Had dinner with my cousins who were visiting from Oxford yesterday and of course we end up talking football. My cousin is pretty smart, well traveled and has relatives on his side in Egypt. Oh, and he's a Man U fan.
So, my cousin suddenly goes "you know that Salah is going to leave, right?"
"What tells you that?"
He goes "did you see how he celebrated the goal against Man U?"
"For a guy who used to be humble, to suddenly take off his shirt and show his abs and shaved chest, to me it looks like he's starting to care more about himself than the team".
He adds, "did you also notice that he's a little bit more selfish now?"
I said that I've never seen it from that perspective before, but that he could have a point.
My cousins are muslim as well so they mentioned the Christmas tree thing as well and "Mané's" tantrum.
So, has Salah changed?
