He arrived at the press conference relaxed and already very comfortable. The Egyptian pivot Mohamed Mamdouh, captain of his national team, with whom he has just win the African Cup of Nations (CAN), is now a player for the Saran Septors. For its big premiere, something heavy awaits it on the occasion of the 17th day of Starligue: the reception of PSG, at the CO’Met Arena, this Saturday, February 17.
“I love Orléans and its atmosphere”
Following the recurring injuries of Hadrien Ramond, who will end his career at the end of the season, it became urgent to recruit a pivot. The club has set its sights on Mohamed Mamdouh. “He is very comfortable. He has integrated quickly. He is an experienced player who arrives in a position where we have been suffering a little since the start of the season and who must bring us something” explains Jérémy Roussel, the Septors coach. An express adaptation to his new team, but also to his new life in Loiret. “When I arrive in a city, I like to discover its culture. I walk here a lot. I love Orléans and its atmosphere” says the player, all smiles.
A reunion with Paris Saint-Germain
If Mohamed Mamdouh discovers the Loiret, France is already familiar to him. The one who arrives from Romania and the Dinamo Bucharest club wore the colors of Aix then Montpellier between 2016 and 2019. He even became the first Egyptian to lift the Champions League in 2018. Paris is a club he has already faced several times. And he even beat him. “I signed for Montpellier in the middle of the week, just before a match once morest Paris. I arrived at the club, I played that match and we won. That’s handball. There is no big and small teams” he explains. Let’s hope that history repeats itself this Saturday at CO’Met (kick-off at 8 p.m.), in front of more than 9,000 spectators.
