Gone with the wind!!


No, i am not going to talk about the novel. in fact, what has gone with the wind was the best goal keeper in Africa essam el hadary who “left” his club al ahly secretly to join fc sion in Switzerland. with all controversies around the issue , i learned a lot of things. also latest updates of our immigrant birds.
i think that fc sion has gained popularity in egypt more than it enjoys in Switzerland itself. its name was the central issue in all sport pages in Egyptian news papers, also you could find people talking about the club and el hadary’s escape. after ahly’s match with el masry in the Egyptian league, every thing was fine until the next morning when el hadary decided to take the plane flying to Switzerland to sign for fc sion club for 1.5 million euro. he didn’t tell anyone at the club or even his friends.he just took his wife and went there leaving people thinking what? why?.
el hadary made advantage of the law of fifa that give any player who exceeded 28 years the right to leave his club after buying the rest of his contract by paying what he would have taken from the club which is stated in the contact if he were to play.
in their reaction, al ahly board decided to request from the federation to suspend el hadary from playing and decided that they won’t send his card to the club and will bring the issue to fifa. his coach manuel gose said that el hadary is the loser and that the club won’t collapse after him and he is ready to stand as a keeper instead of him if needed!!.
i don’t know if i should support el hadary or not. but the guy has his reasons, he is 35 years old and this maybe his last chance of playing in Europe before quiting football. also he always requested from the club to leave him to go play in Europe but they refused so he decided to do it the hard way. we also have to bear in mind that sion might be just a small stop and after it he will play in a big club. in spite of the reasons he had to do what he did, he did it in a completely wrong way. he lost the love of the fans , the respect of the club and he damaged all his great history just in one minute to the extent that one newspaper said “the collapse of the high dam”!!.
