The French team Nice, which includes the Egyptian defender Mohamed Abdel Moneim, lost to its counterpart Olympique Marseille 2-0, in the match that brought them together last Saturday at the “Velodrome” stadium, in the fourth round of the French League for the current season 2024-2025.
Hayes said in statements to the French newspaper “Nicematin” that Mohamed Abdel Moneim faced some difficulties in certain situations that he could not bear, and that it is part of the learning process within the team.
“If Mohamed Abdelmonem is considered the best Egyptian centre-back, it is because there is little substance (smiles). You just have to give him a little time, he was able to compete against French league strikers who are different from those he is used to facing, I do not have many doubts about that when I see his training,” the coach noted.
Nice is in ninth place with 4 points, while Marseille is temporarily in first place with 10 points.
The appearance of Mohamed Abdel Moneim, who recently transferred from Al Ahly to Nice, during the summer transfer period, is his second appearance with his new team, after he participated as a substitute against Angers in the last round.
