False 10: You’ll never make such a legacy alone like Mo did

“I want to win something for this club.”It sounded simple at the time. Almost too simple.Mohamed Salah arrived at Liverpool in 2017 without noise, without guarantees, carrying little more than pace, a left foot, a bit of disappointment following a woeful Chelsea spell, and a sentence that would only make sense years later.Some players pass through clubs, and there are those rare ones who bend them, reshape them, leave fingerprints so deep that even time struggles to erase them.people just blindly follow twitter narratives unfortunately pic.twitter.com/piO5OLjdx4 https://t.co/h2K5CrHYnF— 🖤 (@fytbvro) March 26, 2026 Salah did not simply play for the Reds. He became a part of its modern mythology, quietly at first, almost deceptively so, and then all at once, like a storm you thought you understood until it was already too late.When he arrived from AS Roma in 2017, there was curiosity, maybe even cautious worry, especially because of that unsuccessful Chelsea episode. What followed was no..

OPINION: How private investment will benefit WRC Safari Rally

On Sunday, 15 March, President William Ruto announced that the government would step back from funding the Safari Rally.While for many this marked the end of an era, I view it as a possible beginning of a more sustainable and accountable future for one of Kenya’s most iconic sporting events.For years, the Safari Rally, part of the prestigious World Rally Championship, has been a source of national pride, global attention, and economic activity.Download our Mozzart Sport app for more newsBut as with many state-funded ventures, questions around efficiency, accountability, and optimal use of resources have lingered in the background. The shift toward private sector control, therefore, seems more like a structural reset.At its core, the private sector operates on a fundamentally different model from government. It is driven by results, sustained by performance, and scrutinised by stakeholders who demand value for money. In such an environment, every shilling must be justified. Waste is bad..

Chelsea fans, do you recognise cyclist who successfully finished 167km race?

There was a time when 90 minutes felt like enough for Eden Hazard.Now, apparently, it takes 167 kilometres.The former Chelsea and Real Madrid playmaker marked the completion of a demanding ride in Mallorca in the most Hazard way possible – by grabbing a beer and emptying it in front of the camera, somewhere between exhaustion and satisfaction.🇪🇸🚴 Eden Hazard completed a 225km cycling event in Mallorca and celebrated with a beer. 🍺 pic.twitter.com/r6LIZm8aIG— CentreGoals. (@centregoals) March 28, 2026 This is what life after football looks like for Hazard. Not entirely detached from the game, he still appears at charity events, still steps onto familiar pitches from time to time, but no longer defined by it either.Cycling has quietly become part of that new rhythm, and Mallorca was just the latest example.Before that, there was Mont Ventoux – a climb that does not need introduction to anyone even loosely familiar with cycling. Hazard took it on alongside his brothers, trading bursts of ..
