"Some say life is short, for me it's not true, I do what makes me last all my life, I'll stay alive what I do every day." American director and actor John Malkovich of his film "Being John Malkovich".
But our story here will be a little different, a realistic film that we will call "being Mohammed Salah".
Tuesday night, at the Abdou Diouf International Conference Center of the Senegalese capital, Dakar, the trophy of the African footballer of the year 2018 will be announced. This prize is contested by our Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, his Senegalese colleague Sadio Mani and Pierre Emeric Obamyang of Gabon.
FilGoal describes with you the journey of the Egyptian star of Mohammed Salah.
Mohammed Salah, son of the village of Najrij in Basion City, Western Province, on June 15, 1992, had made a long journey from Najrej to Liverpool.
"I love football since my childhood, especially with my 7 or 8 year olds." I remember my constant quest for the Champions League and my attempt to emulate Brazilian Ronaldo, Zidane and Totti when I play in the street with my friends.
Salah thinks he's not a good player, but he nevertheless continued to dream until he plays with Tanta's subcontractors and, from there, with the Arab subcontractors. The training started professionally for the first time at the age of 14. It takes more than four hours a day from Basion to Cairo and a daily leave from school to leave early to catch up.
Before finishing his seventeenth year, Salah became a player on the first Arab Contractors team. His first goal in the Premier League was to attract attention. He therefore chose to score in the net against Al Ahly, specifically in the 52nd minute of the match, December 25, 2010, at College of War.
"When I look back, I find that my memories with Arab entrepreneurs are good, I was young and I had a dream."
At the age of nineteen, he wore the Egyptian shirt for the first time. The Pharaohs have decided to play the last two qualifying matches for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations with young players after calling for an early competition, before qualifying for Sierra Leone and scoring the first international goal of his career against Niger on October 8, 2011.
On October 8, the same day that Salah returned six years later to mark the most expensive duo of his career and lead Egypt to the 2018 World Cup.
The 2011 FIFA World Junior Championship in Colombia, then the London Olympics in 2012, Mohamed Salah has become a household name for the Egyptian public. A young player did not play for Al Ahli or Zamalek, but had signed a contract with a Swiss team called Basel, scored a goal against Brazil, then a legend like Mohamed Abu Trika to kiss him after a goal in the tournament. Belarusian security of Egypt in the quarter-finals for the first time since 1984.
After Zamalek President Mamdouh Abbas rejected the idea of a player who "needs a lot of time to learn," Salah began the trip to Europe with Basel in the summer of 2012.
"I did not understand the language because I did not know English or German, I did not know where to buy food or anything, I went there to live alone, I told myself, I had to deal with the situation or it would become harder, which I did. "
Many expected him to spend six months or more in Basel, then return to Egypt with a red or white shirt. But Salah chose to go until the end.
Best young player of Africa 2012, best player of the 2012-2013 season of the Swiss league, Swiss champion in Basel, two goals against Tottenham then Chelsea in the European league.
"I was happy but I was eager to help the team to return to the Champions League and that's what we did the following season … What I can say, it's that Basel is a fantastic club.Everyone there is my friend and I like it a lot. "
Salah became a key Pharaoh player, scoring six goals in the 2014 World Cup playoffs, but ended in tears in Abu Trika's tour after Ghana's defeat.
He played in the Champions League and scored again at Chelsea, not one but twice to attract attention in England. The move to Liverpool in January 2014 was imminent, but a message from José Mourinho over the phone.
"There was an interest from Liverpool when I went to Chelsea, but I think if I joined Red, things would not go as well as now, I'm completely different, I'm here in Liverpool at the right time."
19 matches in which Chelsea was wearing a Chelsea shirt. He was not the favorite choice of the outstanding coach, but he learned a lot from him. Decided in January 2015 to leave for Fiorentina on loan. Before that, he made a decision and kept it for himself.
"When I was at Chelsea, I played for Anfield for the first time, so I figured I had to play here someday."
In just six months during which Salah scored nine goals in 26 games at Villola, including a historic double in the Italian Cup semi-final against Juventus, Fiorentina preferred to stay, but preferred to travel to Rome because it seemed obvious that he would no longer wear the Chelsea jersey.
