00:00Momo, hello. Welcome to our studio.
00:05I'm the new reporter, so I'll make things very difficult for you.
00:09So first, tell us about your childhood.
00:11What's your favourite memory growing up in Egypt?
00:17I think my favourite moment for me was when I was an Arab contractor in my old club.
00:24Then the coach told me, you will be tomorrow with the national team, with the first team.
00:28It was for me an unbelievable moment. I couldn't believe it.
00:32I was 16. I couldn't believe it myself. It was very good.
00:36That was good, that was very good.
00:37And what did you miss the most about Egypt? I know it's the weather, right?
00:42Yeah, the weather, but also my family, my friends.
00:45But you have your wife, your kids here.
00:47Yeah, I have my wife, my daughter, but also I miss my family and my friends.
00:52Okay, good, good, good.
00:54Were you a good school student? What was your favourite subject?
00:58I think I used to play with my friends, you know.
01:02I was not a very good student, but I used to play with my friends.
01:05Yeah, we know you're not very intelligent.
01:06Yeah, but I was thinking about only football.
01:09Then this is why, this is the reason to be like you.
01:13School, I didn't care. Just wait for football.
01:17You must have been fast at school. Did you ever think you could be a runner?
01:20No, because I had some friends, they were faster than me.
01:25I want to meet them.
01:27Sign them for me.
01:28They were very fast.
01:29Okay, so only football.
01:31Yeah, only football.
01:31Any other sports or just football?
01:33No, just football.
01:34No basketball? You have good physique for basketball.
01:36Yeah, basketball.
01:41You were playing in Egypt. Did you always think you'd end up at a big European club?
01:46Honestly, no. In Europe, no.
01:47But I always think to be, I always try to improve myself, even when I was a kid.
01:53You know, I want to play, I want to play at the top level in Egypt.
01:56But in Europe, I didn't expect this.
01:58So that was like your highest dream, to play for a national team in Egypt and that's it?
02:03Yeah, but also when I played for the first team in Egypt, I said, why didn't I play in Europe?
02:10You should play in Europe.
02:11Then when I played in Basel, then I said, oh, let's go to a bigger club.
02:15And then you got lucky, you scored two goals against Chelsea.
02:18Yeah, I got to Chelsea.
02:20Good.
02:21But lucky.
02:22Three goals.
02:23Three goals?
02:23Yeah.
02:24Oh, in two games, but one game, two games.
02:25No, three goals in four games.
02:27OK.
02:28I always scored against Chelsea.
02:29So that's more than you scored for Chelsea, but that's good.
02:33This is right.
02:34You played for...
02:35But the most important thing, I scored against you.
02:37God, no. I'm not going to tell people.
02:40I'm not going to, not against me.
02:42It was a good result, yeah.
02:43Yeah, we played with 10 men. It doesn't matter.
02:46OK.
02:46How do I say Momo is my teacher?
02:50Momo...
02:51Oh, no. I can see your smile. It's going to be difficult.
