- Mo Salah is on fire.
Every single weekend this season, the Egyptian king been doing crazy things on the pitch for Liverpool, and I don't expect that to come to a close anytime soon.
He's been performing so well that some even think that perhaps he should be in the running for the Ballon D'or.
Today, we're gonna be looking into Salah's inspiration journey to not only answer that question, but also unpack how he got to where he is today.
So let's get into it.

He isnt egyptian messi, he is Salah, Just Mo Salah 🔥
FO Messi 😂
No Messi is a Argentin salah
How would you describe his style?
@@nofurtherwest3474 Salah style
the fact than u can even compare salah to messi is funny to me xD
Mo Salah doesn't get enough praise. He's been critically underrated and often gets much more criticism than anyone else. That's why I love Mo Salah. He always stays humble, always the underdog, always overachieves. A true legend! He's had a far better career than Neymar for example.
than neymar? no. underrated? yes !
@@zaahiranvar5888 what did Neymar achieve individually and as a team? Salah - broke record of the single seasonal amount of goals in EPL, multiple Golden Boots of EPL, Champions League title, runner-up of Champions League, Premier League title.
What about Neymar? They play the same position... Wingers.
@@zaahiranvar5888 Neymar is lame player that’s why he is not in the EPL. He is not tough enough and would simply collapse under the pressure.
I don't think you understand what "underrated" means
@@zaahiranvar5888 so lets talk salah is a one of a kind player that has achieved a Champions Premier legue world Cup with Liverpool broke many records and Neymar was a disapointmante but to be Fair he was the most expensive player in the world obviesly baught by PSG basicly the team that baugt there way into football
Really want to talk about neymar
The laugh n the “Spurs “ afterwards 😂😂 that’s an important moment in football right there
😂
Man I fkin hate how much of a joke we are...
@@NONAME-jw2te now you feel how us arsenal fans have felt for the last 10 years
@@Brookigetit tbf you had one point where you were just amazing, (even as a spurs fan I'll say, the invincibles era was just great to watch) while spurs haven't been an absolute kinda serious force any time in like 15-20 years. We come close to even winning something and we bottle it in the end.
Hope we can at least win something under conte... like the uecl T.T
@@NONAME-jw2te bruv i was 2 years old when the invincible season happened. The only memory i have is of pictures my dad took taking my brother and i to Highbury. The greatest moment that i can remember is 2014 fa cup sitting in the stands with my whole family and friends around me watching us finally winning a bloody trophy. Besides you’ve had a way better team then us for the past 6 years and still kept faltering. In the words of the great chiellini “ this is the history of the tottenham “.
Being a top footballer that come from neither of the reigning football countries (brazil, italy, germany, etc) is another factor that this man, is a MIRACLE!
Why is it?
Many great players come from all over the world how is this a factor?
@@d.jmamba7237 Training in a country that has many great players means that they have better training areas and academies. Egypt isn’t really known for being the home of football is it.
@Phan⸸omS⸸ranger ⛧ How can you say "just as good" when he is the top african scorer?
@@Saad-lw4ry Egypt football is very big but we don't have many world class players.
When Mohammed Salah's kids grow up and start playing football they have a lot of stories to hear about how their dad got to his training ground every morning.
What? How will you know them??
His time at fiorentina was definitely a turning point, he was rejected from chelsea after a great season with basel, and had to build up his confidence all over again
He exploded in Serie A with fio
He was definitely the best player in Italy for half a season there
Inter almost got him but ultimately ended up in Rome and he was still great but it looked like he reached his peak in Rome
Great creator of dangerous situation with speed and techniques
But not enough composure under pressure to finish neatly and actually scoring goals
Instead Liverpool made him reach new heights and he learned to score consistently
@@tpsam I would say that he got some very good help from the Roma training team, he raised his scoring skill, but mostly I would say he raised his awareness, and became smarter.
Before he had all the speed and the body atributes to become this great, but in Rome he learned to use them.
He learned to play without the ball, waiting for the ball or just moving just at the right time to leave the defender behind while his teammate passes the ball in the empty space.
That is some of the biggest attributes he has to this days and make him so different to the rest of the pack.
