Muhammad Salah Club career
Salah started out playing for the youth setups of local teams Ittihad Basyoun and Othmason Tanta. He names Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and Francesco Totti as his childhood idols.In 2006, he joined the youth team of Al Mokawloon Al Arab aged 14 after being spotted by a scout who had originally come to watch another child play but was distracted by Salah. Salah frequently had to miss school to make the three-hour journey to training.When Salah was 15 he was noticed by first-team manager Mohamed Radwan, who moved him to the first-team squad immediately. Salah had to be given a special diet and training program due to his muscles not being fully formed because of his young age.
Muhammad Salah Basel
He scored his first league goal a week later, the second goal in a 2–0 home win against Lausanne-Sport.Salah scored his first UEFA Europa League goal in the quarter-finals on 11 April 2013, as Basel advanced to the semi-finals by beating Tottenham Hotspur 4–1 in a penalty shoot-out after a 4–4 aggregate draw. In the semi-final on 2 May, Salah scored away to Chelsea, although Basel were beaten 5–2 on aggregate.Despite late disappointment in Europe, Basel won the 2012–13 Swiss Super League title and finished runners-up in the Swiss Cup.
