his fitness game—none other than iconic forward Mohamed Salah.

Mac Allister praised Salah for his amazing dedication to fitness, stating, “Everything he does is quite special and that’s why he’s always in phenomenal shape, both physically and mentally.”

He added, “I think he has a few secrets about his regimen that he keeps to himself, but watching him work—especially in the gym—shows how committed he is. He's there every day, taking incredible care of his body. It's these small details that set him apart.”

“We’re lucky to have him on our team, and I learn something from him every day. My goal is to one day reach his level of fitness and dedication.”

Salah has had his critics despite recent successes, with some questioning his performance this season, even as he boasts three goals and two assists.

Amid this scrutiny, fellow coach Arne Slot came to Salah’s defense, emphasizing that true greats contribute to the team even on off days.

Slot stated, “A great player still adds value, even when they’re not at their best. Not everyone can impact the game when they aren’t scoring or assisting. But Salah? He might not always be the creative force, yet he consistently finds a way to contribute.”

With the Merseyside derby around the corner, Salah remains a focal point for both admiration and debate among fans and analysts alike.
