Hosni 'French-kissed the beautiful Le-Championnat',
as he became the only Pharaoh in the league, debuting
for Strasbourg.
The French top flight welcomed yet another Egyptian
when Ismailia's golden boy Hosni Abd Rabo made his debut;
the 22 year old Egyptian international was introduced
to eager racing club de Strasburg "RSC" fans
in the home game versus Bordeaux.
The game was a close encounter that ended in a goalless
draw. Hosni walked out of the tunnel wearing number
8 and his was name written as "Hosni" with
literally the whole stadium giving him a welcome to
remember.
RSC didn’t have the best of starts this season
and Hosni’s contribution was clearly needed as
RSC lacked the player in the midfield who can orchestrate
things and can act as an anchorman for the troubled
coach Jacky Dugueperroux.
Hosni played the entire match from the beginning and
showed why RSC where fighting tooth and nail to use
him as soon as possible.
He even came close to scoring half way through the
first 45 minutes with a powerful long range effort,
which got the best of Bordeaux‘s shot-stopper Rame.

The club’s official website was a bit conservative when
commenting. "He showed some of his qualities, he ran
a lot and was always present especially in the first half.
After the break he shifted his gears down a bit. Overall his
debut was encouraging."
Other media sources actually praised the young Egyptian.
"The Egyptian made his big debut as the midfield keeper,"
said football365.
"Hosni claimed his starting place," hinted Wanadoo
after just one game!
The game left RSC in a tough 17th spot while Bordeaux seemed
content advancing to 3rd place. Hosni and co. still have lots
of work to do if they are to improve their abysmal league
position, because after 5 league days they could only bag
3 points.
Line-up: Cassard, Lacour, Haggi, Kante, Boka, Johansen, Hosny,
Keita, Farnerud (Le Pen 65) Pagis, Gmamadia (Arrache 77)

new adventure and will keep you updated with his latest news
