عمر مرموش يوضح دور فارس شايبي وإلياس السخيري ومحمود داوود في انسجامه مع فرانكفورت

Transcript

00:00You played with Fares Chaibi, Ilyas Kheri and Mahmoud Dawoud.

00:04Did the presence of Arab players in Frankfurt make a difference to you?

00:08Yes, it made a big difference to me.

00:10Before Dahoud came, the three of us used to travel together in the region.

00:17We knew that we were in Africa, so we all traveled to Africa.

00:22They don't speak Arabic, but when Dahoud came,

00:25he is Syrian and he came from Syria a long time ago,

00:28so when he spoke Arabic, I felt that we got closer to each other.

00:32He is a great player, he played for Dortmund.

00:35Is there a difference in the spiritual part, which is the prayer?

00:41Yes, of course.

00:42Is there a big difference?

00:43Yes, there is a big difference.

00:44We always pray together.

00:46For example, we go to pray Jummah together.

00:49These things make a difference.

00:51Even if I have friends in the team,

00:53and there are Arabs who know us,

00:55they give us one of the most important things.

00:59The way we speak, live, and the traditions we follow

01:04are different from any other European team,

01:06even if I have a lot of European friends.

01:08But as you said, it makes a difference in the spiritual part.
