His name has come to the fore in recent days due to his signing by Chelsea as a replacement for Asturian Juan Mata, although he had already shown his talent in major tournaments such as the current Champions League, the last Europa League and the last London Olympics. If you didn't meet him at those tournaments, In Hanging for Football we present you the new signing of Chelsea.
Nacido en 1992, Salah is a left-handed winger with great speed combined with his good dribbling skills., makes him an extremely difficult player to stop when he finds spaces in the opponent's defense. Usually it starts from the right wing, to take advantage of his shot with his good leg after dribbling an opponent. That doesn't mean I get a great shot, It stands out more for its placement at the long post from the front of the area or for its good definition in front of the goalkeeper on counterattacks. When you have no spaces, He is usually lost many times in bland dribbling or, on the contrary, reaching the baseline and not being able to make good crosses due to his poor use of his right leg. In conclusion, he is an excellent player for counterattack teams and weaker for associative teams or teams that like to carry the weight of the game., although with the youth that he treasures he can improve those weak points.
Salah entered the lower categories of the Arab Contractors SC (also known as Mokawloon) and made his Egyptian Premier League debut on 3 de mayo de 2010, in a match that ended with a draw 1 between El Mokawloon and El Mansoura SC. In the following season, 2010/11, Salah takes over the ownership of his club, It also opens its scoring locker in the league a 25 from December to 2010 against the most successful team in Egypt, and Al Ahly SC. End the season with 21 matches played and 4 goals to his credit, which helps him to be summoned by Diaa El-Sayed for the U-20 World Cup that takes place in Colombia. Egypt is eliminated in the round of 16 against Lamela's Argentina, Iturbe, Pezella, etc, even though the pharaohs have a good generation of players (Protect, Hegazy, Fathy, Ibrahim or El Nenny). Salah ends the World Cup with the 4 matches completed and a penalty goal in the Round of 16.
During the season 2011/12 became the big star of El Mokawloon with 7 goals scored in the 15 matches you completed, hasta que el 1 February, the tragedy of Port Said occurred. That event, occurred at the end of a match between Al-Masry and Al-Ahly where 74 people were killed and about a thousand were injured, caused the suspension of several days until the 10 March the Federation announced the suspension of the Egyptian Premier League. That summer the Olympic Games to which Egypt had managed to qualify were held and Salah was one of the great stars, The Federation, seeing the stoppage of the League, decided to hold a long concentration with the players who had the chance to play them.
Basel followed Salah's skills closely and scheduled a friendly match between his reserve team and the Egyptian team. Salah only played the second half but contributed 2 goals to the victory of his selection by 4-3. The Swiss club finally got the services of the Egyptian. At the Salah Olympics, is discovered before the number of international scouts with a sublime tournament scoring 3 goals in the group stage that do not help your team to defeat Japan in the quarterfinals. Although the name of this Egyptian winger was not erased from the agenda of the great European clubs.
His first season in Europe confirms all the expectations that had been placed on him, helping Basel to revalidate the League title and reach the final of the Swiss Cup where they are defeated by Grasshoppers on penalties. But where it is really vindicated is in the Europa League with stellar performances in the three qualifying rounds that Basel manages to advance. (Zenit, Dnipro and Tottenham), above all with a spectacular match at White Hart Line. On the semi-final lap at Stamford Bridge, make the 0-1 that put Chelsea's qualification for the grand final at serious risk. During that summer, rumors suggest that Salah will join a major Premier League or Bundesliga club., but in the end no good offer reaches the Basel offices.
Season begins 2013/14 con 2 objectives: play the Champions League and play the World Cup 2014. Collaborate in the first of them with a great performance against both Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ludogorets Razgad, con 3 goals between the two heats, helping Basel qualify for the Champions League group stage after a year of absence. With his team, he makes an excellent group stage that helps the Pharaohs to finish the group with full points and Salah to rise as the great star of his team with 6 goals in as many games. Sin embargo, a black afternoon in Kumasi, destroy all Egyptian hopes. Ghana defeated by 6-1 to the Egyptians and put an end to the idea of a comeback on the lap.
Beyond his good performances in the Swiss league, what leads Chelsea to make their signing, are his two duels against the English team in the Champions League. wrong con 1 goal in each match helped the Swiss to defeat the blues in both matches although this does not help their team qualify for the Round of 16. Both Salah and the signing of Matic will help Mourinho's men to make a slightly more balanced squad, giving out two half points (Mata and De Bruyne) and accommodating the good Serbian positional midfielder and the extraordinary Egyptian winger, that here at Hanging for Football we have presented it to you.
