Hey Noureldin, tell us a little about yourself for us who don't know you that well.

Well, I am 19 years old, have 1 older brother and one younger one, I am still a student in the University, studing Engineering. My religion is Muslim, living in Cairo, Egypt. Currently enjoying my 3 month summer vacation

 

You've become quite a famous guy among the circle of swedish HT-players, brief us about that.

First of all, it was a dream for me to coach a national team in Misr, and I took over U20 Misr only after berber, the U20 coach then decided not to be a candidate, as we are friends I wasn't ready to stand against him in the elections, and without him deciding not to candidate, none of you would have heard about me till now. Now I am very popular around and hope to keep it on



Why did you start playing Hattrick? How did you hear about it?

I heard about it from a friend, and first of all, probably as most newbie's, I didn't show much interest to the game till I became addicted now.

 

For the Swedish readers who might not know much about the Egyptian "HT-Scene" - tell us about that, is it bigger and greater than we can imagine?

In Hattrick, Misr is a small nation consisting of 200+ users, still a small country and hopefully we can grow a lot bigger when the Arabic version of HT is released. Maybe only Misr become heard in the HT world after our un-expected performance in the last U20 WC and ending 6th in it.

 

How much do you really know about Sweden? Generally speaking, what do you come to think about when you hear "SWEDEN"? Also, what have you heard? But are not quite sure that it's true - about the country I mean?

I don't know much about Sweden, maybe what will come to my mind when I hear Sweden is their football team and how they performed very well in the last Euro cup in Portugal

 

Heard about Swedish meatballs, Per Gessle or Hannah Graaf? 

No, at all..

 

Why do you think you won the election? You had some pretty good competition one must say.

I think I had one of the best speeches amongst other candidates, achieving good results with the small nation Misr in the last U20 WC and having some popular users in Sweden supporting me in the conferences.

 

What is it that really differs you from the other coaches that were in the election? Anything concrete that you can come to think of?

Maybe main difference I had than other candidates was that I had the experience of coaching an U20 team, and the impressive results I had with U20 Misr.

 

How do you think your coaching will be affected by the fact that you're from another country? "even" from a complete different culture?

I don't think my coaching will ever differ, at the end it is a game, and culture differences isn't available in Hattrick, or if it is I don't think it will affect me.

 

One of the national coaches in Sweden, a couple of seasons ago it was (might still be) the the greatest challange in the game. Do you feel the pressure to succeed? Are you nervous that a great deal of the 'mighty' swedish coaches might not fall in line to support you as they might had for a swedish coach?

Still didn't face the pressure yet, but I am sure I will especially during the WC.

 

Don't you think there is a risk that people in Sweden have failed to recognize the importance of homefield advantage when judging your abilities as a coach based on your achievements as a U20 coach for Egypt?

Maybe some of them forgot about it, but there were some who remembered, and mentioned it in the conferences, and I replied to it. Home team advantage is estimated to be 2-3 levels of midfield. I think this is an accurate estimation, and other U20 and NT coaches can verify this I beleive.
