“I was doing a nine-hour bus ride for 2 hours training”- this is Mohammed Salah.

In an interview for Livepool's official website, the unstoppable Mohammed Salah spoke of the incredible sacrifices he made when he was young. A story that gives you the view of extraordinary difficulties during his trip to the most beautiful sport... Salah indicates that he was used to leaving for training at 9:00 and returning home at 22: 30, taking at least five different bus lines to cover that distance.

For five days a week, every week for three or four years, I would go this way: I was out at 9: 00 a.m. to get to a training field around 2 or 2 p.m. Training began at 1600. I finished my training around 6:00. I went home at ten o'clock in the evening, fed, slept, and did the same the next day. ”

I first played for a club that was half an hour away from the village where I was born in Basyoun, the assailant said. Then I signed for a club in Tanta, which is an hour and a half away. From there I went to “Arab Contractors” in Cairo, so I had to travel 9 hours a day, four and a half hours round, four and a half hours in return, for five days a week, just to train. I left very young school to work on my training. First I went from seven o'clock to 0900 because I presented a permit from the club that allowed me to leave. This exit became impossible. But I think now everything would have continued to be just as difficult if I hadn't become a soccer player. ”

I finished my training around 6:00. I went home at ten o'clock in the evening, fed, slept, and did the same the next day. And it wasn't just a bus. I had to get on three, four or five different lines, just to go on training and then go home,” show the footballer who ended the “camera” the moment he signed the contract with Basel at 19.

I couldn't guarantee that I had the conviction that I was going out, but since I was 14, I slept thinking I'd become one of the best football players. But maybe this is every 14-year-old dream...”

Salah was named the best African football player in the year and is also shining at Premier League where the best English Championship player emerged in November. For him, the return to Angola, after his ordeal with Chelsea, has resulted in an excellent move. Salah always had the dream of becoming one of the best. It was a very difficult time for me, but I was young, a child and a goal to be a football player. I wanted to make a name for soccer, and I slept with it every night. I wanted to be a special player, one of the best,” he shows.
