The Arab Cup .. "Spark" ignites the enthusiasm of the Jordanians before facing Egypt

When the Iraqi Adnan Hamad, coach of the Jordanian national team, announced his final squad to participate in the Arab Football Cup in Qatar, Muhammad Abu Zureik was not among the names that arrived in Doha, but the Corona pandemic changed conditions and fate decided that Abu Zureik was called after his teammate Anas was injured. The virus was infected, and the 24-year-old arrived in the Qatari capital with the start of the second round of the tournament and participated for the first time as a substitute in the second half against Morocco in the match that Jordan lost 4-0.

Abu Zureik is a football lover since childhood. Because of his great attachment to her, his movement and his quarrelsomeness, his uncle called him "Sharara", to stay with him until today outside and inside the stadiums.

Abu Zreik went through two professional experiences with three foreign clubs in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

His older brother Youssef played a major role in this brilliance on the green carpet, as he said about his beginnings and his brother’s support for the FIFA website, “In the beginning, I loved football as a hobby, but then when I became a professional, it became a job for me and I must Pay attention to every detail.

He added, "The support of my brother was great, he took care of me and gave me a great incentive to shine. Today I am here and I have succeeded thanks to his support and perseverance in work."

Shine in front of Palestine

Abu Zreik starred from the first minutes of the match against Palestine, which was crowned at the end of the award for the best player in the match, after he contributed greatly to the victory achieved by his country, 5-1, to qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament.

"Spark" was the brilliance of Abu Zureik in the eighth minute when he made a wonderful individual effort that overtook four players before he was obstructed inside the penalty area by the captain of the Palestinian team, Abdul Latif Al-Bahdari, so that the referee awarded a penalty kick successfully executed by Baha Suleiman to give the Jordanian team progress

Abu Zreik continued to shine during the match through his dribbling and passing, as well as long-range shots.

About this match, Abu Zreik says, "It was a decisive match for us. In the decisive matches, I have to be at the top of focus and help the players to overcome difficulties, and we succeeded together in that with a good result as well."

He added to FIFA about his sudden participation in the Arab Cup by saying, "This was destined for me in the end, although I was not called up to the national team at the beginning of the tournament. I kept in touch with my fellow players and encouraged them to do the best and from the moment I arrived in Doha, my goal was To support them and give my best for the national team.”

The player, who led his club Ramtha last month to win the Jordanian League title, said, "The confidence I got from the players and the technical staff, along with the fans, was the main reason behind my brilliance in this match because they gave me the incentive to give my best and help the team get the three points and a card. qualifying."

Perhaps the great victory over Palestine will motivate the Jordanian team to continue its path successfully towards the final, when it faces the “Pharaohs” obstacle in the quarter-finals.
