30 years have passed since May 10, 1995, Mohamed Alí Amar, ‘Nayim‘Will rise to the sky of Paris that ball from the nearly center of the field that ended with the insertion of the goal of David Seaman To give the title of Golment from Europe In Very zaragoza in front of him Arsenal In it Princes Park (2-1). Three decades later and 58 years, the opponent remembered at World of sport The unforgettable moment that came down to history and made the extraordinary team in legend. Despite the difficulties in which the Aragonese team is currently crossing, that day and that trophy will remain forever.
How many times have you asked you about the goal?
Almost every day. If you don’t remember mobile, many people remind you. Many fans stopped me on the street and thank me. They tell me their anecdotes, how and where they live it, what they did at that time …
What does it mean for you and football?
One moment changes your life. I personally changed it to me, both the professional and the staff. It was a moment recorded in the minds of many fans, especially Zaragoocistas and especially those who could join us ‘in Situ’ there in Paris. But also in the world of football in general, because the goals of this type have scored a lot, but in a final and the last second of expansion and that the rival team did not give time or take the center … At that time the real Zaragoza was the team all over the world.
30 years later, how do you feel and how do you remember?
Too much joy, especially because we make many people happy. In my case, especially to the nearest family, especially my father. This is for me the guidance of my career. Thinking about making my father happy, to make me proud. And, most of all, all the people who at that time followed Zaragoza and wanted to win.
You also have a street dedicated to Zaragoza …
That is incredible. A person in life, for an action that is part of my job, something many people have done … That’s what football means for a city like Zaragoza.
The real zaragoza is a wonderful group, right?
That always commented. When they say ‘Nayim’s goal’, I always say ‘that purpose is all that group’. That group allowed me to reach that moment that was very important in my life. That group is still amazing. This is the key. The costume is key to football. If you have a great costume, things are usually fixed. Because when things go wrong if costumes are united. If this is the other way around it is very difficult.
By the way, you played with Tottenham and there you have a song dedicated to his followers, right?
Yes. The opportunity is that the song is definitely the goal I marked with Zaragoza in the final recopa, though in Tottenham I played before gaining that goal. The Arsenal-Tottenham is the derby of northern London, it is like an Atlético de Madrid-Real Madrid, like a barça-Spanish …. And obviously, when Tottenham plays against the Arsenal they sing in the arsenals: ‘Nayim, from the middle of the field’ in English, ‘from half’.
What is Nayim doing now?
I give a hand to the club of my land as a base football coordinator, trying to educate my experience with the kids. The idea is to train them especially as people and me, helping young people, try to plant what I learned for example in Masia. And let’s see if in the future more Ceuta players come out, such as Anuar, Pirri, Migueli … Players who bring city names across Europe
