Reporter: Let's start off with your recent form. Despite being considered an exceptional player, your performances have been average this season. Can you tell us what might have contributed to this?
Lina: Yes, it's true that my recent form hasn't been up to my usual standards. While it's difficult to pinpoint one specific reason, I believe it's a combination of factors. Sometimes, even the best players go through phases where they struggle to find their rhythm. However, I am determined to bounce back and contribute more effectively to the team.
Reporter: You've mentioned before that you value clubs that invest in player development. How has your current club, the Doha Falcons, supported your growth as a footballer?
Lina: The Doha Falcons have been incredible in terms of providing resources and opportunities for player development. From top-notch training facilities to regular sessions with the coaching staff, they have really invested in our growth. As a midfielder, I have been able to refine my skills and learn new tactics that have helped me become a more well-rounded player.
Reporter: Your practice ethics have been described as extreme. Can you shed some light on your dedication and commitment to your football career?
Lina: Football is my life, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to thrive in this sport. This means sacrificing personal relationships and recreational activities to focus solely on my profession. I believe that success requires relentless dedication, and I am willing to give my all to achieve it.
Reporter: Your commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle is commendable. How does this dedication contribute to your longevity as a footballer?
Lina: As a professional athlete, my body is my most important asset. I prioritize its well-being over everything else. While it may involve saying no to late nights and new challenges outside of football, I firmly believe these sacrifices will pay off in the long run. By taking care of myself physically, I aim to extend my career and continue performing at a high level.
Reporter: Is there any specific club you enjoy playing against the most?
Lina: Yes, I have a soft spot for playing against BDB. Their style of play creates an intense and exciting atmosphere on the field. It's always a thrilling challenge to face them, and I look forward to those matches.
Reporter: Lastly, can you share your favorite formation and play style?
Lina: My favorite formation is the 4-4-1-1, as it allows for a strong midfield presence and provides versatility in both attacking and defensive phases. And in terms of play style, I particularly enjoy defending. I find satisfaction in intercepting passes, disrupting the opponent's attacks, and initiating counter-attacks.
Reporter: Thank you, Lina, for giving us insights into your football journey. We wish you the best of luck for the remainder of the season.
