Cabral Pleased with Partnership with Mimi, Confident in Dibba's Success

Dibba's Brazilian striker, Simon Cabral, described the partnership he forms with Iraqi midfielder Muhannad Ali (Mimi) as successful. This duo has proven effective in creating dangerous attacks and securing notable victories, especially in the last two matches against Al-Bataih and Khorfakkan, where 'Dibba' won 1-0 in both encounters. These results allowed the team to accumulate nine points and climb to 12th place for the first time this season. Cabral, 28, has scored two goals this season and has been actively involved in creating chances. He noted that since the arrival of Romanian head coach Marius, the team has started to function more cohesively. 'We play as a collective, and everyone supports the team's performance. This is one of our main strengths, and it's what the coaching staff focuses on,' Cabral stated. He also emphasized that the collaboration with Mimi in midfield and attack is clear, but he is also committed to supporting the team defensively when needed. Cabral described Mimi as an international player who represents his national team and is a strong candidate for the upcoming World Cup. 'That's why we have a great understanding between us,' he added. Cabral expressed his happiness at scoring two crucial goals that earned the team valuable points. He is confident that Dibba can achieve its goals and remain in the Pro League if it can secure important points in the second half of the season, especially against teams at the top of the table. He stressed that winning matches at home in front of their fans will also be crucial. Cabral possesses high attacking skills, is adept at pressing opponents' defenses, and is known for his speed in counter-attacks. He expressed great happiness playing for Dibba and hopes to achieve the best possible results in the upcoming phase.
