Said Played As Bari Stumbled

Hani Said was selected in the starting line-up once again for Bari's Serie B match against Napoli. This was a tense match with both teams hoping to get back into Serie A.



This was yet another tough test for AS Bari, who have faced some hard teams so far. The team had a great first half, but failed to break the deadlock. They were holding on fine until the 72nd minute when Sesa scored for Napoli.


Hani Said had quite a disappointing game, although the side wasn't good as a whole. He played in right midfield for the first half, but was moved to the center after the interval. Hani Said was rated 6 out of 10. He did not use his opportunities.

This was a bad result. Bari will have to play better in future home games like this which they cannot afford to lose. It is still 'early days' though, and they have plenty of time to get back into their winning mood. Their fourth match of the season is away against Cosenza. They currently have 4 points from 3 matches, but are confident that they will improve.

Meanwhile, they are 4-1 up on aggregate against Udinese, and are looking like they will reach the quarter-finals of the Tim Cup. If so they will play Inter Milan in the last 8.

Hani Said is now playing as a midfielder, but may have to fight for his place in the first 11 when Bellavista returns from injury. EP will update you on Bari and Hani's situation whenever possible.
