The media impact in Asia is significant, but Abdulhamid has also made many mistakes.

The penalty incurred and many things that need revising. Yet in Saudi Arabia, the assist for Pisilli’s goal was enough for a new celebration of Abdulhamid. The video of Saud’s reverse touch, followed by his ecstatic celebration with Koné and Ndicka, has stirred up excitement from all Arabian media outlets, even reverberating on several influential social media profiles, including those of a few ecstatic sheikhs, proud of what is, in essence, the first ever bonus for a player from Saudi Arabia in Serie A football. The number of ‘likes’ the goal post of Pisilli has received is staggering, to say the least. With the majority being of Asian profiles. The fullback reposted several stories and videos of celebrating Arab fans, but now obviously, he needs to approach from a more serious tactical viewpoint. Against Lecce, in fact, the first half hour was absolutely hair-raising.
