Malmo. Mustapha Zeidan became decisive for Malmo FF in record time.
Now the assistant king risks missing out on the important qualifying match against Sivaspor.
We’ll see in the next few days how it unfolds, says the 24-year-old who came off injured against Jeff Sundsvall.
Points continue to fall for Mustafa Zeidan. Admittedly, it was a “only” assist against Jeff Sundsvall, but the attacking midfielder opened up spaces once again for Malmo.
– It’s a good average score, but it could have been more today. I should have scored on Velko Permanshevic’s pass. But it’s good to get to the sites. At the same time, it wouldn’t be shocking when we have superstar players everywhere, he says.
“Provide that you do four or five”
The host team eventually won 3-1 but created opportunities to double the number of goals in the future.
We in Malmö have our demands to get the fourth and fifth places. We know that in the team too, we know we should have done more. But we consider that we did what we had to do and showed a completely different attitude today (compared to the previous matches).
He enjoys the role of assistant king (eight in total, best in Allsvenskan) and distributor of team games. Especially for infiltrating the surface between opponents team members.
– I came from a good period of Sirius and expected to take a place in the team. Contribute things that everyone on the team probably can’t do – everyone contributes in different ways – and maybe I can do something that everyone else can’t. Then they complement each other well.
But in the second half, Zidane walked off the field limping after a suspected thigh injury. Busy for the MFF, of course, because the 24-year-old has clearly been the best player on the team since joining from Sirius. Especially since Turkey’s Sevasport will visit on Thursday to compete in the European League qualifiers.
“I landed strangely – I will investigate”
what happened?
– She landed strangely. I lost my breath as I landed on the side of my back and then felt my thigh as well. He says and we investigate it and clarifies:
– should be fine.
But he is not entirely sure.
– I’m aiming for the games, but we have to investigate in the next few days. I don’t think it would be that bad, but that’s not clear yet. We must be patient and not take such hasty decisions.
Sesay may miss Sivaspur
When do you know if you can play?
Tomorrow we should check the body’s reaction. I hope it’s calm, but we don’t have to stress.
Have you had to play a lot since you joined Malmö and the body has been pushed so hard?
– It was an adjustment for me. I haven’t played in a long time to get fueled by matches. But the body gets used to it and you want to be at that level as a footballer when you play matches every three or four days.
Otherwise, neither Martin Olson nor Joseph Sesay would participate against Guevara. Subsequently, Andreas Jorgson commented on the matter:
Joseph doesn’t have anything bigger but he’s torn in the back and then we didn’t want to risk anything. He got in and started playing a lot right away. Precaution because he is a new player coming in the summer. I hope it’s ready on Thursday. Martin Olson, we’ll see how severe it is (wound to his left foot).
