ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY Following the Liverpool Legends clash at Anfield, former Borussia Dortmund forward Mohamed Zidan offered a deeply personal and honest assessment of the situation, speaking to The Football Historian about what the Egyptian King means to both club and country.
Zidan suggests Salah timing may be right View this post on Instagram A post shared by Peter Kenny Jones – The Football Historian (@thefootball. historian) Zidan, who briefly shared the international stage with Salah back in 2012, made it clear just how significant the forward’s achievements have been, not just for us but for an entire region. Speaking to The Football Historian , he said: “As Egyptians we are proud of what Mo has achieved.
He achieved something that no one in Egypt did and in the Arab countries. “So I’m sure that the Liverpool fans value what he did, he had nine great seasons, he won everything, he did everything for the club and for the people. “It might be time for him, he’s the one who knows best what is the best decision for him to do.
” That honesty will resonate, because it doesn’t diminish anything Salah has done, it simply recognises the natural cycle of elite football careers. Legacy secured as Liverpool legend What stands out even more in Zidan’s comments is the emphasis on how Salah will be remembered. The former Dortmund man added: “And it’s good that people will always remember him with the good things.
“So it’s better maybe to say goodbye and leave and then people will always remember him in a good way. “He will always be a legend in Liverpool and he will always be a legend in the Premier League. I’m happy for him and what he has done so far and as an Egyptian I’m proud, of course.
