Zidan's HSV failed to win a single match in their last five league matches. They even lost at home to Schalke by a single goal which came through the German international Kevin Kuranyi who headed the ball home in the 2nd minute of the game.

Zidan went back to bench after the return of Van der Vaart and Olic to selection. The Egyptian came on in the 79th minute and barely touched the ball. The defeat kept Hamburg 4th while Schalke remained in the 3rd spot in table.

After a nearly full season for Zidan with Hamburg, it is obvious that the Egyptian should consider moving to other team. Not only because he he doesn't get enough play time at HSV, but mainly also due to that the playing style of Zidan is not suitable for HSV at all.

Hamburg doesn't rely on counter attacks at all and so, Zizou's pace and dribbling skills are not used. In addition to this, Zidan severely lacks confidence when he plays for HSV. Zizou always appears apologetic when he tries a dribble or tries to shoot instead of passing. On the other side, his teammates rarely try to pick him for their passes.


A player like Zidan, has the pace, vision and dribbling skills should be given more creative freedom on the field in order to take advantage of his flair and skills.

Soon, the season will come to a close and Hamburg will unlikely play in Champions League if their form remained declining. They will most likely play in UEFA cup and so, Zidan should consider a move to a club that can show his real potential.