As an Egyption i'm so proud of him i love him he is just humble and dedicated and i love how he is a little shy ,he is an inspiration to little kids here in Egypt ,when i see little kids play in the streets and always speaks his name and wants to be him it always makes me happy
I just hope they put more money to train these kids instead of playing in the streets ,there is so mush talent here wasted
Hello fellow Egyptian🇪🇬
السلام عليكم
@@zmg3664 waalaikumsalam
Salah sounds like such a nice guy. I would love to have a conversation with him
Same, to be fair 😂
Actually he is...u can see his interviews with skysports FANQ&A
Best player in the world at the moment. He’s almost has good as this channel tbh 👏👏
Eyyy!!😎
Lewa
Smiles in Lewangoalski.
Benzenma
@@anonymousturtle9788 comparing bundesliga to the premier league is laughable 😂😂😂
I’m a die hard United fan and it actually pains me to see and agree with how world class Salah is. Hurts so much man.
same bro..he constantly steamroll gunners when he want to..😢
respect 🙏
😹Mo Salah pulled an Eminem with the “who,who”
😂
A Leicester 15/16 season breakdown vid would be very interesting, that was the weirdest season ever
it's unbelievable how amazing he is hope he gets the golden boot this year
He's gotten it before
It's really impressive how many talents absolutely exploded after playing in Serie A. Being from Florence myself it's struggling to see these many talents going away from Fiorentina: Marcos Alonso, Milinkovic-Savic, Salah, Cuadrado, Chiesa, and many more; perhaps now it will be the turn for Vlahovic
U lost baggio , batigul and salah .
U r doomed forever .
Hakimi lukaku....
I think its because of good coaches in Italy
@@abdullahqamar7934 bruno Fernandes too
@@iman7j887 most players fail in Serie A and explode in England and Spain that's so crazy
I agree on the "NO" but to his credit he's the top G+A contributor in Prem and that says aaaa lot!!! by far the top and most competitive league. 2 out of top 6 comes from Bayern... give me a break
Just imagine how Salah would fare in Bundesliga. 😁
After liking the video, I became a super duper chill guy! The stats don’t lie.
Can't argue with science 😂
@@FootballIconic you misspelled "the truth"
when Mo Salah played for Fc Basel there were interviews on the clubs homepage and they asked there played, what they would have become if not footballplayers. every other player said they would have become doctors, professionals in other sports, authors (you get the idea), everyone but Mo Salah, he said, he would have become a cabdriver in cairo. From that day on, he was my favorite player, because it showed, how humble he was
He definitely deserved it during the 2017/18 season.
Not at all, Ronaldo, Modric and Messi were all far better that season.
Ronaldo should have won that season
@@manwithnoname8229 Ronaldo and Modric were not better.
@@maz8491 yes they were, Ronaldo definitely was what are you talking about?😅
I still think he would have won the UCL and Ballon D´or in the 17-18 Season if it was not for Ramos
This is a strong possibility
And if ramos didn’t elbow karius into the post.
Will never forgive Ramos for that 😤
Ramos is an average defender hence why he has to be so dirty.
He would have won the UCL, I was watching it live and Liverpool was dominating Madrid, and then you know what happened
That “yo bigman”
Now I know you don’t just watch fng you’re in love with his comedy
An inspiration to us all
Soon he'll be saying more slang words like "wa'gwan" and "man'dem".
It's always a joyride binge watching your content on a daily basis with snacks on the side... Literally well written and good also relatable clips... In fact it more of feels therapeutic with that calming music in the background instead of those BS electronic music... Literally every single video is informative and a masterpiece in itself! Keep it up man, appreciate your work a lot
Cheers!! Really appreciate that, friend!
The same feeling especially about the music
@@FootballIconic he meant is was 4/10 good bro 🤣🤣😂
I like everything abaut the video starting from the speakers voice.....
Yeah it's much better for health then "jogging" or any kind of stupid "moving" and it's annoying carrying the snacks when "moving"
Iconic, in a world where football “fans” on social media are down right brutal and ignorant.. you are an angel. Thanks for shedding light on the talented players
I knew the goal against City would be featured... I couldn't believe we conceded such an awesome goal... M. SALAH is an icon
Do an England class of 66 that would be amazing especially with the World Cup next year
Not a bad idea, you know!
