When I was in Egypt I also scored some good goals." “With the national team I think I scored 21 or 22 goals, not the best but very important for me also." “In order to qualify [for the World Cup] we need to be strong. We need to be more together. We have to believe in ourselves and we have to fight. It's not easy to go to the World Cup. I know its difficult but it is not impossible.

I think we can do it.” The ex-Arab Contractors did not forget to mention Roma captain and teammate Francesco Totti among his childhood heroes, who included Zinedine Zidane and Brazil's Ronaldo. “In football I had many [favourite] players. Zidane was Zidane. Ronaldo, Francesco also who played before I was born!
