Highlight midfielder in Portugal closes with Saudi Arabia team

After a good run through Blackberryfrom Portugal, the Brazilian midfielder Jefferson arranged his transfer to the Al-Qaisumah, from Saudi Arabia. This will be Jefferson’s second spell in Saudi football. In the 2021/2022 season, the midfielder defended the Al Jabalain, also from Arabia. Jefferson talked about his return to Arabic.

“I was very happy when the team’s interest arose, I accepted right away and I’m doing very well here. The club has a cool project and, like it or not, the eyes of the world are on football in Saudi Arabia and that is very important for all of us. I had already worked here and I knew they had a project that is now growing more and more and, therefore, I am very happy with this opportunity”he said.

In Brazil, Jefferson played professionally only at Iporá, in Goiás. The Brazilian practically spent his entire career in Europe, mainly in Portugal. In addition to acting as a defensive midfielder, the player can also play as a defender. Jefferson already made his debut with the shirt of Al-Qaisumah, in the opening match of the second division, against Al-Najma. The duel ended in a 0-0 tie. The Brazilian evaluated his debut and projected the season.

“It was a good game, I felt very good. Football here is very fast and very physical, which favors me, because in Europe the pace of the game seems a little. Of course we always have to evolve and that’s the thought. Our expectation is to be able to be among the first and gain access to the first division. It’s just the beginning of the season, but we have to think big.”he concluded.
