Hamed Ismail: Very excited to play for Al-Sadd again; I had a strong desire to return

Al-Sadd’s new signing Hamed Ismail expressed his happiness after joining the Wolves on a contract that runs until the end of the current season, saying that it was his ‘strong desire to return’ that brought about the move.

“I played with Al Sadd twice in the past and I was looking to continue. I am very excited to play with the team again,” Hamed said in his comments to the club’s website. “I hope to add what is required for the team, ahead of the start of the second phase of the league.

Hamed added: “Returning to the Wolves is a new challenge for me. I hope that I earn the trust of the technical staff and management of the team.”

“I will not look at what I achieved with the team last season, and all I want to do now is to help and work hard to win more tournaments and always put Al-Sadd on the podium,” he said. “All the players of the team have a mentality that helps to achieve this.

“Working with the coaching staff led by Ferreira gives us a lot of pleasure and confidence. The team will face more challenges in the second phase, and we are capable of facing them with all our strength.”
