Qahtan jatheer Iraq u19 Coach : Amir is a really talented player smart and fast he got some good pace and ability on the pitch there’s a big future waiting for him his passes reminds me in inesta sometimes we call him a ball hogger haha but we fixed it with him his iq is really good and technically and physically I wish the best for him and his teammates .
Aldaraji said in the past 3 years I got so many times injured but I keep recovering and coming back stronger the ever .
He finished high school in Nashville Tennessee at Cane Ridge he said I will never forget the memories with my friends and teachers in that school . He also got so many scholarships in Tennessee and Chicago and Cali he said I promised my parents I will go to college to study engeneering and that was also a dream.
He also said Soccer, to me, is like a passion. Whether it’s playing it or watching it, i can’t live without it. You can compare this to how important a banana is to a monkey. If you take the banana the monkey will be furious. Whenever i am on the pitch, i just feel a sense of comfort because I am doing what I love to do. I also relieve any stress if i have any because when I play it puts me into a happy mood.
Overall, soccer has always been part of me, and it always will. I continue to play it, and watch it. I even play the game Fifa on my Playstation 4 because I just love soccer that much. I hope to become better and better, and if possible, get somewhere later on in the near future.
Amir , I would like to thank all my friends and family and coaches who inspired me and I hope I’ll get better and better thanks for everyone who kept me in there prayers and I also want to thank the people who didn’t support because that gave me the power to come stronger and stronger I also want to thank all my coaches especially coach ape madly, coach Madison James , coach ahmed ali , mejbal fartooa , coach yahya Hassan , coach Karl Pugh, coach Moe ahmed , coach Christian , coach saleh ali and coach Bryant ....
