For the sake of you and Maldivian football. We need young talents for future. Our country respect you as u was a good player. You have done a lot for Valencia. In my view, you better end your career where you played most, which is Valencia. Next year Valencia is much stronger and that is the best way to end your career where you did most. For newradiant you played 2006 and 2012, the rest you played other clubs. I remember as a Valencia fan, you had achieved lot in your life. Or else better quit rather than joking on the filed, shouting to the Refree.

Ali umar is an opportunist. He does not love any cub. he move to the strongest possible club to win trophies so that MAYBE he can collect some medals before he quit? i really hope he quits today or tomorrow.

He loves NRSC, and I think he has said that he moved to NRSC because he wants to end his career with the team he supports. Thought you should know that.
