Mohamed Salah: On to Anfield…
In June 2017, Liverpool announced they had secured Salah's services on a long-term deal, with the Egyptian taking the club's No.11 jersey. Fans were excited – and so far, it's been proven they had every reason to be…
I’d said to myself, ‘I want to come back to England’. It was always in my mind, coming back here. I wanted to play here and show everyone my football. When I realised I was very close to coming here, I was very, very happy – and after speaking to the boss for the first time after the deal was agreed, I was even happier.
Why were Liverpool the right club for me? Because of many things. I even used to play as Liverpool on the PlayStation on FIFA when I was 18 or 19, as Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen and Xabi Alonso. I also remembered that atmosphere again and it came into my mind.
The way we play here is different to Rome, which is why I think I took one, two or three weeks to adapt. But ultimately, I think it has worked out well and we are working together well – but we need to win many games to be in a better position.
The players are very nice, very close to me and everything is fine. We talk to each other, we have good times, all of them are humble and that’s what makes me better and better and better. It’s not about anything else, it’s about the atmosphere in the club and being close to the players and the coach.
