Fahd Khamis sends a message to Ali Mabkhout after he stripped him of the title of the league's historical top scorer. (Video)
The legend of Al-Wasl club, Fahd Khamis, said in a video clip published by the official account of the Professional League on Twitter that he was proud that he handed the title of the historic top scorer of the UAE League to a citizen player.
Khamis sent a message to the international player, Mabkhout, in which he said: "Ali Mabkhout, I hand you this title to keep. I feel proud that I hand it over to a citizen player. Congratulations, you entered history from the widest doors."
The association published the video clip, which appears to have been recorded earlier, after Mabkhout scored the goal in the 48th minute in the Al Dhafra net this evening, knowing that Fahd Khamis is currently recovering.
Fahd Khamis had reassured the masses of his health after he was exposed to an illness that kept him on the recovery bed, and said in a phone call to him, "Emirates Today": "I am fine and in good health."
Al Jazira's main players and substitutes lined up in an honorary corridor during the celebration of the international Ali Mabkhout after scoring a goal against Al Dhafra team this evening, Tuesday, in the match that ended with a 3-0 victory at Hamdan bin Zayed Stadium in the postponed match of the 14th round of the ADNOC Professional Football League.
The players greeted their colleague with applause by reaching the 176th goal in his history and surpassing the historical balance of the former Al-Wasl club legend Fahd Khamis, who scored 175 goals.
It is noteworthy that the Al-Nasr striker, Sebastian Tigali, also entered the historical scorer race, as he currently has 171 goals.
Your safety, Captain Fahd Khamis, pay and well-being 💐
