How Did Mohamed Salah Get So Good?
Спорт
Mo Salah is on fire.
Every single weekend this season, the Egyptian king been doing crazy things on the pitch for Liverpool, and I don't expect that to come to a close anytime soon.
He's been performing so well that some even think that perhaps he should be in the running for the Ballon D'or.
Today, we're gonna be looking into Salah's inspiration journey to not only answer that question, but also unpack how he got to where he is today.
So let's get into it.

Mo Salah doesn't get enough praise. He's been critically underrated and often gets much more criticism than anyone else. That's why I love Mo Salah. He always stays humble, always the underdog, always overachieves. A true legend! He's had a far better career than Neymar for example.

@@tpsam I would say that he got some very good help from the Roma training team, he raised his scoring skill, but mostly I would say he raised his awareness, and became smarter. Before he had all the speed and the body atributes to become this great, but in Rome he learned to use them. He learned to play without the ball, waiting for the ball or just moving just at the right time to leave the defender behind while his teammate passes the ball in the empty space. That is some of the biggest attributes he has to this days and make him so different to the rest of the pack.

when Mo Salah played for Fc Basel there were interviews on the clubs homepage and they asked there played, what they would have become if not footballplayers. every other player said they would have become doctors, professionals in other sports, authors (you get the idea), everyone but Mo Salah, he said, he would have become a cabdriver in cairo. From that day on, he was my favorite player, because it showed, how humble he was

Liverpool win the champions league he top gold scorer and get Klopp an FA Cup 3.) finish with the golden boot But he has the advantage of playing in the hardest league in the world 2 of the top teams in Europe But He has definitely hitting his peak that moment where everything clicking mentally and physically… Liverpool aren’t the same team without him
