October 8…a date recorded in the memory of the leader of the Pharaohs, but why?"
On a day that bears the memory of glory, the eighth of October returns to write a new chapter in the career of the captain of the Pharaohs and the English Liverpool player, the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, whose name seems to have become associated with joy and victory.
On this day in 2017, Salah lit up the stands of Burj Al Arab Stadium when he scored two goals against Congo, and the match ended “ 2-1” For the benefit of the Pharaohs to lead the Egyptian national team to the World Cup finals after an absence of 28 years, in an immortal moment in the memory of the Egyptians.

The remarkable irony is that Salah’s two goals on both occasions gave him the title of top scorer in the qualifiers, so that today he becomes the all-time top scorer in the World Cup qualifiers with 20 goals, a number that places him among the continent’s legends. The brown one.
Despite all these achievements, the only problem remains that Salah has not won any championship with the Egyptian national team so far, despite his contribution to 97 goals in 106 matches, and scoring in all the tournaments in which he participated.
Mohamed Salah is no longer dismissed as the captain of the Egyptian national team, whom club fans describe as Liverpool are only five goals away from the Egyptian king, short of the title of the all-time top scorer of the Pharaohs.
Mohamed Salah still has the opportunity to record the legendary end of his international career, as winning the next African Cup of Nations title will be the coronation that the leader of the Pharaohs deserves, and the moment that may make him the greatest in the history of Egyptian football.
