Persija Jakarta has successfully secured a crucial foreign player for the upcoming Liga 1 2022/2023 season. The club recently announced the signing of Abdulla Yusuf Helal, a talented player from the Bahrain national team. Helal, who previously played for Czech Republic club Slavia Prague, will occupy the last foreign player slot for the Asian zone in Persija Jakarta’s squad.
The 29-year-old brings a wealth of experience and skill to the team as a striker and attacking midfielder. Having joined the club on a free transfer, Helal has committed to a three-season contract, and his arrival has been warmly welcomed by Persija Jakarta’s coach, Thomas Doll.
Expressing his satisfaction with the completion of the team’s foreign player lineup, Doll spoke highly of Helal’s mental and technical attributes. He believes that Helal’s inclusion will significantly enhance the team’s offensive capabilities and overall performance.
Yusuf Helal’s professional career began in his home country, Bahrain, where he represented East Riffa from 2014 to 2017 and Al-Muharraq from 2017 to 2018. In the 2018-2019 season, Helal made a bold move to the Czech Republic, where he played for reputable clubs in the Fortuna League, the country’s top-tier football division.
Having showcased his talent at Bohemians 1905, Slovan Liberec, and Slavia Prague, Helal has proven himself as a versatile and accomplished player. It’s worth noting that two other foreign players from Persija Jakarta, Michael Krmencik and Ondrej Kudela, also previously defended the colors of Slavia Prague, creating an exciting connection within the team.
The addition of Abdulla Yusuf Helal to Persija Jakarta’s roster signifies the club’s determination to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level in the upcoming season. As the team prepares to face formidable opponents in Liga 1, the acquisition of Helal is a strategic move that reflects Persija Jakarta’s ambitions for success.
With the final foreign player slot now filled, Persija Jakarta is poised to embark on a new chapter with a renewed sense of optimism and anticipation. The club’s supporters eagerly await the opportunity to witness Helal in action, hoping that his arrival will contribute to the team’s pursuit of victory and glory in the highly-anticipated Liga 1 2022/2023 season.
