Sports journalist Hamed Al-Qarni has issued a warning against Al-Hilal, a Saudi Arabian football club, including Iranian player Mahdi Tarmi in their team. Al-Qarni took to his Twitter account to express his opinion, stating, “The Asian player should not be Iranian Mahdi Taremi.”
Al-Qarni further elaborated on his point, highlighting that Al Hilal has consistently lost the Asian Championship over the years due to poor attacking performances, with the latest disappointment being Nigerian striker Ighalo. He emphasized the need for a striker who can seize half opportunities and score goals, rather than someone who has previously played for Persepolis and Al-Gharafa.
The sports journalist’s tweet sparked a debate among football enthusiasts, with many agreeing with his assessment. Al-Qarni’s tweet received significant attention on social media, with fans and experts discussing the best position for an Asian player, suggesting either the center of defense or the left back.
It remains to be seen whether Al-Hilal will take Al-Qarni’s warning into consideration when making their team selections. As the debate continues, football fans eagerly await the club’s decision and the upcoming Asian Championship.
