Quick, Dribbling Forward Mohamed ;
Zidan built his reputation on flair, agility, and close control. With a low center of gravity and explosive acceleration, he could slice through defenders with feints, step-overs, or sharp body shifts.
Versatile Attacker;
Naturally, a second striker, Zidan, could operate across the front line. He was equally effective cutting in from the wing, linking play behind the main striker, or leading the line in a fluid attack. His intelligence in movement created constant headaches for defenders.
