Mohamed Salah would do better than Messi at the World Cup

Liverpool's Egyptian star has on many occasions been compared to the great figures of international football in order to place him in one of the elite echelons, always being a recurrent of the top by sharing and competing for several years now that status with great players of Europe, seeing some Mohamed Salah even at the level or better than Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.

At least for former footballer and now French-born coach Raymond Domenech, Mo' meets all those characteristics to be considered a star of international stature, being for the Frenchman a complete shame that Egypt has not been placed among the 32 participants in Qatar to have been able to see the attacker give his best. "If we talk about Mohamed Salah, I can only say that he is world class. It is unfortunate that he will not participate in the 2022 World Cup."

The fact that Domenech puts Mohamed Salah on a par with Messi and Mbappe, makes you think even who this footballer with that kind of resources both in his team and in selection, could easily surpass the Paris Saint-Germain jewels, as both the Argentine attacker and the Frenchman, rely heavily on their teammates, a situation that does not always end up happening at Anfield, and Egypt, with Mo' being the one who leads the group taking charge on many of the occasions.

If the Reds' player had a more competitive national team, and a more competitive team at the World Cup, which kicked off on Sunday 20 November, there would have been a lot of talk in recent days about Egypt and their chances of winning the World Cup with Mohamed Salah as their star player, surpassing even the expectations placed on Messi with the Albiceleste or Mbappé with the Gauls.

Salah is the best 

Although the statistics today place Messi as an out-and-out star who swept all before him in Spain's LaLiga, the reality is that what Mohamed Salah has done in the Premier League has been similar, although not as impressive, as he has not had the competition to force him to give that extra, with the Egyptian being underestimated on many occasions when in a one-on-one situation Salah could possibly surprise the world, with the World Cup in Qatar being the perfect scenario to have corroborated this.
