Along with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah listed Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City as his dream teammate. Even though both these players are from rival teams, there is clearly a lot of respect between the two.
Manchester City and Liverpool have been tussling for the better part of close to 5 years now. Mohamed Salah has been the star of the Liverpool team. But, he didn’t hesitate even once to name Kevin De Bruyne as his ideal teammate.
Kevin De Bruyne is Mohamed Salah’s dream teammate
Over the course of the last six years at Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has established himself as one of the greatest players in the world. The 31-year-old has had enormous success at Anfield. He has helped the Reds win seven titles with 198 goals and 84 assists in 323 games in all competitions.
Throughout his illustrious career, the Egyptian King has shared the field with a number of legendary players, including as Didier Drogba, John Terry, Frank Lampard during his brief tenure at Chelsea, and his idol, Francesco Totti, at Roma.
Mohamed Salah made an appearance on Sky Sports’ YouTube channel and answered a lot of questions. Salah was asked, ‘Who would be your dream teammate you’ve never played with?’
The Egyptian was quick to answer and he said, ‘Messi or Ronaldo but if I pick one like in the Premier League then I’ll choose Kevin [De Bruyne]. Because he has vision. I’m sure he can find me anywhere with the ball so I would say Messi, Ronaldo and Kevin.’
These two players are the best of this generation: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. So, it is no surprise that Mohamed Salah picked them.
