LONDON: Liverpool fans have good reason to be happy at the moment. Their side are going well in the Premier League and are almost certainly assured of a Champions League quarter-final spot after hammering FC Porto in Portugal on Wednesday.
Plus, they have at the helm of their team the Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah, whose unbelievable tally of goals this season has brought good times back to the Kop.
Liverpool supporters have several chants for the player they have dubbed the “Egyptian King” and they were in five voice ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Portuguese champions, as they created a brand new chant for the Arab striker set to the tune of Dodgy’s 1996 hit ‘Good Enough.’
The lyrics for the Salah version: “Mo Salah-la la la la la.
“If he’s good enough for you, he’s good enough for me.
“If he scores another few then I’ll be Muslim too.
“If he’s good enough for you, he’s good enough for me,
“He's sitting in a mosque, that’s where I want to be.”
The song clearly had the desired effect as Salah scored during the Reds’ 5-0 win over Porto, in the process scoring his 30th goal in all competitions this season.
It quickly became a big hit with fans on social media, too. @AssedBaig said: “The new Mo Salah song. I’m dead. Liverpool fans just killed off all the Islamophobes with this latest one.”
Jeff Keating (@kopite096) joked: “New Mo Salah song, he’s now up to as many European cups that we’ve won. YNWA.”
And even the player himself reacted with three heart-eye emojis when a Twitter user sent him the video of the song.
