Mohamed Salah was born in 1992 in the small Egyptian town of Nagrig. From early childhood, he showed exceptional football skills, but was not given the opportunity to develop professionally. His family was far from wealthy, and Salah was forced to combine football, studies and other income to support his parents.
Cependant, le jeune homme surdoué n’a pas abandonné. Il s’entraînait la nuit sur des terrains vagues, perfectionnant ses compétences. Les entraîneurs locaux ont remarqué ce talentueux et l’ont recommandé à l’académie du club du Caire El-Mokawloun Al-Arab. Ce fut la première étape importante sur la voie du grand football.
À l’Académie El Mokawloon Al Arab, Salah s’est rapidement démarqué parmi ses pairs. Sa technique phénoménale, sa vitesse et son instinct de but ne pouvaient qu’attirer l’attention des éclaireurs. En 2010, à l’âge de 18 ans, Mohamed fait ses débuts dans l’équipe principale. Sa première saison dans l’élite égyptienne a été très réussie avec 11 buts et 6 passes décisives.
Les performances impressionnantes de Salah ne sont pas passées inaperçues en dehors de l’Égypte. En 2012, le géant suisse Bâle a acquis le talentueux joueur pour 2,5 millions d’euros. Cela a marqué la première transition significative dans la carrière de Mohamed.
In Switzerland, Salah quickly adapted and became a key player in the team. In the 2013/14 season, he scored 17 goals in all competitions, including 6 goals in the Champions League. His brilliant play caught the attention of the giants of European football.
In January 2014, Mohamed Salah joined English side Chelsea for £11 million. This was the next big step in his career. However, adapting to English football was not easy for him. Despite his impressive performances at Basel, Salah initially failed to gain a foothold in the first team in London.
But Mohamed didn't give up. He continued to train hard and waited for his chance. In the 2014/15 season, Salah was loaned to Italian clubs Fiorentina and Roma, where he finally showed his full potential.
At Fiorentina, Mohamed scored 9 goals and made 4 assists in just half a season. And at Roma the following season, he exceeded all expectations, scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists. His brilliant play attracted the attention of many European giants.
In 2017, Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah for a club-record £42 million. Many were skeptical about the move, believing that Salah would not be able to repeat his success in Italy in England.
But Mohamed proved everyone wrong. In his first season at Liverpool, he became a real discovery. With 44 goals in all competitions, Salah set a new record for goals scored by a Liverpool player in a season. He was recognized as the best player in the English Premier League and received the Golden Boot as the league's top scorer.
This was just the beginning of Mohamed Salah's meteoric rise to fame. The following season, he became the Premier League's top scorer again and Liverpool won the UEFA Champions League. Salah played a huge part in that victory, scoring 27 goals in 52 games.
In the 2019/20 season, Mohamed Salah became a Premier League champion with Liverpool for the first time in 30 years. He continues to score goals regularly for the club and the Egyptian national team, remaining one of the best footballers in the world.
What explains Mohamed Salah's dizzying success? Without a doubt, his exceptional footballing qualities – technique, speed, dribbling, goal-scoring instinct – have played a key role. But behind these talents lie hard work and a strong character.
Salah is known for his incredible dedication and hard work. He often stays for further training, honing his skills. Mohamed is also in excellent physical shape, which he maintains through strict training and diet.
However, Salah's main driving force is perhaps his strong motivation and determination. Despite his humble origins, he never gave up and persistently pursued his dream of becoming one of the stars of world football. This fundamental internal stimulation helped him overcome all the difficulties on the path to success.
Another important factor is Salah's mental strength. He knows how to handle pressure and criticism while remaining calm and confident. This has helped him adapt to English football after a poor start at Chelsea.
Finally, we cannot fail to highlight the role of the coaches who have helped Salah realize his potential throughout his career. At Liverpool, his game reached its peak under Jurgen Klopp, who managed to perfectly integrate Mohamed into his attacking scheme.
As a result, the combination of exceptional footballing ability, incredible work ethic, strong motivation and competent coaching leadership has made Mohamed Salah one of the brightest stars in world football. His story inspires millions of people around the world.
