Nader El Sayed's statements in Sahibet Al Saada...and how did he meet his wife?

Former Egypt national team and Zamalek goalkeeper, Nader El-Sayed, spoke during his interview with media personality Esaad Younis on the “Sahibet El-Saada” program on the “dmc” channel, about the secret behind his choice of the goalkeeper position, stressing that it is a passion he has had since his early childhood. He also spoke about the backstage of his transfer to Al-Ahly Club, explaining that his departure from Zamalek was not directly to the Red Castle, but rather came after an eight-year professional journey.

In this context, Nader El-Sayed explained that he made his decision to become a goalkeeper when he was seven or eight years old, noting that this decision was strange at the time for his family and friends, as most children tend to play in attacking positions to score goals rather than block them.

Nader El-Sayed corrected the rumor about his direct transfer, saying, "I didn't move directly from Zamalek to Al-Ahly. There were eight years in between, which I spent playing professionally in Belgium and Greece, then playing for Al-Ittihad Alexandria and Al-Masry."

On the other hand, Nader El-Sayed spoke about the competition with his teammate Essam El-Hadary at the time, describing it as "fair competition," explaining that having two great goalkeepers on the same team raised the level of each of them. Although he didn't participate as much as he had expected, he respected the coach's decision and his contract with the club, emphasizing that commitment and seriousness in training are also contributions befitting a professional player.

The love story of Nader El Sayed and Mona Abu El Saud Former Egypt goalkeeper Nader El-Sayed said, "The first time I spoke to Mona, she was on the phone. She was a journalist at the time. A misunderstanding occurred and I slammed the door on her. After she hung up, I said, 'Okay, the matter is over.'"

Nader El Sayed continued: “After a while, we met in an advertisement, and as soon as I saw her, I said, ‘What a dark day! She’s the one who closed the road in her face.’ I tried to fix the situation with the help of my friend Hadi Khashaba, and thank God things got better.”

In this regard, media personality Mona Abu Al Saud revealed the behind-the-scenes story of their love from her perspective, saying: “I met Nader for the first time in a supermarket while filming an advertisement, and from the first moment I said to myself, ‘This is going to be my husband,’ without even speaking to him or knowing him. I was certain he was different from everyone around him, especially since he comes from a rural background, and that’s what attracted me most to him.”

Mona Abu Al Saud continued: “After that, we lost contact, and by chance I saw the news of him playing professionally in Belgium in the newspaper. At that time, I said, ‘The matter is over.’ I traveled to America and intended to emigrate, but suddenly Nader called me there and said he wanted to come home. He actually came back after a while and met my family.”

On the other hand, captain Nader El-Sayed, former goalkeeper of the Egyptian national team and Zamalek, revealed the behind-the-scenes story behind his decision to retire from football, explaining that the loss of passion was the real reason behind ending his football career in 2008. He explained, “I made the decision to retire when I felt I had lost my passion for football. I believe that I must have love and motivation for whatever I do, and when that feeling disappears, there is no reason to continue.”
