Etoão: Salalah has arrived here thanks to me

Mohammed Salah is among the most valued attackers in the last two years, but no one has thought his merit progress has another major world football name.

Barcelona's former striker, Samuel Etoão, believes that the speeches he delivered years ago inspired Liverpool's star.

The 26-year-old footballer is considered one of the best football players in the world, thanks to his performance in Rome and Liverpool, as well as his heroic qualifications with Egypt at the World Cup.

Salah is expected to be among the top contenders in the final for “The Golden Top”, as it scored a total of 44 goals last season with Liverpool, leading “Red” to the League Champions final.

Etoão and Salah have played together at Chelsea for six months in 2014 and former producer of Cameroon is already seeking credit for the Egyptian attacker's successful career.

I hope Salah will remember that day when we were together in the dressing room at Stemford Bridge, after a poor performance of it. I asked him to be patient: You're a good footballer and you'll be a great player”.

Now Salah has become that giant footballer and will write his own story, through persistence and powerful desire. All depends on Salah himself, he has incredible skills and is currently appearing at a high level, allowing him to pretend for Golden Ball”, Etoão said of Qatar's sports channel “Al Cass” /Periscopi/
