Pyramids, squash and famous names — what Salah and Marmoush said about Egypt
Mohamed Salah & Omar Marmoush spoke about Egypt during Premier League YouTube chat with players from the league.
The Premier League held special conversation on its official YouTube channel with several players from across the league.
Among them were Egypt stars Mohamed Salah of Liverpool and Omar Marmoush of Manchester City.
Players were asked light questions about their home countries giving fans closer look at their personalities away from the pitch.
When asked where they would take teammates visiting Egypt, Marmoush answered without hesitation:
the Pyramids. Salah agreed but added second choice saying he would also take visitors to the Grand Egyptian Museum which has recently opened.
The questions continued beyond football. Asked what Egypt is famous for apart from the sport, Marmoush chose squash, a game where Egypt has enjoyed major global success.
Marmoush also asked to name the best club in Egypt. He picked Wadi Degla, the club where he began his career.
On the question of the most famous person in Egypt, Salah surprised many. He replied that it was not him and instead mentioned Sir Magdi Yacoub, the world-known heart surgeon.
The interview ended on friendly note. When asked to name the best Egyptian player, Marmoush said he would leave it to the people.
Salah smiled, joked that he did not want to choose himself and then stood up from his seat drawing laughs.
