Muhammad Naji “Gedo” appeared in the first television interview since he finally retired from football a few days ago, and spoke of many of the scenes of his wonderful career.
Gedo spoke about Ontime Sports 2 and recalled his beautiful memories with the Egypt team in 2010, as well as his professional experience in Hull City, England.
Gedo also mentioned his big crisis with Zamalek in 2010, and behind the scenes of his departure from Al-Ahly after 5 years.
All of the following are provided by Gedo:
“My wife did not know about my retirement decision and was surprised that it was trending on Twitter after my tweet announced the decision. I cried after writing that tweet.”
“If someone had told me when I was young that I would achieve all these achievements, I would have said I was joking.
“My wish was to finish my career at the Horn of Africa Club, but circumstances did not allow it.”
“People don’t know that I joined the national team in 2005 when Hassan Shehata called me up for the Uruguay friendly match (referring to Alexandria in 2006), but I did not participate that day. I also joined on the sidelines of the Zambia match camp in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers and I didn’t take part either. “
“I was filming on the rocks for years with Al Ittihad in Alexandria, and people did not know me because not all the games were broadcast as is the case now.”
“My father is very kind and wanted me to join Al-Ahly.”
“I did not expect to make the list for the 2010 African Cup of Nations and traveled to Hosh Issa to spend several days with my mother, whom I had not seen for a while, and I was surprised by a call from Abdulaziz Tawfiq telling me that I am in the field of the championship “.
“I couldn’t score in the Benin match because Imad Mutaib and Mohamed Zidan refused to pass the ball to the point that Hassan Shehata got very emotional between the two halves of the match. It was the first time I saw him so upset.”
“The players were very happy in 2010, when Algeria qualified against Ivory Coast, they had the feeling that (they missed) Omdurman’s match. On the other hand, the Algerian team entered the stadium in a somewhat condescending way and thought that I would win comfortably. “
(Jokingly): “Hossam Ghali without immunity was torturing us, so what will he do now after parliamentary immunity?”
“What happened in the 2010 Zamalek crisis is that Hossam Hassan was his coach at the time, and I knew him because we were in the union together. I went to sit with him and told him that I signed a contract with the union.”
“After that, the union documented my contract and that’s why I was waiting for Zamalek to negotiate with the union to buy me, but Zamalek took advantage of my signature and didn’t walk through the door like Al-Ahly did, and wanted to get in trouble.”
“My intention was that if the association documented my contract in the Football Association, then negotiations would take place between Zamalek and Al-Ittihad, but instead Zamalek presented the contract that I signed.”
“The problem was not between Al-Ahly and Zamalek, but between Al-Ittihad and Zamalek, and at that time the Football Association decided on the matter and said that I have the right to Al-Ittihad of Alexandria.”
“My wish was to play for my family.”
“I trusted Hazem Imam, Hussam, and Ibrahim at the time, but it’s still an experience I learned from.”
“Zamalek said that I received 1.2 million pounds after I signed and submitted a paper for that, and that is not true.”
In the second leg of the 2012 CAF Champions League final, the Esperance fans were celebrating their promotion to the Club World Cup and they raised a large banner with the Japanese flag in the stadium, but we won with two goals and wasted plenty of chances, including the penalty Abu Trika missed. “.
“I wanted to continue for a longer period at Al-Ahly, but the injury prevented it.”
“After losing the league in 2015, Al-Ahly decided to cancel my contract with Sherif Abdel-Fadil. I don’t know who made the decision or the reason. Perhaps it was the technical director, Fathi Mabrouk, but I wanted to leave in a better way than that, given what I presented. “
“When I moved on loan to Hull City and Ahmed Fathy, two days later the team was traveling to London to face Brighton, so Steve Bruce asked us to stay with the team to get used to the atmosphere.”
“Just before the game, I found him telling me that he would be on the list, so I told him that we did not agree on that, and he told me that I would stay on the bench just because the list is missing a player.”
“Suddenly in the second half I found him asking me to warm up, then he put me inside and it was very cold, he was not used to playing in this cold weather and we lost with an unanswered goal. After the game, Bruce called Mamdouh Eid to ask him, “Find your money,” so he told him to leave it alone to adjust. “
“In the next game we were in our stadium, I came in as a substitute and scored a goal, and then I became the starting point and helped the team up.”
“After renewing my loan with Hull, it was not a successful period because I had a broken foot and I was absent for 4 months. In need “.
“I gave up half a million pounds of my quotas with Al-Ahly in 2012 because the club was going through a financial crisis, and most of the players did too.”
“If Abu Trika and Amr Zaki had been present in 2010, my chance to join the list of national teams would have been difficult because they occupy the same position.”
“Mido was angry about his exclusion in 2010 and he was not angry about my attachment.”
“Did Zamalek ask me after I left Al-Ahly? It was not strong negotiations. A players agent sat down with me, but I rejected the idea. I felt that the issue would not be resolved, especially since the Zamalek fans were angry with me afterwards. he didn’t want to anger the Al-Ahly fans either. “
“Zamalekawi player, did you want to play with him? Hazem Imam.”
Mostafa Mohamed is the best striker in Egypt.
“Garrido is the toughest coach I have ever worked with. His treatment with the players was very bad. He is always upset and feels that a conspiracy is being hatched against him and that there are those who want him to leave, when he sees two people speaking, he thinks they are talking about him. “
