Naher Basara has opted not to have two teams he would like to buy – and now aims to win SM gold with the club closest to his heart.
The 31-year-old hopes the first move will be three points in the derby against AEK.
– I wasn’t interested in movement. I enjoy being in Hammarby and want to win SM gold, he says.
Naher Basara has eight goals and seven assists this season and is thriving in Marti Cifuente’s attacking style. Now AIK is waiting for friends in the derby on Sunday afternoon, where Baggen will try the team anyway full of confidence
– I don’t know if it’s a good or bad time to take on AIK. We’re going to go out there and do our job, that’s the only thing we focus on. We’ve won a lot of games now and we’re in great shape. Bessarra says AIK is a good team and it will be tough.
How do you see the competition in Bagen now? Looks like it’s never been more difficult?
Yes, we have many good players in all positions. Now we have almost two players in each position who can start.
– It’s fun, it indicates quality, he says.
The final step now for Hammarby is to get to Europe first and foremost, and then always wish for SM gold.
How will you start beating the big teams?
Yes, I think we deserved more in so many games that we couldn’t win. But now we have to take our revenge and get three points against the big teams. These are the matches you want to play and these are the matches you will burn for.
A lot of rumors spread about some players in Hammarby, what was it like around you, who still scored a lot of points?
– I heard about the interest from my agent. But I wasn’t very interested in moving, to be honest. I’m enjoying being in Hammarby now and I want to win SM gold, everyone wants it. But everyone also knows that doing this is difficult.
“It wouldn’t be fair to leave now.”
Naher Basara’s agent Jimmy Hermes, who works at GSM, confirms that two clubs want to get rid of Basara over the summer.
– It would be strange if there was no interest in Nahir when he threw the way he did and I can confirm that Nadine wanted to make an offer, but Naher was clear that he did not want to leave.
He’s happy at Hammarby and now he’s not going to be fair to Hammarby whether he goes because they can’t get a replacement. Then we’ll see by winter what Naher and Hammarbi feel then, he says.
