How Salah became the main symbol of hope for Egypt's rising generation

Every time PFA Player of the Year Mohamed Salah scores, a roar booms around the streets and a city is consumed by unrestrained appreciation. This is not Anfield. This is not Liverpool. This is match-day in Cairo, and it is a scene replicated across Egypt at least 41 times this season.

In Bain El Sarayat in Giza, a predominantly student area of Egypt's capital, murals of Salah adorn the walls. The students congregate at cafes, such as Bondouk, a short distance from Cairo University, anticipating Salah's weekly goal dispatch. YouTube channels set up by Egyptian fans dedicated to the Liverpool forward are instantly updated. Social media trending is determined by his latest exceptional deed.

"Salah is a role model for young people. The good thing about him is that he started from the bottom and worked hard to succeed," says Islam Helmy, 20. "He comes from a village, and I'm from a village, too. I love him so much. I made my haircut and my beard just like him.


quote:

"Salah has reached a place where no other Egyptian player has been," says Mohamed Ahmed Fat'hy, 22, a student at Cairo University's faculty of commerce.

"I do not advise him to leave Liverpool. He is now Liverpool's superstar, and the team needs him. He needs to stay two or three more seasons to complete the experiment. Salah has dreams with no limits. He already achieved many but is still looking for more, and we are with him."


I agree with you 100%, Ahmed.

So, one twitter ITK account that I follow (@GraemeKelly1, who has a very good track record of knowing our transfer "wants"... says Migs out and Butland in...

Given LK's recent showings, I'd take that... He's someone who could push Karius and be a solid #2...

There are actually some pretty good players that look to be going down this season, that could probably be had for depth at great value..
