Ibrahim Alhassan Aims for Austria Wien Redemption Against AEK Athens in Europa League Debut
Ibrahim Alhassan, formerly of Akwa United, is determined to make a resounding impact as he spearheads Austria Wien’s quest to revive their 2017/2018 UEFA Europa League campaign, after enduring a challenging start marked by a heavy defeat to AC Milan. The Nigerian midfielder, who is set to make his debut in European club competition, is resolute in his commitment to help Austria Wien bounce back on matchday-two when they confront AEK Athens on Thursday.
Austria Wien’s European adventure began on a sour note, as they succumbed to a demoralizing 5-1 loss at the hands of AC Milan in Austria. The unfavorable result placed the Austrian Bundesliga outfit at the bottom of Group D, with AC Milan reigning supreme at the top and AEK Athens, who overcame Rijeka, securing the second spot.
Undeterred by the initial setback, Alhassan, with unwavering optimism, shared his ambitions with Austria Wien’s official website. He stated, “We have put the Milan game behind us and are now heading into the match against AEK Athens with full determination. We are eager to secure points as we understand the significance of progressing further in the group phase.”
Alhassan further emphasized the team’s commitment to their fans and their determination to uphold the club’s honor on the European stage, stating, “We want to provide our supporters with an exceptional game and represent the club admirably in Europe.” This spirited midfielder, who netted 12 goals in the Nigeria Professional Football League before his move to Austria Wien during the last transfer window, brings a wealth of talent and enthusiasm to his new European challenge.
As Austria Wien gears up for a crucial showdown, their focus, under Alhassan’s influence, remains unswervingly fixed on redemption and advancement in the UEFA Europa League.
