Chivu stated, "Liverpool is one of the most successful teams, having won the Premier League recently. They had a good start to the season, followed by a decline, which is normal for any team. They have players who can understand the importance of key moments and be ready for crucial games, and tomorrow's match is one of those."

Chivu also emphasized that Liverpool has players who can replace Salah, and that the team will maintain its high level of performance, as it always has throughout its history. He also pointed out that they are talking about teams, not individual players, and that they should focus on the team's performance rather than individual contributions.

Salah has not started in Liverpool's last three matches due to a poor start to the season, scoring only five goals in 18 appearances. Liverpool is currently in 13th place in the league and has claimed nine points from its first five games in this season's tournament. The team is looking to secure a fourth consecutive win over an Italian team in Europe, which will be a challenging task away from home.
