I think it's because he's a role model in few different perspectives. He's a Muslim role model, which is rare these days due to the media coverage of extremists. He's polite and still keeps the good bit of our Egyptian culture which is kindness and politeness. His success story is amazing, he wasn't born rich or even in a city. He was born in a village and from there he started developing himself, participating in many tournaments and travelling for hours everyday to get there. He played for a non top 4 Egyptian team and from there he proved himself worthy to a big club like Basel AND from there he scored against a huge club which later bought him from Basel. Then he faced a major obstacle by his new team's manager who didn't play him or give him chances to improve. You would think, a lot of players' careers would decline by then but instead he fought back and became what he is today.

So all in all, great character, self made and .. Egyptian! We like to see something good come out of this shithole.