In Rome, Salah continued to progress towards full maturity, winning the team's best player title in his first season with the Wolves after scoring 15 goals in 42 games. The following season, he scored 19 goals in 41 games in Rome, becoming popular and heavily influenced by Luciano Spalletti.
"Spalletti helped me a lot, he was very smart, I always talked to him after training, he never told me, he even helped me improve my personality. "
"When I went to Italy, everyone said that maybe it was good and that no, Italy would be hard on him, he was not playing for Chelsea, but six months later, one or two years, I think what was happening in everyone's mind has changed. "
At the same time, Salah became more and more a true legend in Egypt: cafes left Real Madrid and Barcelona behind Fiorentina and Rome.
Egypt returned to the Africa Cup of Nations after an absence of three consecutive rounds and even reached the final of the tournament before Cameroon's last-minute defeat. She was progressing slowly in the World Cup playoffs to the failed dream for 28 years.
His last shot with Roma was historic, when he entered the legend of Francesco Totti in his last match with the capital's team.
At that time, Salah decided to do what he said when he was a player in Chelsea, returning to Anfield "one day".
"When I realized that I was about to join Liverpool, I was very happy." "I wanted to play here and show my abilities to everyone.
On June 22, 2017, Liverpool announced the signing of Mohammed Salah under a contract that was then the most expensive in the history of the Reds. Some fear that Salah will return to England after an unsuccessful experience with Chelsea, while others consider that the value of 50 million euros (42 + 8 additions) is too important.
"Salah will make us more dangerous, Salah believes in what we are trying to do here in Liverpool and we want to be part of it, an ambitious player who wants to win and reach the highest level and who knows that these ambitions can be achieved with Liverpool . " Juergen Club
Salah was quick to make himself a star for Liverpool fans, the team he'd used to play in video games with a training including Gerrard, Hibia and Owen . He quickly merged with the players and his songs began to spread throughout Merseyside.
On October 8, 2017, six years later, the day he scored his first international goal, Salah entered the Burj Al Arab Stadium in front of more than 80,000 Egyptians who had been waiting for that day for almost three decades. At nine o'clock in the evening, 100 million Egyptians celebrated and sang everywhere.
He returned to Liverpool to start a new chapter of the trip, came back to crush the number after the other.
Best player in Liverpool history, first Arab to win the player of the month title, third Egyptian to win the title of the best African player of the BBC. All this makes him the second Egyptian to win the best of Africa title last January and the first since KAF entered the trophy in its current form in 1992.
"He's smart and wonderful, he has a great balance, he's fast and strong, he's good at running behind defenders, he has all the power, the resolution, the speed and the accuracy." Alan Shearer
Salah regained the title of the continent's best in Liverpool to continue beating all possible numbers. In April, he won the title of best player in the referendum on the Premier League. In May, he was followed by the same title in the referee survey. And then won the title of the top scorer in the English Premier League, not only that, but scored a record 32 goals, the largest number of the history of the competition in the seasons of his presence in the presence of 20 teams.
He led Liverpool to the Champions League final for the first time since 2005, but it lasted less than half an hour before getting injured after a famous match with Sergio Ramos. And in his absence caused the opening of the Pharaohs at the World Cup against Uruguay. And then returned to score two goals at a time in Russia and Saudi Arabia to match Abdul Rahman Fawzi in the Pharaohs' top scorer in the history of the World Cup, without however hindering the formation of the World Cup. Hector Cooper to lose her.
The start of the 2018-2019 season sparked some skepticism as to Salah 's continuing advance. The "phenomenon of a season" is the sentence that may have embarrassed him to score points without congratulating sometimes, but he did not stop. He scored 16 goals and scored half in 27 games during which he was wearing the red jersey this season. The goal of the men's qualification of the Jorgen Club for the last 16 games of the Champions League has been set by Napoli.
Third in the UEFA poll of the best player of the season. Third in the poll of the FIFA player of the year. In the race of the balloon for the best of the world. All the characters were not Egyptians dreamed of seeing any of them reach, but Salah even realized what was not in their dreams.
"I think I can be 100% better, that I can develop on many levels, so I have to keep working hard and look to the future."
Today, Salah is looking to continue writing history. Seeking to become the first Egyptian to retain the title of best of the continent. This is by no means the best in the world, and certainly the best in Africa.
