Club Career

Early Days

Salah started playing football in youth teams for local clubs like Ittihad Basyoun and Othmason Tanta. His childhood heroes were famous players like Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, and Francesco Totti. In 2006, when he was 14, a scout noticed him and he joined the youth team of Al Mokawloon Al Arab. Salah often missed school to travel three hours for training.

When Salah was 15, the first-team manager, Mohamed Radwan, moved him to the senior squad. He was given a special diet and training plan because he was still very young.

Salah played his first senior game on 3 May 2010. He became a regular player in the 2010–11 season. Even though he played often, he found it hard to score goals. Sometimes he would cry after matches because of this, but it only made him want to improve. He scored his first goal on 25 December 2010. He played in every game of the 2011–12 season. However, the league was stopped after a sad event at the Port Said Stadium riot in February 2012.

Moving to Basel

Style of Play

How He Plays

Salah (pictured in 2018) is known for his speed, dribbling, and goal-scoring ability.

Salah is known as a fast, active, and smart player with great technique and a good eye for goal. He is famous for his speed, quick movements, amazing dribbling skills, and ball control. He uses his pace and skill to get past defenders and create chances for himself or his teammates. Recently, Salah has also been praised for his playmaking, making many assists.

He usually plays as a winger on the right side. This allows him to cut inside onto his stronger left foot to shoot or pass. He can also play in the middle as an attacking midfielder or second striker. Salah started his career as a left-back, but his coach moved him to a forward position after seeing how much he wanted to score goals.

What People Say About Him

Many experts and football figures believe Salah is one of the best players in the world and one of the greatest African players ever. When he was young, his coach Bob Bradley noticed his incredible speed and intelligence. When Salah joined Chelsea, manager José Mourinho said he was "young, fast, creative, enthusiastic." Mourinho also said Salah had "similar qualities" to talented players like Gareth Bale and Arjen Robben. Because of his skills, speed, left foot, and goal-scoring, Italian media nicknamed him the "Egyptian Messi." Even Brazilian legend Ronaldo, who Salah looked up to, said, "Salah is an incredible player with a tremendous quality. He looks like Messi."

Personal Life

Salah married his wife, Magi, in 2013. Their first daughter, Makka, was born in 2014 and is named after the holy city of Mecca. They welcomed a second daughter, Kayan, in 2020.

During the 2018 Egyptian presidential election, many people wrote Salah's name on their ballot papers instead of the candidates.

Outside Football

Sponsors and Public Image

Salah has a sponsorship deal with Adidas and wears special Adidas football boots. He appeared in an Adidas 2018 World Cup commercial with other famous players like David Beckham and Lionel Messi.

In March 2018, Salah was in an advertisement for Vodafone Egypt. He later said he felt "insulted" because his image was used on the national team's plane without his permission. This was because the national team's sponsor was a rival of his personal sponsor.

Charity Work
