Salah 'needs' goals, eyes long Chelsea career
Published in FilGoal on 10 - 03 - 2014

Mohamed Salah spoke about his ambitions with Chelsea after a 'fantastic' first month at Stamford Bridge.
In an interview with the club's magazine, the 21-year-old Egypt forward described how he feels playing for Chelsea after impressing against them with Basel.
Salah also highlighted the fact that he is eager to score his first goal, while revealing that he enjoys the Blues style of football.
Score for, not against Chelsea
"I hope I can now start to score for Chelsea, not against Chelsea," he said.
"I know it will not be easy to play every game for Chelsea because we have so many very good players in my position, but I hope to show how hard I work and then we will see.
"This move is a fantastic thing for me – going to a big team like this is fantastic for anyone – and I hope I can play here for a long time and have a good career."
Not possible
"Football in Switzerland and England is a little bit different.
"But if you were to go straight from Egypt to the Premier League, it would be too difficult – it's not possible!

Salah with Nemanja Matic on Chelsea magazine cover
"You have to take it step by step. At Basel, I played Europa League and Champions League football so I have experience of playing at this level."
Open football
"Also, the way Chelsea play – with three creative players behind the striker – is like the tactic we played at Basel, so 4-2-3-1 is normal for me – it is the same tactic.
"I can play in any of the three positions but I really like playing on the right, because I can go inside onto my left foot.
"It is fantastic because you play open games a lot of the time, and you can play open football."
London life
"London is a very nice city. Everyone told me it is fantastic and that I will love it here, and I have been learning more English as well."
Watching Chelsea as a boy
"Egyptian people love football so much," he added. "As a boy, I watched every Champions League game on the TV and saw many, many good players.
"I remember watching Chelsea play against Liverpool in the Champions League – a 4-4 draw but Chelsea went through.
"It was a really great game and it has been my dream to play in England – the Egyptian people want to see players in the Premier League and now they will see me playing at Chelsea, so there is more pressure on me!"
