Mo Salah is a better human being than he is a football player. And hes one of the best football players in the world.
Youd be hard-pressed to find a professional athlete in any sport less affected by their success or status than Mo, which is incredible because I cant imagine the kind of pressure that comes with the intensity of adoration he receives. Mo is an iconic figure for Egyptians, Scousers and Muslims the world over, and yet he always comes across as a humble, thoughtful, funny man who isnt taking any of this too seriously.
As a footballer, he plays with an infectious joy. Ive always wondered what it would feel like to be able to play as well as him, and watching his face light up after he does something incredible, you get the reassuring sense that its exactly as fun as youd want it to be.
