It is strange because he has a unique experience, and strange countries because the Egyptians are not used to playing in these leagues.
FilGoal.com It introduces the Gharib series in strange countries, not a republishing of Anis Mansour’s trips to Yemen and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but rather to dig into unusual professional trips for Egyptian players.
In this series, we will not ask heroes about their experiences in the Turkish, English, Saudi or even German leagues, but rather we will fly to more obscure regions.
The champion of this episode is Mohamed Al Yamani, one of the stars of the 2001 FIFA World Youth Egypt team, who won the ranks of Floriana Maltese team between January and September 2011.
What happened there? And how do you navigate them? What are the most difficult and funniest situations that he went through? The answers in the words of Yamani came as follows ..
How did you get professional in Malta?

How did you deal with the language in Malta?

The most thing you missed?
my wife and kids.
How about the weirdest tradition you’ve seen there?
