After an absence of 22 years, the English club Ipswich Town and its broad fans dream of returning to the English Premier League, but qualification may depend on two Arab stars, one Egyptian and the other Iraqi.
Ipswich Town leads the English Premier League, with only 6 matches remaining.
“Blue” leads the standings, one point behind Leeds United, and two points ahead of Leicester City, which has an additional match.
It is noteworthy that the first and second places in the standings qualify directly for the Premier League, while the teams between third and sixth place compete for the third ticket to the Elite League.
Arab stars
“Al-Zarq” is shining this season thanks to a balanced lineup of players, including two important pillars of the team, namely the team captain, the Egyptian Sam Morsi, and the Iraqi striker Ali Al-Hammadi.
Egyptian veteran Sam Morsi (32 years old) has become one of Ipswich’s most important pillars this season, as he is the leader of the midfield, and the player who played 90 percent of the team’s matches, and is relied upon to start attacks and receive balls from the defense line.
As for Ali Al-Hammadi, the young Iraqi striker who is no more than 22 years old, he moved to Ipswich during the winter, coming from Wimbledon, and was put under pressure to contribute goals and lead the team to the Premier League.
Al-Hammadi struggled at first but the decisive goals started to come, and with the injury of main striker Kiefer Moore, the burden will be on Al-Hammadi’s shoulders for the final six matches.
Certainly, Ipswich’s participation in the Premier League next season will gain them immense popularity in the Arab world, especially in Egypt and Iraq, where all eyes will be on following Morsi and Al-Hammadi.
