The young defender from UAE is keen on making his name with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 and is willing to wait for the right opportunity to grab his chance by both hands.
With 51 goals conceded, Olympique Lyonnais finished the 2011/2012 campaign as the 13th best side in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. These figures certainly show and explain the fact why Les Gones were unable to hang on to a podium place and eventually failed to qualify
for the UEFA Champions League.
Defence has indeed been the club’s biggest problem this season. In the final league game of the season, Remi Garde’s side lost 3-4 to OGC Nice.
While the club’s finances are in a precarious state, the residents of Stade de Gerland will be forced to dip deeper into the reserve team to find a good defender.
In the winter transfer window, President Jean-Michel Aulas recruited UAE international defender Hamdan Al-Kamali. The young defender has attracted the Rhone giants for a very long time and was finally brought to the Saone club.
Understandably, the defender had a lot of difficulties upon his arrive at Lyon. However, Al-Kamali has now started featuring in the reserve games.
“I am the first player from my country to play in Europe even though I am playing for the second team. I improve step by step, it was a good experience for me. I have also grown physically.”
Happy with his progress, Al-Kamali will also be playing for UAE at the London Olympics. The 22-year-old is the captain of his national side and says that he aims to speed up his progress upon his return from the Olympic games.
“I will return after the Olympics with the goal of playing pro at OL and know Ligue 1. The club will follow my performances at the games. I do not know which players are coming or going this summer, but I want my chance especially since I like this city
and the club.”
Desperate to prove his worth to Remi Garde and co, the young and gifted defender from Middle-East will be looking to put a strong performance at the Olympics in order to have a great chance of being a regular part of the first-team next season.
