Al-Wasl player, Swiss Haris Seferovic, confirmed that there is no truth to the rumors that the club’s management spoke to him about leaving the ranks of the “Emperor” before the summer transfer market closed.
Harris told Emirates Al-Youm that he knew nothing about Al-Wasl’s desire to dispense with his services, explaining: “I have a very good relationship with the club, and no one spoke to me about my departure during the current transfer period.”
He added: “My contract continues until the end of the season, and I am happy with Al Wasl, and if there is something about me not continuing, the matter will be in the hands of the club management.”
The international striker spoke about Al-Wasl’s loss to Al-Ahly Saudi Arabia, the day before yesterday, with two unanswered goals in the second round of group stage matches in the AFC Champions League for the elite, and said: “We played against a strong team that included a group of good players, but despite that, Al-Wasl played a match.” “Good, but he had no luck.”
He pointed out that the details of the match contributed to increasing its difficulty, and said: “Al-Ahly scoring the first goal after only three minutes had confused Al-Wasl’s calculations, as we tried to return to the atmosphere of the match, and created many opportunities, but we did not exploit them well and translate them into goals, before We scored the second goal in the last minutes of the first half.”
He continued his speech: “The second half witnessed many attempts from Al-Wasl, but as I mentioned, we were not successful in scoring goals, and I believe that the loss does not mean that the team’s chances of qualifying to the second round have become weak, especially since we only played two matches, and we have six other matches remaining.” .
In response to a question about the loss to Al-Ain by four goals to two in the league negatively affected Al-Wasl, and the reasons for the team’s loss of two consecutive matches, he said: “I do not think that the loss to Al-Ain has anything to do with our defeat against Al-Ahly of Saudi Arabia, and in general this is football, it is normal.” The team may stumble in some matches, and the most important thing is how the players rise again and return to victories, as we must close the file of these two matches, and start focusing on the next match against Khor Fakkan in the league.
He added: “We are not worried about Al-Wasl season. We are at the beginning and the season is long, and we must learn from the mistakes that occurred in the two matches, and avoid repeating them in the upcoming matches.”
Harris: I do not bear sole responsibility for the absence of goals
Harris stressed that he does not alone bear responsibility for Al-Wasl not scoring goals against Al-Ahly Saudi Arabia, and said: “Football is a team game, because when we achieve victory, we all win, and the same applies to defeat. Losing is for all members of the team, and as for me, I am working to do the same.” I carry out my duties, and certainly one of my duties is to score goals, but the matter is not limited to that, and the entire team plays to win and score goals, and not concede goals.”
It is noteworthy that Al-Wasl suffered its first loss in the continental championship, after it had opened its campaign in the group stage with an away victory over Pakhtakor of Uzbekistan with an unanswered goal in Tashkent, before losing to Al-Ahly Saudi Arabia in Zabeel, and its score stops at three points, while the team will play a strong confrontation. In the third round, away from home to Al-Gharafa of Qatar, in the Qatari capital, Doha, on the 22nd of this month.
