Sprite Egypt Salutes Mo Salah, Pepsi Responds
A new happy story for the Egyptian player Mohamed Salah has been written after scoring his 6th goal with Chelsea in London’s derby against Arsenal.
Mohamed Salah has rocked Chelsea on social media during his transfer in Jan, as Egyptians invaded the blues facebook page with pro-comments supporting Salah in his journey with the London club.

The ultimate winner is “Chelsea”
Chelsea knew it from the beginning, they got prepared quickly and very well, Chelsea knew that Mohamed isn’t a normal football player, he will bring millions of Egyptian fans to the London club online, so that Chelsea made their mind fast and hired an Egyptian agency whom is currently managing the global Facebook page in Arabic.
March 2014, Chelsea has 1.3 million Egyptians likes, FYI, Egypt comes third after Indonesia and India in terms of number of fans on Facebook
