It is that grounding which has made him the player he is today, with the 26-year-old having never lost sight of his roots while being showered by praise and prestigious awards in the professional ranks – including the Goal Arab Player of the Year prize for 2018.
He has had to work hard – harder than most – to get to this point, with the determination which shaped him as a youngster now allowing him to thrive as a senior sensation and role model to millions.
