â??Itâ??s incredibly disrespectfulâ?? â?? Emmanuel Adebayor defends Mohamed Salah against Carragherâ??s criticism

Former Togo captain Emmanuel Adebayor has criticised Jamie Carragher’s recent comments about Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, calling them unfair and disrespectful to one of football’s most consistent stars.

Carragher had questioned Salah’s leadership and influence during a tough spell for Liverpool, suggesting the Egyptian winger was becoming more of a problem than a solution. Adebayor, speaking to BeanymanSports, rejected the assessment.

“I heard what Jamie Carragher said about Mo Salah, and to be honest, I think it’s incredibly disrespectful. He has been consistent for seven or eight years. To talk about him as if he is a finished player or a problem for the team is wrong,” Adebayor said.

“Mo Salah is an African icon, but he is also a global football icon. When you have a player like that, you cherish him,” he added.

“Carragher was a great defender, and he knows how hard it is to play against a player like Salah. To sit in a studio and say these things, it feels like he’s forgotten what it’s like on the pitch.”

“If he were English, they would be building a statue for him every week. Because he is Salah, and because he is African, people find it easy to criticize him.”
