Shot heat-zone vs Brighton
Toggle “on” to see every touch. Salah’s average position drifted 4 m central compared with 2024-25. Reason? Slot’s inverted 4-3-3 pulls the winger inside when Kerkez overlaps. Result: two extra shots from zone 14 (between penalty arc and edge). Expected threat rose 0.38 → 0.51. Data source: WINNER12 optical tracking, 25 fps.

Anatomy of the penalty: 4-frame breakdown
1. Szoboszlai wins loose ball, drives into box.
2. Dunk lunges, contact above ankle, VAR silent check complete after 12 s.
3. Salah collects from ref, eyes Ryan Schofield’s hips.
4. Stutter, low left, 71 cm off ground – unsaveable zone. Keeper guessed right, physics said no.

What the numbers hide – our 2025 case note
We feed every touch into WINNER12’s AI consensus engine. Back-test shows Salah’s conversion rate on pens jumps to 93 % when Anfield crowd > 53 dB. Sunday peaked 56 dB. Model edge: +0.11 goals per penalty. Small? Over a season that’s 2-3 points. Title margins.

Common误区警告
注意: “He’s slowing” tweets ignore context. Salah’s non-pen xG chain is 0.48 per 90, identical to 2023-24. Drop in open-play goals? 0.39 → 0.34. Offset by rise in pre-assists (second-last pass) 0.12 → 0.19. He’s morphing, not fading.
