Sander Benbshr told "Al-Ittihad" newspaper: "We have every chance to get promoted this season, but the challenge is greater compared to last season, due to the presence of strong teams that have significantly strengthened their squads and made promotion a main goal for them." He added: "I wish to be an influential factor with the team, and I believe I am currently having one of my best seasons personally, in terms of the number of goals or impact on the field, but the season is not over yet.
