Recently, after Liverpool star Leo Ngumoha became the youngest Premier League goalkeeper in the history of the team at 16 years and 361 days, the team's core player Mohamed Salah publicly proposed career development suggestions to the young teammate, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a humble attitude and staying away from social media attention.

In the first round of the Premier League held a few days ago, Ngumoha, who came on as a substitute, scored the winning goal in injury time, helping Liverpool defeat Newcastle United 3-2 away. The goal allowed him to break the youngest goal scorer in team history held by Ben Woodburn at the age of 16 and 361 days.

Salah revealed in an interview that he had in-depth exchanges with Ngumoha after the game. "I told him that he must be humble and keep working hard," Salah said. "Young players can enjoy the goal moment, but should not be addicted to the outside evaluations on social media. These external recognitions are often illusory, and professional players should get satisfaction from their professional performance. It is reported that Ngumoha performed outstandingly in the pre-season preparation period this summer, contributing two goals and two assists in four games. Although Liverpool has introduced several top players this summer, the 17-year-old is still selected for the new season's Champions League roster for his outstanding performance.

Salah particularly emphasized preventing young players from falling in their state after reaching their peak prematurely. "Some players reach their professional peak too early and will face development difficulties later. We need to help Ngumoha maintain a stable growth trajectory. "

Liverpool Club said that they will adopt a step-by-step training plan for Ngumoha. With the addition of new players Yuke Ekitic and Alexander Isaac, the team's forward competition has intensified, which also provides a favorable environment for the steady growth of young players.

Salah finally said: "The team has a good growth environment and the head coach also communicates with him frequently. As long as he maintains a humble attitude and works hard, his future development is worth looking forward to. "
