EXCLUSIVE: EP
is happy to reveal that Mido is not the only Egyptian
playing in Italy. We were given a tip about a hot talent
currently booming in the city of Torino.
Sarwat with Pro Vercelli squad
EP investigated the case and we are happy
to present Ahmed Sarwat (19) a player many sees as talented
and as skillful as Hazem Emam.
We called Ahmed and tried to let him do the talking
so he can introduce himself to the Egyptian media for
the first time.
He speaks good Arabic with an accent despite being
born and raised in Italy; he comes on yearly bases to
Alexandria, Egypt.
EP: Ahmed …tell us when did you start playing
football and where are you now?
As: I started playing around 10 years ago, I
live in Turin in northern Italy, my first club was an
AC Milan satellite club then I moved to Pro Vercelli
which is a bigger and a professional club. Then last
year I moved to FC Robbio and I am playing there till
now.
EP: tell us more about FC Robbio?
AS: We are currently 6th in our division after
7 games. The division is of 18 teams where the winner
gets an automatic promotion to play in Serie C/2 and
the 2nd till 6th gets a chance to play in the play offs
where the first 2 might get a chance to promote as well.
EP: what's is your position in the team and what
about your record with them?
AS: I played the whole 7 games as a starter and
I can play as an attacker or as a winger due to my pace
and dribbling skills.
EP: do you think you have what it takes to make
it to the big leagues?
AS: I don't know but I think I can…well
lots of friends went all the way to Serie A. I can point
out Cracciolo who was a Pro Vercelli player and a friend
who managed to sign a deal with Brescia in Serie A.
Others are playing in Serie B and I think I can do that..
EP: what does your manager think of your future?
AS: well. They say that we the young players
have a chance to go and play for bigger teams. I love
football and I always play with my heart. I am studying
Economy in college but Football will be my first option
career wise.
EP: what are your favorite teams and players in
Italy?
As: Ss any Torino citizen of course its Juventus
and my favorite player will have to be Camoranesi.
EP: now to the big question…if given the chance
to play for the Egyptian youth team, Will you accept?
AS: It's my dream…My father always told
me that this is right thing to do. We are Egyptians
in heart. My first passport was Egyptian and I love
Egypt.
EP: tell us what is your point of strength as a
player?
AS: physically I am 178 cm tall and 70 kg and
I am known for my pace and being a good dribbler, I
always love to run a lot and never settle in a place
on the green.
EP: what's your opinion of Mido?
AS: I was delighted when he signed for Rome but
I noticed that when he first came the press was talking
about him a lot specially that he made some good assists
in his first games,. But now they rarely mention him.
Maybe due to the injury that he suffered.
EP: we wish you the best and we will keep tracking
you.
AS: thanks EP for your interest.
