An old colleague of Mohamed Salah: He only had 10 pounds to go home

The pioneers of social networking sites shared an old picture of the player Mohamed Salah and his colleagues, while they were at the railway station waiting for the train, during their period of playing with the Egyptian Arab Contractors.

Samir Zero, a friend of the Liverpool star, spoke about the scenes of the famous image spread on social media of Salah and his colleagues at a train station.

Zero stated in an interview with the Egyptian newspaper, Al-Watan, that the photo was while moving to Assiut Governorate to meet the Assiut Petroleum Team, and was taken on the platform of the Egypt train station in Ramses Square in preparation for travel to Assiut.

Zero explained that this photo was taken in 2006, pointing out that they were at the beginning of their lives, as none of them had but a small amount of money that would guarantee his return to his home only, saying: "We had very symbolic expenses that amounted to 10 pounds to go to your home."

Salah's former colleague indicated that Salah, after this match, which ended with the contractors winning with a clean goal or a draw, could not return to his home, given that they arrived in Cairo late.

Salah went to sleep with his friend Ahmed Saad, because he could not return to his village in Gharbia Governorate.

Zero confirmed that they did not expect Mohamed Salah to reach this position, but he praised his diligence, which has always distinguished him: “His longevity works on himself, that he is in a respectable place, and our Lord has generously given him his generosity,” stressing Mohamed Salah’s humility and his constant communication with his teammates and his assistance to them. He responded to their requests and always attended their weddings.

He continued: "Salah was the most gifted one in the group, and his longevity is respectable, and he was with us in the name of Morsi, in the name of Ranja, Ahmed Saad and Al-Nani, and Mohamed Salah asked us and spoke to us, and the first was in continuous communication.
