MALMÖ. A hat trick in assists against Degerfors.
When Taha Ali, 24, thinks about the success, he squeezes out that he will request final payment – in pizzas.
– There must be two from Nanasi and one from Vecchia, says the MFF wizard.
Malmö FF’s 5-0 thrashing of Degerfors on Monday was a lot: Hugo Larsson’s farewell show with a goal in front of the home fans, Hugo Bolin’s start in the Allsvenskan (with an assist), two goals from Sebastian Nanasi – and three straight assists from Taha Ali.
– As a winger, you are always criticized if you score too few points. But as long as I’m creating chances, I’m not worried that the points won’t come in, says Ali, who before the assist hat-trick was only responsible for one goal-scoring pass.
“Has a high level”
– I have felt really good in the last seven, eight games. I have a high level of performance, says Allsvenskan’s most entertaining dribbler.
Against Degerfors, he played until Nanasi’s 2–0 and 3–0 and Stefano Vecchia’s 5–0.
Did you get three assists officially?
– Yes. Three in a row.
Are you absolutely sure?
– Yes. Otherwise, I will complain to the referee (Adam Ladebäck), I think he is the one who decides.
– I checked svenskfotboll.se after the match. There I had three assists, he says with satisfaction.
New pers
When was the last time you scored three points?
– I scored two points away against Djurgården last year. I have probably never scored three points before. It’s a personal record, says Ali whose best score is 10+5, but that was with Sollentuna in division one north in 2020.
In the Allsvenskan, with his two goals and four assists, he has already passed his best record, 3+2, in Helsingborg last year.
Taha Ali is not only extremely attractive on the pitch, he is also very effective.
What do you get back from the players when you serve them to goal?
– I get an assist, I’m happy with that.
Maybe you should demand something more when you fit simple goals?
– Pizza, maybe? It must be three. Two from Nanasi and one from Vecchia.
He gave her a kiss
Your body can handle it. You can eat what you want?
– After the match you lose a lot. It is necessary to fill up.
A couple of pizzas is okay?
– There are no problems at all, guarantees Taha Ali, 174 hard-to-mark centimeters and 63 kilos of technology.
Sovereign leader in the Allsvenskan assist top is Häcken’s Mikkel Rygaard with nine goal-scoring passes. Teammate Lars Olden Larsen has five, Taha Ali and MFF teammate Sören Rieks together with IFK Göteborg’s Elias Hagen have four appearances.
MFF and Taha Ali, who strengthened the position for a permanent starting eleven place, end the spring season away against IFK Värnamo on Saturday.
Are you challenging for the assist top?
– I want to be there in the end. We’ll see. I chase both goals and assists, says Taha Ali.
How many assists will you make?
– I hope for double digits this season.
Ten pizzas?
– Hahaha, exactly.
