Speaking via TNT Sports alongside Steven Gerrard, the Egyptian opened up on what truly drove him to become one of the club’s modern greats.

Salah reveals the mindset behind Liverpool greatness

When asked about the ‘secret’ to his success, Salah didn’t hesitate, making it clear that everything came down to one core trait.

“I would say the desire.”

The forward then took it further, explaining how his ambitions evolved almost immediately after arriving at Anfield.

“I really want to succeed. I really want to be remembered in this club. After the first year, I would say I want people to remember me as if I’m one of the best.

“And somehow it got into my head I want people to remember me more than you [Gerrard], more than Kenny [Dalglish]. I’m not trying to be rude! They will not. But it doesn’t matter.”

That honesty is striking, because it’s not arrogance, it’s the mentality required to reach the very top at a club where standards are defined by icons like Kenny Dalglish.
