This week was clearly the best for Zidan
in his Bundesliga career as he scored his first hat-trick
against Bochum. This special performance from the Egyptian
earned him a place in team of the week. Not only this,
but Zidan was chosen by Kicker magazine as the Bundesliga
player of the week.
Many reputable sports agencies chose Zizou
in the Bundesliga team of the Week after his hat-trick
in the match versus Cottbus. These include Onsport,
Sport Bild , Sport1.de, Goal.com and eurosport while
Kicker magazine referreed to the Egyptian as "Mann
Des Tages" or "Player of the Week".
The Egyptian scored three times in Mainz'
home clash with Energie Cottbus to help the struggling
Mainz side in their fight against relegation.
It should be noted that this is the first Bundesliga hat-trick
for the Egyptian but not the first in his career as he scored
a few others in the Danish league including a five goals in
one match for FCM.
