5 things you didn’t know about Mohamed Salah?

#3 The controversy

Salah was criticised for this (via Egypt Independent)

The cultural differences around the world often makes it hard for people to escape their acts without results.

So when a lady presenter kissed the former Roma man on his cheeks after being awarded the Swiss League Player of the Year, he was heavily criticised for it back home in Egypt. Given that the country is quite conservative in its nature, it was actually something Salah could have foreseen.

Of the incident, Salah said: “They have spoiled my joy. They forgot the prize and concentrated on the lady kissing me.

“Anywhere I go here in Switzerland, people applaud me while my native fans criticize me,” he added. Certainly, he had a point. Also, it was the presenter who approached him for the kiss and it would have completely rude if he blocked her like that in front of everyone.
