Messages from Salah at his ceremony of honor (video)

Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool player, revealed to the players who inspired him in his youth, both internationally and locally, and was eager to thank Diaa Al-Sayed, his former coach in the youth team, as well as talking about Mahmoud Al-Khatib and Magdy Abdelghani.

On Wednesday, the Egyptian Football Association honored Mohamed Salah and presented him with the “Inspired” award, in the presence of the Minister of Youth and Sports Ashraf Sobhi, and various sports and community stars.

Salah said on the fringes of his honor: “If it weren’t for my father, I wouldn’t be here now. My mother wanted me to stop playing football more than once, but my father rejected that idea.”

He continued: “It helped me a lot to be able to continue. For a long time in the contractors I sat down again. I did not want to go to the club for the long way and travel for hours and sit as a substitute, but my father supported me.”

He continued: “My father told me that Captain Al-Khatib sat down again, all the stars sat on the bench, my message to each father, you are the link with your son.”

He added: “Globally, I loved Zidane and the phenomenon, Ronaldo and Totti. Playing alongside Totti is a dream that came true for me. In Egypt there are many names, but of course I loved Mahmoud Khatib, and also Magdy Abdel Ghani for her goal in the World Cup, and Diaa Al-Sayed “.

And he continued: “In many things I want to preserve, when you are in your nature, this helps you on your way, makes you work more and looks for points where you want to improve, from a young age I work hard, and when I reach a goal, I tell myself I still haven’t achieved anything. “
