أكد النجم المصري محمد صلاح، مهاجم نادي ليفربول الإنجليزي، أن رحلته مع كرة القدم لم تصل بعد إلى محطتها الأخيرة، مشيرا إلى أنه لا يزال يملك الكثير من الشغف والطموح والرغبة في مواصلة تقديم الأفضل، رغم السنوات الطويلة التي قضاها في أعلى مستويات المنافسة، والنجاحات التي حققها على الصعيدين الفردي والجماعي.
وجاءت تصريحات صلاح خلال مقابلة مطولة مع شبكة «سكاي سبورتس»، أجراها معه نجم مانشستر يونايتد السابق غاري نيفيل، ودار فيها الحديث حول محطات من مسيرته، ومواقفه المفضلة، ورؤيته المهنية لما بعد اعتزال كرة القدم.
وفي أحد الأسئلة التي بدت وكأنها اختباراً للمشاعر الكروية بعيداً عن الولاء التقليدي، سئل صلاح عن ملعبه المفضل في الدوري الإنجليزي بعيداً عن «أنفيلد»، معقل ليفربول، ليرد بابتسامة واضحة: «في البريميرليغ، سأختار أولد ترافورد». الإجابة، التي خيمت عليها لحظة من الصمت المفاجئ، أربكت غاري نيفيل للحظات، قبل أن يكتفي بالقول: «حسنا، لن أسألك لماذا»، وهو ما بدا كأنه اعتراف غير مباشر بما يمثله صلاح من عقدة كروية تاريخية في وجه مانشستر يونايتد، خاصة أنه سجل في شباك «الشياطين الحمر» 16 هدفاً، وصنع 6 أخرى، في سلسلة من العروض التي ثبّتت مكانته كأحد أكثر اللاعبين تأثيراً أمام الغريم الأزلي.
وعندما طُلب منه اختيار الهدف الأغلى في مسيرته مع ليفربول، لم يتردد صلاح في استحضار لحظة حاسمة من موسم تتويج «الريدز» بلقب الدوري الإنجليزي، بعد غياب طويل. قال: «هدفي في مرمى توتنهام خلال المباراة الأخيرة من ذلك الموسم هو الأغلى بالنسبة لي. ليس فقط لقيمته الفنية، بل لما حمله من مشاعر استثنائية. لقد كانت لحظة خاصة للغاية، شعرت فيها برد فعل الجماهير، وشعرت بأنهم يقدرون كل ما بذلته من جهد طوال الموسم». وكان صلاح قد احتفل بذلك الهدف بطريقة غير تقليدية، حين التقط صورة «سيلفي» وسط الجماهير، في لقطة تحوّلت إلى رمز للعلاقة العميقة التي تجمعه بمحبي ليفربول، وترجمت حجم التأثير الذي تركه في نفوسهم، ليس فقط كلاعب، بل كأيقونة ملهمة.
وفي الجزء الذي تعلق بحياته ما بعد كرة القدم، بدا صلاح متحفظاً في التفاصيل، لكنه كشف عن ميل واضح تجاه عالم الأعمال، مؤكداً أنه لا يرى نفسه في مسار التدريب أو التحليل الرياضي. وقال: «لا أعلم على وجه التحديد ما الذي سأفعله بعد الاعتزال، لكنني أميل إلى ريادة الأعمال. هذا المجال يجذبني، وربما يكون هو المسار الذي أسلكه مستقبلاً».
وفي ختام المقابلة، حرص صلاح على أن يوجه رسالة واضحة ومباشرة لكل من يعتقد أن سنواته الذهبية قد ولّت، قائلاً بحزم: «ما زلت أملك الكثير لأقدمه. هذه ليست النهاية. الطموح ما زال في ذروته، والرغبة في النجاح لا تزال قوية كما كانت في البدايات». وبهذه العبارة، يغلق صلاح باب التأويلات حول مستقبله، ويعيد تأكيد حضوره كلاعب لا يزال في قلب المنافسة، وكنجم يرفض أن تنطفئ أضواؤه مهما امتدت السنوات.
لم أصل لـ«النهاية».. وهدفي في شباك توتنهام الأغلى في مسيرتي..

The Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, forward for Liverpool FC, confirmed that his journey with football has not yet reached its final destination, noting that he still possesses a great deal of passion, ambition, and desire to continue delivering his best, despite the long years he has spent at the highest levels of competition and the successes he has achieved both individually and collectively.
These statements came during an extensive interview with "Sky Sports," conducted by former Manchester United star Gary Neville, where they discussed various milestones from his career, his favorite moments, and his professional vision for life after retiring from football.
In one question that seemed like a test of football emotions beyond traditional loyalty, Salah was asked about his favorite stadium in the Premier League aside from "Anfield," Liverpool's home ground. He responded with a clear smile: "In the Premier League, I would choose Old Trafford." The answer, which was met with a moment of surprising silence, momentarily puzzled Gary Neville, before he simply said: "Well, I won't ask you why," which seemed like an indirect acknowledgment of what Salah represents as a historical football challenge to Manchester United, especially since he has scored 16 goals against the "Red Devils" and provided 6 assists in a series of performances that solidified his status as one of the most influential players against their eternal rival.
When asked to choose the most valuable goal in his career with Liverpool, Salah did not hesitate to recall a decisive moment from the season when the "Reds" won the Premier League title after a long absence. He said: "My goal against Tottenham in the last match of that season is the most valuable to me. Not only for its technical value but for the exceptional emotions it carried. It was a very special moment; I felt the reaction of the fans, and I felt that they appreciated all the effort I put in throughout the season." Salah celebrated that goal in an unconventional way, taking a "selfie" with the fans, a moment that became a symbol of the deep relationship he shares with Liverpool supporters and reflected the impact he has left on them, not just as a player but as an inspiring icon.
In the part concerning his life after football, Salah appeared reserved about the details but revealed a clear inclination towards the business world, confirming that he does not see himself on a path of coaching or sports analysis. He said: "I don't know exactly what I will do after retirement, but I lean towards entrepreneurship. This field attracts me, and it may be the path I take in the future."
At the end of the interview, Salah made sure to send a clear and direct message to anyone who thinks his golden years are over, stating firmly: "I still have a lot to offer. This is not the end. The ambition is still at its peak, and the desire for success is as strong as it was in the beginning." With this statement, Salah closes the door on speculations about his future and reaffirms his presence as a player still at the heart of competition and as a star who refuses to let his lights dim, no matter how many years pass.
