Ghanaian footballer, Mohammed Salisu, has recently admitted that he believes he is only operating at 60% of his potential and is determined to deliver a higher level of performance.
Salisu made the acknowledgment during a pre-game press conference with AS Monaco’s official media, leading up to their French Ligue 1 clash against Le Havre Athletic Club scheduled for Sunday, February 4.
After representing Ghana at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote D’Ivoire, Salisu has rejoined his club teammates as they prepare for the upcoming match. The Black Stars faced an early exit from the tournament, leaving Salisu eager to return to action with Monaco.
Although Salisu played a key role in Monaco’s 3-3 draw with Olympique Marseille in the previous round, he acknowledges that he is still on the path to regaining his optimal form after being sidelined for four months due to a knee injury.
Expressing his determination to improve, Salisu stated, “It’s a pleasure to be here, and the integration has been easy. On a more personal level, I know I can play even better. I think I’m only at 60% of my capabilities. To reach my best level, I am training hard every day.”
Salisu’s performance at the AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire faced criticism, but he remains focused on improving and delivering a higher level of performance for Monaco.
With Monaco set to face Le Havre, Salisu is poised to compete against fellow Black Stars player Andre Dede Ayew, who is part of Le Havre’s roster and recently scored twice in a match against Lorient to secure a draw.
