He is possibly the greatest footballer in the history of the world with a bachelor's diploma in philosophy hanging on the wall of his sitting room. He is arguably the best footballer on Earth not plying his trade in Europe or South America. And yesterday in Bloemfontein, South Africa, he was without doubt the best player on the pitch. Mohamed Aboutrika, right, the Egypt midfield player, defies convention, and not just because he put his studies ahead of his football for most of his life (he only really hit the big time at 25, when he joined Al-Ahly, of Egypt). At a time when most of the world's players dream of a lucrative move to Europe's big leagues, he has always said no. His critics will probably say that he's the quintessential big fish in a small pond and that helping Egypt to become African champions twice and guiding Al-Ahly to three African Champions League crowns are tinpot achievements because he “hasn't done it” against the best in the world. Well, he “did it” against Kaká and Co yesterday in Brazil's 4-3 victory. And on Thursday he'll have a chance to “do it” against the world champions, Italy. But the question remains: does staying in Egypt make him gutless and unambitious because he won't measure himself against the world's best on a regular basis? Or, in fact, should he be admired for remaining loyal to his homeland, simply being happy with what he has achieved and not feeling the need to chase the glamour and millions of the Premier League or La Liga?
