Here are the details of the conversation as follows:
– How do you see your future with the Alexandrian Federation, especially that you are linked to a contract until 2025?
The name of the Alexandrian Federation is enough to introduce me to the public, and I hope that the next step will be professionalism.
Did you receive offers last summer?
Indeed, I received offers, but they did not reach the official, and I am also thinking of the right offer for me and the club.
– What do you think in terms of professionalism, whether European or Arab?
I’m only thinking of going out to Europe.
– In the last period, the administration of the Alexandrian Union adhered to Marwan Attia, do you think that the administration can stick to your continuity?
There was talk from the beginning of last season, specifically in the state of coach Hossam Hassan, and my transfer was rejected, but an agreement might happen in the coming period.
– Speaking of transfers, did Al-Ahly or Zamalek officials talk to you?
There was some talk with my agent, but no official offers were sent to the club.
Is it from Al-Ahly or Zamalek?
Monday.
– Do you think of moving to Al-Ahly or Zamalek?
My goal is not professionalism, also I am attached to the club and the public, and I think it is better to go professional.
– How did you get hired from the youth team to join the first team?
My promotion to the first team through Talaat Youssef, he had confidence in me, especially as he relied on me in a difficult time besides the presence of many names.
– We see your participation in more than one center.. What is your main position?
I played in 9 positions, I started in the center of the midfield and then moved to the center of the defender and through this position I joined the Egyptian Olympic team.
What positions did you play in?
In the beginning, Hossam Hassan used me in the first season in more than one position due to the large number of injuries, and in my original or primary position as a winger, I scored three goals from three matches, and at that time I received offers, but I was surprised by my absence from 8 matches for no reasons.
– Has there been communication between you and Hossam Hassan to talk regarding the reasons for your absence?
No, I did not speak, but I asked to leave in the January transfers, but Mohamed Moselhi, the club’s president, stuck to my continuity.
– Were there disagreements with Hossam Hassan?
No, on the contrary, Hossam Hassan trusted me very much.
– How do you feel regarding your absence from participation?
What matters to me is to prove my talent, and I used to shine in every position I participated in.
– What is the most prominent position you have been exposed to with the union?
The defender position I thought it was impossible to participate in it, and suddenly I found myself before the clearing Egypt match that I would play in this position, and we succeeded in winning (4-0), and Hossam Hassan relied on me once more in this position in the Zamalek match.
– How do you see the status of the Alexandrian Federation in the new season?
I do not think that the conditions of last season will be repeated with the team this season, the new season will be different.
– By moving to the Olympic team, do you think that this generation is going through pressure due to the absence of most of them from participating in the league?
No, on the contrary, most of the national team players participate in the Egyptian We League.
– Finally, a message to the fans of the Alexandrian Federation?
We have a great responsibility, and we are motivated to offer a different and better season.
