Paul Scholes praised the importance of Jota, citing his knack for scoring important goals.
Scholes noted:”They don’t have many attackers in the front three, but they seem to have that role in Salah.”This accolade marks Jota as an important figure supporting Liverpool’s attacking trio. Mohamed Salah remains Liverpool’s undisputed star, but Jota’s timely return could be crucial to Salah’s trip to the Africa Cup of Nations.
Scholes said Jota will be Liverpool’s “most reliable scorer” in Salah’s absence. Reflecting on his return, the number 20 spoke to LiverpoolFC.com about the perfect Christmas present: “It feels huge and special.
It’s been a crazy 24 hours and I never expected to be on this shortlist. I was at home when I knew I had to go back to train with the team and from that moment I knew I had to do it.There were some special people in my audience today. My family and they came for Christmas. The former Liverpool forward is set to leave his current club in six months.
The Liverpool reunion is a transfer optionIt was great to win, score, get back on the pitch and get those three points. “It was the best Christmas present for everyone here.”With special people, including family, gathered in the crowd, Jota’s goal became a milestone. This is Liverpool’s 50th goal.
