The crowd roared as Sultan Al-Ghanam sprinted down the right wing, the ball glued to his feet. His focus never wavered despite the pressing opponents trying to cut off his run.

“Stay tight! Don’t give them space!” he barked back to his fellow defenders, eyes sharp and scanning the field.

Reaching the byline, Sultan whipped a precise cross into the box. As the ball sailed through the air, he called out, “Get ready! I’m coming in!”

With a determined stride, he pushed forward to join the attack, confident in his ability to make an impact at both ends of the pitch.
