There is a new drill sergeant in town, and his name is Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool’s social media posted a video showing the boys getting pumped at the AXA Training Centre. But here’s the twist: the original workout playlist wasn’t quite hitting the right vibe.
Enter Mo Salah. Apparently unimpressed with the tunes, Mo takes charge and asks the iconic question: “What’s wrong with the music here?! Guys!” Then he proceeds to drop the ultimate gym playlist – an all-Eminem banger.
Then the video cuts to scenes of the entire team – from Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk to Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz – crushing their workouts with Eminem classics like “Without Me”, “The Real Slim Shady”, “Lose Yourself”, and “Love The Way You Lie” with Rihanna.

This isn’t Mo’s first foray into the world of Slim Shady. Last year, he surprised his teammates by choosing “Lose Yourself” as his top pick for their Singapore tour playlist.
“Trent, have you heard what he went for!?” 😳

It looks like Mo has some serious lyrical appreciation, and his taste seems to be contagious — the whole team is feeling the Slim Shady energy.
The internet is loving this unexpected crossover. With Eminem blasting in the gym and Mo Salah leading the charge, Liverpool’s training sessions are about to get even more intense (and entertaining). This might just be the secret weapon they need to dominate the pitch.
