Egyptian King Needs Crown with AFCON Bling…
Mohamed Salah is basically a walking, talking trophy cabinet, but the AFCON gold is the one piece he just can’t seem to find space for. The Egyptian wizard, who’s already snagged every shiny thing at Liverpool, is looking to finally conquer the African football scene with a time stamp on that “#icantbelieveitsnotBallondOr” moment.
His national coach, Hossam Hassan, who is also the unofficial president of the Salah Fan Club, believes that next year’s AFCON is Mo’s year to reign supreme. According to Hassan, Salah can’t keep coming in second forever—after all, he’s not a supermarket receipt. And despite the opposition at the tournament potentially being tougher than a grandma’s toffee, Egypt’s got what it takes to bring home the golden egg.
And let’s chat records: Salah is just 11 shy of Hassan’s all-time scoring record for Egypt, and his boss couldn’t be happier about seeing his numbers drop. It’s like having your cake and eating it too—a buffet of goals for Salah and a smoother pathway to footy immortality for Egypt. Cheers to tasting glory with pharaonic elegance!
