EXCLUSIVE: Egyptian
star midfielder Hossam Ghaly spoke to EgyptianPlayers.com
a few hours ago. The player updated EP with his latest
on the Gunners and Spurs interest in him, as well as
much more.

EP: It was mentioned in the media that
English Premiership giants, Arsenal, are after you.
What is the truth?
HOSSAM GHALY: "I heard about their interest
from the Dutch and British media same as you. I also
know that Arsene Wenger was in the stadium on a scouting
mission for me in the last Eredivisie match."
EP: What about the offer from Tottenham?
HOSSAM GHALY: "There is nothing serious
until now from their side."
EP: What about the relationship between you and coach
Erwin Koeman?
HOSSAM GHALY: "Thank God, there are no problems
between us now."
EP: So, are you planning to stay with Feyenoord?
HOSSAM GHALY: "But to be honest if I get
a very good offer then I will leave."
EP: You are always criticised for not playing simple
football and for overusing your skills on the field.
What is your comment?
HOSSAM GHALY: "I really don't think I am
doing anything wrong! It is inevitable that some passes
will be intercepted. The best players in the world make
mis-passes. It is not possible to play a whole ninety
minutes without doing at least two or three mis-passes!
I think I am doing my job and there is no mis-pass or
blocked ball that I have played that has resulted in
a goal against us throughout my entire journey at Feyenoord.
I don't see that I play riskily, or that I hold up the
ball too long, or that my balls get cut out. But this
is the only point that comes out of the game. They talk
about the intercepted ball I made but ignore all my
positives."

EP: Regarding the upcoming African Nations Cup, how do you
see our group?
HOSSAM GHALY: "I see all groups having the same
difficulty. There are new teams who made it to the World Cup
for the first time and other big names who couldn't qualify.
So there is no huge difference between the teams in all the
groups.
"The important thing is that we concentrate and stay
serious, and do all that we can. The rest is up to God."
EP: Have you spoken to the club administration about the conflicting
match-dates between ACN and Eredivisie?
HOSSAM GHALY: "No, I didn't talk about that but I
think they understand the situation. The ACN is an official
tournament and FIFA rules allow me to join the national team
two weeks before the ACN. There are no problems regarding
that (God Willing)."
