Ajman is taking a difficult test at nine o'clock this morning at its stadium and among its fans, when it receives Al-Jazira in the 13th round of the Arab Gulf League. Cameroon's Sebastian Ciani, who recently joined Ajman, will seize the spotlight in the match, especially since he left the island during the last summer transfers, and a few days before the start of the local season in a decision that the player described as shocking to him.
The Orange Department contracted Ciani during the winter transfers after he remained without a club after the island's decision to dispense with him, to replace the injured Malian Dumbia until the end of the season.
The drama reached the Cameroon player to be his first appearance in Ajman shirt against his former team, which he fought with him last season 22 league games out of 26 during which he scored one goal and received four yellow cards.
Ciani (34 years) has a lot of experience, having previously played for Belgian clubs (Anderlecht, Brussels, Ostend and Antwerp), before moving to the island. He defended the Cameroon shirt in 28 international matches, and contributed significantly to crowning his country the 2017 African Nations Cup, after beating Egypt in the final 1-2.
The player said to «Emirates Today»: «I am very hungry to return to the stadiums, especially since I trained for a long period of more than 40 days with Ajman, and I have adapted to the players wonderfully, I feel throughout the time that I am with the team since the beginning of the season.
Ajman, which is ranked tenth with 13 points, hopes to enhance its presence in the middle of the table, and come out with a positive result to break the misfortune that he suffered in many matches, the last of which was in the last round against Fujairah.
On the other hand, Al-Jazira attack will be a difficult test in light of the expected absence of the star of the star Ali Mabkhout due to injury, but the team is armed with many prominent names, especially Amouri and Kino, in addition to the young Zayed Al-Amiri, who is very bright this season. Al-Jazira is ranked fourth with 23 points, a difference of six points from Al-Ahly youth leaders, and it is important for him to return the three points to continue in the competition circle in the title.
