A video clip, which is a summary of his touch with the 2003 team at the Arab Contractors Club, about ten minutes long, was enough to convince the officials of the Portuguese Sporting Lisbon team to send an invitation to live with the contractors club regarding their striker Youssef Hassan.
Islam Al-Shahat, the agent of the 17-year-old player, does not find it surprising that Sporting Lisbon officials are convinced of the “jewel of the new contractors”, according to Lilakora: “Hassan scores with his youth teams at a high rate; sometimes more than 20 goals per season and others more than 30. Goal; so he has a strong physical structure and is good at playing with his left foot despite being (right-footed) other than his speed and finding, playing on both sides of the field and facing the goal directly.
These are the characteristics that prompted him to work with Abdul Rahman Ismail’s partner to address more than one European club about their 18-year-old player in June 2021: “We put in place a plan for his professionalism and contacted us with more than one European club, but the Corona period delayed the matter a little until the offer came from Sporting Lisbon. They want him next February, and as soon as he passes this period, negotiations will be held with contractors to include him in the next season, which starts around August 2021. “
It is the month that will resolve a crisis that Hassan Youssef faced, when he received Greek offers from major clubs when he was in his 15th year: “He traveled with his team for a friendly tournament in Greece and scored 11 goals during 5 matches to title the scorer in the tournament that included teams such as: PAOK, Olympiacos, Feyenoord of the Netherlands And other clubs that have his name, which made him the focus of attention of several clubs, but being younger than 18 years, a professional contract would not be made for him because of the rules of the labor law in Europe, which was not a hindrance to his colleague Bilal Abdul Rahman Mazhar, who had European citizenship, so he has the right to sign a contract. In August, he will be 18 years old. “
Youssef, who included in the youth ranks since he was in his tenth year until he was promoted to the first team when he was 16 after the friendly Greek tournament in 2018, was not the focus of attention of European clubs: “Rather, Al-Ahly and Pyramids officials officially contacted his club, the Arab Contractors, to join him during the transfer period. Last summer, however, it was settled on its continuation with the contractors and working to bring a professional contract for it. Contractors want to repeat the experience of escalation that arose for the first team that could be easily marketed to Europe, which is what is happening now.
And these are the things that encouraged Emad Al-Nahhas, the technical director of the contractors team, to push him in the last season 2019/2020, with the first team despite not having reached his 18th year: “After the Corona period, he participated in friendlies with the contractors and scored a goal in the first match and fought with them several matches as well as in The current season 2020/2021 participated in the Confederation and gained more confidence. “
Imad Al-Nahhas was not the only one in Egypt who caught his eye “the jewel of the contractors”, as his agent called him. Rather, he was the player who was born in 2003 on the Egyptian youth team list, born in 2001, who traveled to Tunisia under Rabie Yassin’s leadership to participate in the North African Championship before the national team was excluded Because of Corona virus infections that hit his ranks: “The matter did not stop. Youssef was present when he was two years younger than them, so the next generation will join them as well, and we are currently working on preparing his travel papers for Sporting Lisbon in February in coordination with the Contractors Administration.”
