🚨 Mohamed Salah on the difference between the Turkish Super Lig and the Premier League:
🎙️ Interviewer: “Mo, you’ve played in the Premier League for years and now you’re experiencing Turkish football. What’s the biggest difference?
Salah: “The Premier League is incredibly demanding. The speed, physicality and quality are exceptional. Every game is difficult, and you have to be mentally and physically ready every single week. But Turkish football has something different. The passion, the emotions and the connection between supporters and their clubs are unbelievable.”
Interviewer: “Has Trabzonspor’s atmosphere surprised you?
Salah: “Honestly, yes. I’ve played at Anfield, and I know what it feels like when an entire stadium is behind you. But here in Trabzon, I feel that same connection. The supporters don’t just come to watch football; they live for this club. Sometimes the noise, the songs and the emotions remind me of those special nights at Anfield.”
Interviewer: “Are you saying Trabzonspor supporters can match Liverpool fans?
Salah: “I’m saying the passion is there. You cannot measure love for a club by comparing stadiums or leagues. Liverpool gave me some of the greatest moments of my life, and I’ll never forget Anfield. But Trabzonspor supporters have welcomed me with a love I never expected. I feel at home here.”
Interviewer: “Do you think people underestimate the Turkish league?
Salah: “Maybe some people judge it without experiencing it. The Premier League has incredible quality, but that doesn’t mean other leagues have nothing to offer. Turkish football has talented players, difficult away grounds and supporters who can make every match feel like a final. You cannot dismiss that.”
Salah: “I came here to win, to make history and to give these supporters something unforgettable. I want children in Trabzon to grow up remembering what we achieved together. That’s more important to me than proving anything to people who think I should never have left England.”