@@FootballIconic You should do a video on the either cuju or episkyros which fifa recognises as the earliest form of football.
Love Liverpool. love Mo. love Virg. Love South Africa. AND LOVE YOU! GREAT WORK AND CONTENT
Why South Africa?
@@mrmungus6508 that’s where Football Iconic is from
I’m Egyptian and I’ve been waiting for this video for quite some time.. big ups my guy
Pretty simple really, if he continues playing somewhere around this level until the Balon dor voting happens then he definitely should win. And it's quite likely Liverpool will win a major trophy this season on top of that.
He deserves more!
Thanks for this amazing video ❤
This year will be Salah's year.. Hope that Liverpool can win a big title and Egypt wins CAN
Absolutely well done video, by far the best video to watch about Salah, any sport TV can't even do better!!
Cheers!
Quality stuff as always my guy, keep up the good work!!!
This is a topic that I've been wanting to learn about for a few months now, thanks for making this video!
Fantastic video mate. Loved it. Thanks for the hard work producing this.
im arab and i cant go out of my house without seeing atleast one kid not wearing a mo salah jersey
Fun Fact: Egyptians are Arabized but they ain´t Arabs . But yes I get your Point Salah is so popular in the Arab and Muslim World
@@Sisiboi so if Egyptians are not Arabs, and don't consider themselves so, then what ethnic group do they belong to?
@@Sisiboi culturally? yes they are Arabs. Genetically no they are not.
@@jakescourage not even culturally who told u that are u living egypt ? do you know how we wear ? our music ? cinema ?
@@Sisiboi Fun Fact : Stfu we are Arab and we're proud of that

Thanking the youtube algorithm for suggesting your channel. Great video man, can't wait to check out your other content
Thanks for that Mate it was Great. We are so sorry lucky 🍀 to have him at Liverpool. YNWA.
For Me Mo Salah is the best forward on Planet Earth at the Moment
Lewangoalski
Underrated as hell channel why does he not have 1m subs he doesn't even DESERVE 1M he deserves 10M
Kudos to this channel!! This video poured out much well thought out reasonings and seasonings the smooth delivery
Thanks!
Salah is just a genius
chelsea once literally had a world class team on their hands with de bruyne, mo salah, lukaku, hazard, courtois... but Jose had to throw it all away 😔
They rejected mbappe to
Still a FC Basel Legend ❤💙 forever one of us!!! Best Player...
As an Egyptian and a true fan of your videos who like your style and your story telling and the soundtracks you use I'm extra enjoying watching this video, this is a great video about salah, the one thing that was missed is salah run with egypt especially in world cup qualification matches, he was brilliant at that time and it was the most important time in his career at that time
Video aside, your script writing is brilliant. So so fluid
Insightful video as always 🙌🏽
Great video.. Truely he's in fine form rn
never feel so blessed to be recommended to your video, chill man subbed already. "wink" "wink"
Mo Salah the best player on the planet at the moment and he is getting better and better and still only 29 years old
Let’s say Mo Salah continue this form into 2022 for the 2022 Gold ball
1.) Egypt has to win the African cup of nations or he put up insane stats that’s his January
2. Liverpool win the champions league he top gold scorer and get Klopp an FA Cup
3.) finish with the golden boot
But he has the advantage of playing in the hardest league in the world 2 of the top teams in Europe
But He has definitely hitting his peak that moment where everything clicking mentally and physically…
Liverpool aren’t the same team without him
Love your videos iconic, pure quality like Salah😀
Man, I really enjoy your content. Keep it up and you'll blow up soon like Salah career ;)
Well done man, hard work , style and good voice 👏🏼💖 i didn't miss 1 sec
Fantastic video!
just discovered your channel man and this is quality content. It is not easy to strike the right balance between information and analysis when making these things, but you are doing a great job. Also the bus joke LMFAO
Mo Salah is a beast he can grow every year and never get injured
Who agrees
Great video!
He is in a terrific form but not as terrific as our boy iconic ,your videos are just awesome.
Will love to see your take on Big Benz 💪✨
Great videos keep it up you made my life happier
Your content is top drawer mate!
