INTERVIEW

Introduce yourself…

My name is Mohssen Mohamed I came to this country (England) 3 years ago and here my football took a real path.

What inspired you to become a footballer, and how did your journey lead to joining Chesterfield U21?

Actually since I was young I always loved football but in Yemen the situation it wasn’t suitable to focus on football. Before I play with Chesterfield I played with Wealdstone but for some reasons I had to move from London to Sheffield and one of my friends had a chat with the manager in Chesterfield and I came as I player for the U21s but I finished the season while I am playing with the reserve and scoring against Stock city and training with the first team.

What do you remember most about your first training sessions or matches with Chesterfield? Was it intimidating, exciting, or something else? 

I was a bit nervous but more excited and the coaches / my friends they made sure to make me feel welcome.

Growing up with Yemeni heritage in England, has that shaped your footballing path or identity?

Of course because football in my country is different style of playing and this what make kind a unique.

As someone listed as a left-winger but noted for flexibility, how would you describe your style—are you more of a traditional winger, inverted forward, or a versatile wide attacker?

I wouldn’t describe myself as traditional winger because last season I was the second goal scorer for the team and the season before that I was the most goal scorer for Wealdstone in National League u23s I love scoring more than just crossing the ball.

Who has had the biggest influence on your improvement—coaches, teammates, external mentors?

I will be honest I did not meet that person yet in England.

What’s the biggest difference in tempo, physicality, or decision-making between U21 and first-team football?

I would answer it from non-league side because I have more experience there.
In academy football you have more time in the ball and the game is a bit slower and the physicality is normal but in non-league is more faster and the aggression is crazy and you do not have that long on the ball so you have to make faster decisions.

How do you manage the demands of training and matches while keeping up with your studies?

In Chesterfield everything in order and planed so we do not really struggle or we find it hard to do both but we have to put a lot of effort from home to finish the assignments on time otherwise that will affect the games selection.

What are your personal goals now that you’ve had a taste of senior football?

I would love to be able to score 20 goals in senior football and feel the taste of being number 1 fans player.

Do you see yourself becoming a regular in the first-team squad in the near future?

I hope so , let’s see how is this season will go.
