Thirteen goals and three assists in 20 appearances between the championship and the League Cup. Manolo Gabbiadini he is the star of Al-Nasr: arriving in the summer after the end of his adventure with the Sampdoria shirt, the striker from Calcinate immediately took center stage in the United Arab Emirates.
The former Bologna and Napoli player was decisive yesterday against Ittihad Kalba: his brace avoided defeat for Alfred Schreuder’s team, which has won 10 points in the last four matches thanks also to goals from another old acquaintance of the Italian football, Adel Taarabt: the former Genoa and Milan player, like Gabbiadini, has scored three times in recent weeks, bringing his season tally to eight goals and eight assists. However, despite the latest positive results, Al-Nasr is only fifth in the standings, very far from the top: the three consecutive defeats suffered at the start of the tournament were fatal.
