“Soon he will be gone to Madrid” Former Egyptian international, Mido on Salah.
It may not be an everyday headline but somewhere deep in the mind of every Chelsea fan is the thought that somehow someone thought Mohamed Salah was not good enough for the club in 2015 and only two years later, he has become a torment. Yes, it was Mourinho’s decision and it will continue to be rubbed in his face.
But Salah was not one to doubt his own qualities and if others could not see him for what he was, he could see himself and would not stay where he believed he was bigger than. After the expiration of his loan stint with Fiorentina, the Egyptian adamantly refused to stay at the club but instead joined Roma. Thus began his rise to the summit, he recorded an astonishing 8 goal haul in just 12 matches for the Italian club and despite not being the striker. The next season he scored 15 goals in 31 games and most times coming in as a substitute.
On June 22, 2017, Salah agreed to a deal with Liverpool as he made a return to the Premier League to haunt former employers Chelsea and forcefully take a crown that he deserves and he currently tops the league with 9 goals in 12 outings. So touched was Jurgen Klopp that he said of him: “If he continues at this rate, he will finish the season with something like 70 goals.”
That is not all that has made the fast feet winger a gem on the field. His exploits with the national team have been likewise impressive and he was instrumental in Egypt’s World Cup qualification success as he finished as their highest goal scorer with 5 goals and also scored the 2 goals in the decisive 2-1 victory over Congo.
He has been named the Pharaoh of the century and we should give him a crown already.
Go ahead give him a crown. Lol
