Mahmoud al-Khatib was turning 30 on October 30, 1984. The Housh Eissa Center in Damanhour was receiving a new baby, perhaps the most famous of its members.
Since that date, he has always bet against Mohammed Naji Isma & # 39; he, said "Gedo", a loser.
It took the Egyptian public 26 years to ensure that the bet against Gedo would still be a loser and that the safe bet would always be consecutive.
Until the age of 17, grandfather did not play in any club.
Your bet at this point will be that the young man who plays Hawash Issa in Damanhour will not play the ball professionally. Your first bet is a loser.
The coach of the local youth center, Mohamed Badawi, has seen enough in Jaddou to lead the youth center team.
His grandfather refused to do so because he thought it would distract him from his studies before using a new weapon to convince his father's brothers that Gedo should join the center's team. of youth.
Today, on the occasion of the anniversary of Egypt's victory over Ghana in the finals of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, we celebrate the hero of this tournament, Mohamed Naji "Gedo".
4 thousand pounds and 5 balls
The romantic story always ends with the fact that the player who has moved a small amount will become a star with which the press and the masses will flirt. But these are the stories we know. Did you know how many players have gone with so few and how many bullets you have not heard in your life?
In the space of six months, he became the star of the first youth center team to grab the eyes of a senior Lake official, Damanhour Games, active in the second class. With 4,000 pounds and 5 balls, Damanhour bought his next goal in the second division.
Every time, everyone bets against Gedo and loses.
Each time, Gedo needs a person to bet on him and, like Taliat Youssef, he met Gedo during a second division match pitting the vineyards at the Damanhour Games.
Talaat Youssef was convinced and convinced the young man's manager to pay 300,000 pounds for the Damanhour Games to join Jaddou.
Four years were enough for Gedo to leave the youth center of Hush Issa in the biggest clubs in Alexandria.
Thousands of players may have succeeded in forming the hole leader, hundreds of them from youth centers, and their story may be more intense than Jeddo's. But Gedo was different.
The history of Egyptian football scored 13 goals for the Spanish league club in the league. The player's level of this period was enough for Egyptian coach Hassan Shehata to include him in the preliminary list of nations of the league. Africa 2008.
Of course, in the presence of names such as Amr Zaki, Emad Meteb and Mohamed Zidane, the idea of joining Gedo as part of the team went to Ghana so that his title remains an imaginary path.
Gedo has continued to be a player of the European Union in this list of brilliant players who lead their teams in the league but still remain a distant dream for them. Think of Ahmed Raouf, Ahmed Abdel-Zaher, Fouad Salama and names like that.
Jaddou needed only one bet from Hassan Shehata, Egyptian football may not have been such a successful bet.
No better than Mido
Gedo's name appeared in less than 30 names in Egypt's preliminary list, so Gedo himself bet that he would be missing from the list. And because he bet against himself, he lost.
"I left the camp and went to Alexandria after Hassan Shehata announced the list of names to the list at 8 pm, through the media.I was sure not to not join the final team because the camp had more than 30 players to be shortened. "
"I knew the final list of media and television and I was surprised by the presence of my name on the list."
Joining Jaddo for the list was a big surprise for the media and the masses, to the detriment of Ahmed Hossam "Mido". But Hassan Shehata had a justification.
"My exclusion from the national team was not a personal conflict nor in the context of the conflict between us during the 2006 Senegal match. My match with Mido ended completely on day two. of the Senegal match, but then we saw that Mido would not be useful to Egypt. "
"I wanted to join a football player who was very hungry and had fun with the Spanish federation and I saw the qualities I was looking for." I sat down with Gedo and told him that you were not better than Mido, but you really wanted to prove yourself and make history, so I trust you. .
The logical thing now is the existence of an alternative judo little used by founders Amr Zaki, Imad Muttab and Mohamed Zidane, the partnership that has proven its ability to kill opponents in Ghana.
But in Angola, Jado wrote the story. The most effective substitute was the hero of the third title in a row despite everyone's bet on the difficulty of featuring the Alexandrian Union player at the expense of the "greats" who play at Ahli, Zamalek and in Europe.
"In the match against Nigeria, the score was 2-1, the game is hot, and captain Shawki Gharib, the general coach, says to me:" Get ready, you can be involved, the teacher m & rsquo; Found to be calling. "
"When I played and recorded, I felt that there was a divine order that was opening doors that I could not imagine." My self confidence grew and when I scored in the last goal of Ghana, all that went through my mind weeks ago, I dream of wearing this shirt today. , I'm in the finale, I dream, thank God for this dream, which I hope I never wake up. "
Six more months passed and Gedo found himself in a red jersey after a contract with Marathon.
Gedo admitted to signing Zamalek before completing his transfer to Al Ahly. Everyone bet not to continue to shine like all offers that witnessed a violent conflict between white and red.
The cessation of activity and the revolution of January 25, 2011 were the reason for the delay of the beginning of the real Jaddo with Ahli, as the agreements followed after Abdullah Al-Saeed and Walid Suleiman, but the moment the most important of the meeting with Ahli remains in Rads.
Jaddo destroys the dreams of Bab Souika in the crowning of Africa and the most expensive of the African Championships.
His celebration: "Calma Calma", you bet against me all but here I am doing the story.
Losing bets continued against Gedo .. A local player? He went to England and scored and helped qualify Hull for the Premier League.
Will retire after an injury? Gedo is still active in the Egyptian league and has scored with military production and Arab entrepreneurs and El Gouna is still a reliable part of the season.
It took a gamble, followed by bets in which everyone chose to be in the front row.
Each time, only one person considered it a valid bet, the title of the Africa Cup of Nations, the title of the African Champions League and its participation in the Club World Cup and the Premier League. .
The beginning has never been so. Every year, you make us lose our bets against you, grandfather.
