As the captain of the team, my job involves more than just playing. I have to talk to the players and motivate them.
The player who is almost at the same age as my daughter... I treat all my team-mates as brothers and I treat him just like a team-mate. I embrace them all and I am always around them giving advice because this is part of my job as a team captain and friend. I don't make them feel the gap in the age because I believe this should be normal.
Sometimes the media highlight a record for me that I did not know anything about but setting a record at a prestigious tournament like the World Cup makes me happy.
I'm very happy to play at the World Cup, and that is a message to all footballers and others around the world, that you should believe in your dreams and fight to make them come true.
I train hard every day, I don't know what the word 'impossible' means.
It won't matter who starts and who plays, the most important thing is the Egyptian national team and we will do our best.
I'm proud of my long career but playing in the World Cup is something special for any player. There is no limit to my ambition and I have always been determined to achieve that objective.
I appreciate Merriekh and their chairman Gamal El-Wali. I respect their supporters, players and technical staff.
We know football is a difficult game. Sometimes you win and lose.
I did almost everything in my footballing career.
I'm used to realising all my dreams and targets through my determination and ambition.
