For years, Mohamed Salah has dazzled the football world with his brilliance, yet respect hasn’t always come easily. Despite season after season of elite performances, his name is often missing from discussions about the world’s best.

Yaya Touré, a legend in his own right, has had enough of the disrespect. Speaking passionately, he defended Salah’s legacy, emphasizing the Egyptian’s consistency at the top level.

“I don’t understand people who talk about football sometimes,” Touré said. “Salah has been the best for a long time, but people still discredit him. If you ask pure football people, they know what he has done for the game.”

Touré also called out the modern tendency to overhype players after just one good season while ignoring those who maintain excellence over time. Salah, he argues, deserves far more respect than he gets.

So, is Salah’s lack of full recognition due to bias, or is it simply how today’s football media operates?
