Ahmed Hassan said that Anderlecht's Belgian league title victory helped him overcome his medical situation. A feverish Hassan helped pave the way for Anderlecht's tremendous 6-0 win over FC Brussels with a 7th minute strike on Saturday before being stretched off the pitch in second-half when he passed out. “I'm glad I took part and scored in the game that helped Anderlecht retain the league title,” the Egypt skipper told FilGoal.com on Sunday. Hassan was suffering from a fever over the past week and was no set to start against Brussels.
"I wasn't supposed to play," he said. "I had a sore throat and my temperature was 40 degrees Celsius. "Even the coach asked me to sit out the game but I couldn't, I knew that my team needed me," Hassan added. But the former Besiktas midfielder said that he suffered a lot before and throughout the game before being substituted midway through the second half. "I had to take a lot of medication before the game, and also during half-time." "After Biglia's penalty I fainted and I was immediately substituted, but thank God I regained consciousness as soon as I entered the dressing room."
