Mohamed Zidan added another achievement to his fruitful career as his side HSV were crowned as champions in the latest Emirates cup.

The presence of the biggest names in football didn't stop the ambitious HSV side from winning the title as they were the most impressive side.

Hamburg lost by a single goal to La Liga champions Real Madrid with Zidan scoring a magical goal. Despite this, the Egyptian and his teammates destroyed Juventus Turin by three goals without reply to win the tournament.

The tournament had its special rules. Winners gather three points each while each team that succeeds in scoring a goal, gets a point as well. Zizou's side had better goal difference. They lost a game and won one, same the remaining three teams, but Hamburg scored four goals in this tournament which made their total points equal seven points. On the other hand, Arsenal collected four points, Juventus collected four as well while Real Madrid had five.


This tournament helped Zidan to hit more than bird with a single stone. The Egyptian won a trophy against three of the biggest clubs in the world. The Egyptian scored a great goal against Real Madrid which is an achievement of its own. In addition to this, this tournament proved that Martin Jol has Zizou in his plans and he will likely give him the role of Van der Vaart or play him on the wings either as a left winger or a right sided player.

This has also been confirmed today as the Dutch star Rafael van der Vaart announced his departure to the royal club Real de Madrid as both sides reached an agreement to transfer the Dutch international playmaker to the Spanish champions.

Such move will surely boost Zidan's chances at HSV, especially after his impressive form in the Emirates cup.

It should be noted that HSV will kick off the new season with a tough clash with Bayern Munich after a couple of weeks from now...
