Sharjah FC and national team player Harib Abdullah stated that the fighting spirit shown by Sharjah players was behind the team's 2-1 victory over Al-Wasl on Sunday in the 21st round of the Professional League. He noted that when the fighting spirit is present on the field, positive results are achieved, and the 'King' wins. Harib Abdullah emphasized that all Sharjah players in this match acted as one, while at the same time stressing that the eighth place held by Sharjah in the league standings does not befit a big club like Sharjah, promising that he and his teammates will do their utmost during the remaining five league rounds to improve the team's position. 'For us as players, we realize that the team is in a position that does not befit Sharjah Club, so we are striving to improve the image, and I hope that the future will be better for the team,' Harib Abdullah told Al-Ittihad. He described the three points Sharjah earned by defeating Al-Wasl as very important for the team, noting that they, as players, understand that the team is in a position that does not befit Sharjah Club. Commenting on the great joy of Sharjah fans over the victory over Al-Wasl after a long absence from league wins, Harib Abdullah said: 'Sharjah fans deserve the joy of victory over Al-Wasl, and we promise them that we will always strive to give our best and perform at a level that befits Sharjah Club.' Regarding his transfer last October to Sharjah from Shabab Al-Ahli, Harib Abdullah confirmed that the move represents a new challenge for him as a player. Regarding his constant presence in the national team squad in the recent period, he clarified: 'As long as a player wears the national team emblem representing the country, he must present a technical level of 100%.' Harib Abdullah described the Romanian national team coach, Olaru Cosmin, as a great coach who has known the players and the UAE league for a long time, expressing his hope for the team's success in its upcoming external fixtures. Regarding the new faces who joined the national team during the last camp held in Abu Dhabi last month, he said: 'Although the players who recently joined the national team are considered new faces, I consider them to be in tune with the team, and there is no difference between them and the veteran players, because each player complements the other, and I believe that the future will be better for the national team.' Harib Abdullah (23 years old) is considered one of the young and influential elements, whether in his former club Shabab Al-Ahli or his current club Sharjah, and is also a key player in the national team squad.
