Mo Salah breaks Egypt’s all-time scoring record with 70 goals

Mohamed Salah's arrival at Trabzonspor has marked a new chapter for the Egyptian football superstar, who has been living up to the adoration he has received since joining the Super Liga side. Despite a frustrating time at Liverpool, Salah's newfound success at Trabzonspor has been impressive, scoring nine goals in 11 Super Lig matches and providing three assists.

The 34-year-old's impact was evident in their thrilling 4-0 victory over Galatasaray, with Salah netting a hat-trick and assisting the other goal. Trabzonspor's manager, Thomas Reis, praised Salah's contribution, stating, "Having a player of his class in your ranks is a privilege." Salah's stellar performance has helped Trabzonspor secure a six-game winning streak, bringing them to second place, just three points behind leaders Galatasaray.

As Salah embarks on international duty, Egypt's national team faces a new era with the departure of Hossam Hassan, who was dismissed due to his negative comments about the team and goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy. Ali Maher, appointed as Hassan's successor, acknowledged Salah's importance to the national team, stating, "Mohamed Salah is the best thing that has happened to Egyptian football."
