Felipe Luis, a Flamengo player and former Chelsea defender, explained that Mohamed Salah, the star of the Egyptian national team, was very shining in blue training when he was a player with the team.
The duo joined the ranks of Chelsea in 2014, when Salah wore the Chelsea shirt without achieving the success he had achieved with any team he had played for in his professional journey.
And Lewis recalled that he was not the only disappointing alternative for Chelsea from Jose Mourinho at this time, and said, “In training, Mohamed Salah was like Messi.”
“It is a pity not to play with him any longer,” the Brazilian said in comments highlighted by the Daily Mail.
He continued, “When Salah moved to Fiorentina, I asked him why he left Chelsea and he said he needed to play more.”
He added, “I felt at the time that he had a good mentality. He did not leave Chelsea in search of money or win more, but rather he left to prove that he can do well.”
After leaving Chelsea, Salah moved to Fiorentina in the last hours of the 2015 winter transfer window, and from there to Rome in the summer of the same year.
After brilliant two seasons with Roma, the Egyptian international joined Liverpool to start an unforgettable career with the Reds, as he won the European Champions League, European Super Cup, Club World Cup and the English League, with many individual awards.
Luis, 35, left Atletico Madrid in 2014, and after a single season at Chelsea, he returned to Rojiblancos.
In 2019, he joined the Brazilian Flamengo.
