The Syrian striker spoke about the last season of the competition
The all-time best scorer of the Saudi League, Syrian Omar Al-Somah, was selected as the best defender of the last 2025-2026 season.
Al-Somah said in statements For “eight” channels“There were many outstanding defenders last season, but I admire (Roger) Ibanez and for me he is the best defender in the Saudi league.”
“The problem has nothing to do with my relationship with Al-Ahly, but Ibanez is a strong defender and Al-Ahly is lucky to have him and he leads the team with (Mereh) Demiral and Rayyan (Hamed).”
“I watch a lot of Al-Ahly matches and Ibanez stands out because he is not one of those players who only focuses on the ball, but also looks at the forwards around him and how they can benefit from the spaces around them.
“I think (Carles) Puyol played this style at Barcelona and Spain because he was wrong to follow the ball and ignore the strikers and the areas at the back.
Notably, Omar Al-Somah is one of the most famous legends in the history of Al-Ahly, as he played for the team from 2014-2022 and is the all-time top scorer in the Saudi League, 5 goals ahead of Moroccan Abdel Razak Hamdallah.
