Northern Ireland ace Conor Bradley has branded Liverpool teammate Mo Salah a club legend after the Egyptian scored his 250th goal for the Premier League champions.Salah hit the net in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday night, as Arne Slot’s men ended their long run without a domestic victory ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League showdown with Real Madrid.Northern Ireland international Bradley impressed on Saturday, as he staked his claim to become Liverpool’s first-choice right-back.Following the game, Bradley said: “Mo is a legend for this football club and he is someone I try to learn a lot from every day in how hard he works, every day in the gym and things like that.“He's a fantastic player and I think he showed that tonight. Although Bradley has scored four times for his country, he hasn’t scored for his club in almost two years.He said: “I probably could have shot a few more times, to be honest.
Hopefully we can continue that now for the games coming up.”Following Saturday’s 2-0 win over Villa, Bradley’s attention now turns to Tuesday night’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid at Anfield.Bradley said: “It's obviously nice because it has been a really difficult run. Obviously we'll be ready for Tuesday now, which is another massive game against Real Madrid.“Whenever teams try to play out against us, our press is one of the best things we can do.“I thought the press was magnificent right from the front with Hugo Ekitike and Mo, and us lads backing it up from the back.
It was brilliant and I think that set the tone for the game.“We know it's been a difficult few weeks but we know looking round the changing room, we've got so much quality in there and you knew it was only a matter of time before we could turn it around.“But at the same time, it's only one win. We've got to keep going now, we've got two more massive games before the international break.”On Tuesday, Bradley is expected to be named in Michael O’Neill’s Northern Ireland squad with crucial World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Luxembourg on the horizon.Read more
