🚨 Thierry Henry on Mohamed Salah's first World Cup goal:
🗣️ "This was much more than just another goal for Mohamed Salah. You could see it in the celebration.
The way he sprinted towards the bench, the emotion on his face, the embrace with the coaching staff - that wasn't the reaction of a player who had simply found the net. That was a man living a dream he had waited years to experience.
People will talk about the goal and the assist, but what impressed me most was his maturity. He didn't need to dominate every touch or force the game. He picked the right moments, made the right decisions and delivered when his country needed him most.
That's the sign of a world-class player. Influence isn't always about touching the ball the most; it's about making the biggest moments count.
Sometimes people ask why Salah is adored in Egypt and why Liverpool supporters hold him in such high regard. Nights like this provide the answer.
He represents commitment, humility and relentless hard work. Every success he enjoys has been earned through sacrifice, consistency and an unwavering desire to improve.
This wasn't just Mohamed Salah scoring his first World Cup goal.
It was the reward for years of dedication, and a moment that millions of Egyptians will never forget."