Actually, the way he and his team is performing i am surprised they are still second on table behind chelsea. Just insane how competitive this season is
Shows how good chelsea are without a proper goalscorer as now ( Lukaku is yet to fire )
Our defence keeps letting us down at times, we keep drawing. I hope we can fix this ASAP to win the title so we can celebrate with them.
wdym?? we are 4th not second.
@@toonytunes9336 sorry but they were second before the match against WEST HAM ,weren't it?
@@m.rgamehub9378 yeah true. Before the west ham game they were second.
Class video as always
Quality content mate!
Salah deserved the Ballon d’or after his 1st season with Liverpool. He deserved it again the year when Liverpool won the Club World Cup. Anytime he’s given it he’d deserve it as a compensation for those seasons.
He is an inspiring legend 🔥🧡
Banger! Class of 92 video next?
Humble man doesn't needs much praise but still doing his jobs till the upmost.
His friends shall loves him more than ever.
his confidence, his mentality is rare for modern days footballer
As a relatively new American fan to European Club Football your videos are literally a gold mine for me .
If he had been English or French he would have won the balon dor already.
Stupid comment..... Name a single undeserving Englishman who has won the Balon D'or??
Don't be a bigot, it's pretty gross.
@@jordan_roadhouse4798 Michael Owen
I know Iconic in real life and he is genuinely one of the nicest people out there. Please support his channel. May you have all the well deserved success in the world!
Mike! Didn't expect to see you here! What a nice thing to say. I'll catch you soon, my man!
Is South Africa as messed up as people said it is? Genuinely curious man.
@@heijimikata7181 Yes and No haha. Like every country, only the negatives make international news. It obviously has it's ups and downs as a country like everywhere else I guess.
This video deserves a lot more views 👏
The easy answer would be that Klopp made him so good. But he was always great. He was just underrated and Klopp realized that
Mohamed Salah is a legend who has made himself, while Messi and Ronaldo have taken all the support from all around, especially the star makers. So far, the whole team is in the service of Ronaldo and Messi, while Salah makes the impossible alone. Mohamed Salah left Chile and created small clubs and made a history among the biggest clubs, while Messi, Ronaldo and others did not go through this experience, Mohamed Salah is the new Marad
And now he’s here for 3 more years! The Kop will sing about our Egyptian king for a century!
Great 🤩MO Salah 🇪🇬👑 Legend of Liverpool ever 💯🌠 unstoppable best records ever 👌 good performance 💪 continue his own legandary history book 🤞🤫
Loving the liverpool run of content recently man, and i say that with no bias whatsoever. Nope. No bias at all. Regardless, great vid as per man, always adore seeing that notification come up. While i do disgaree with you on the main balon d'or question, i'll always respect the current GOAT of football content on youtube. Now, if you wanna make it a no contest discssion on being the GOAT, i gotta see that dream of a 'How Good Was Xabi Alonso Actually?' become a reality. Keep up the amazing work man, you're on fire.
No bias at all 😂 appreciate it, man! Yeah, channel is definitely lacking some Alonso👌
His competitors don't play in PL don't forget, He is the best player there. 😉
Nice Video 👌🏼
as an egyptian u banged this video about his career my friend
Eyy! Thanks man. That means a lot!
loved this video i didn't skip 1 sec
s/o to you for the quality content

Pls baggio one day luv ur vids so insightful
2:36 Mo Salah got so used to beating defenders, that he even beat Lovren on the Podium
Production quality is top class
Great video on one of my favorite players.
Can you do a video about Bayern.
Great content 🐐
Hahaha cracked me at don't be weird don't be weird hahahaha. You're right Thu, he's a great player. best of luck
He started shining in Roma❤💛 so happy for him..
Great video on The Egyptian King, video suggestion- what happened to ‘wonderkids’ talking players like Alexander Pato?
Man your channel is 🔥 as mo salah
You're fire, my friend 😎
city fan and cannot deny the sheer talent this man has
What I like about Salah is when he attack he didn't even hesitated or scared to just run forward with speed... that's what I'm dream for my Chelsea team
9:07 the following pause is just golden cuz you know he's speaking ironically as soon as he let's it hang a bit too long lol
