The player posted photos on his official Instagram account of his participation in the match held on Wednesday evening, accompanied by a brief comment that carried many implications: “Together until the end,” in a clear indication of his commitment to supporting the team and continuing to fight despite the painful exit from the tournament.
Al-Ahli had bid farewell to the Cup competitions after a strong and exciting match against Al-Hilal, which witnessed great competition between the two teams for the ticket to the final, before penalty kicks decided the result in favor of “Al-Zaeem”.
Atangana is considered one of Al Ahly's most prominent foreign players this season, enjoying the confidence of German coach Matthias Jäsle and forming a key pillar of the squad. The 20-year-old has delivered impressive performances this season, participating in 29 matches and scoring 5 goals in a total of 2498 minutes of play.
A challenge is expected in the league. In
the Saudi Roshan League, Al-Ahli is preparing for a tough match against Damac, as part of the 27th round, where the team seeks to achieve victory and continue to put pressure on the leader, Al-Nasr, who is ahead by 5 points.
With continued Asian ambitions
on the continent, Al-Ahli awaits a crucial match against Al-Duhail in the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League, in a match during which “Al-Raqui” seeks to snatch the qualification ticket to the quarter-finals.
Although the date of the match has not yet been set, due to the current situation in the region, the Asian Football Confederation is considering the possibility of holding the Round of 16 matches as a single encounter on neutral ground, instead of the home-and-away system.
