“There are spaces, and Mohamed Salah is on their left… Mohamed Salah: goal or no? Salaaaaaaah! Ohhhh! What is this? What is this, o Salah? Sultan of the English premier league. This is him, the star of the Egyptian game, the pride of the Arab game! Perfect! Perfect!…
…[Salah has] charmed all the Arabs, with his feet [made] of gold! My days! My days, my days! O Salah, you world class [player]! Goal of the season! Goal of the season! With his left he struck it, top bins he placed it! Top bins, top bins, no mercy! Oh my days, you are fabulous!…
…O pride of the Arabs! Give us your art, give us your madness! Their torturer, their tormenter! Roma [sit there and] inspect the damage…”
