For someone who has never been into football, I am way too intrigued by Mohamed Salah. Some might even say I have a crush on him, but labels don’t matter at this point. So I was wondering what would Mohamed Salah be like if he were originally Lebanese. I asked around and as expected, the responses were nothing less than hilarious.
1. He would be the Phoenician Emperor instead of the Egyptian King – @AhmaddOssaily
2. Lebanese people will try to make it very clear on social media that Mohamed Salah is not Arab – @ahmadf_o
4. He would be late to practice because he’s always stuck in traffic – @Mhmoud_Mrt
5. He would speak in 3 languages in every press conference – @ahmaddossaily
6. MO SALAH! MO SALAH! A GIFT FROM ALLAH HE CAME FROM LEBANON TO LIVERPOOL HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT DYING HE DRIVES AS IF HE’S FLYING THE LADIES ARE ALWAYS CRYING SHOUTING THE NAME OF THE PHOENICIAN KIIIING MO SALAH! MO SALAH! HE’S ALWAYS SCORING… IT’S ALMOST BORING DAWRA IS HIS FAVORITE PLACE FOR EXPLORING WE CAN’T STOP ADORING THE PHOENICIAN KIIING – @OmarTamo19
7. The Lebanese economy would benefit greatly as people would like to come and visit Tripoli, Mohamad Salah’s hometown, where there are posters of him… uncomfortably hugging Saad El Hariri – @ahmadf_o
8. He would probably be a lot less athletic because of his arguile obsession
9. Lebanon will finally make it to the World Cup – @ahmadf_o
But then…
10. Lebanon will crash out of the World Cup and Lebanese people will point all types of fingers at each other – @ahmadf_o
11. He would have gotten in a fight with Sergio Ramos after the shoulder injury, while yelling shaklak ma bta3rif ma3 meen 3am tehke
12. He would celebrate his goals and awards with fireworks and gunshots – @ahmaddossaily
Although Mohamed Salah is commonly known for being humble and down to Earth
13. Ken aktar insen sheyef halo, ken fakkar halo l ossa kella – @KamelTabbara
14. He’d be showing off his money and his car – in true Lebanese men fashion – @kingmomo_11
