” One of Saudi’s main stars in midfield, and certainly the best kept secret.The best way to describe him, is that he is the Saudi Patrick Vieira.Strong and aggressive, he wins all the battles in midfield, and is deadly when he goes forward. Has a tendency of being over elaborate sometimes with his passing and does get out of position.” –BBC

Four days before the game against Portugal, he was called into the national team by Coach Paqueta. The word on the street before rejoining the team was “he’s one great player that should not be excluded from the team”

His high temper got him into trouble multiple times in the last few years.
