Ali was seen watching the 16th round of Serie A between Como and AS Roma at Stadio Giuseppe Synigalia in Como, Italy, on the 16th (Korea time). Como is a team led by Spanish legend Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal and Chelsea.
Como scored two goals in extra time in the second half against AS Roma to win a thrilling 2-0 victory. Como, who was promoted to the first division this season, added three valuable points to rise to 16th place (15 points, 3 wins, 6 draws, 7 losses).
However, there is only one point difference from 18th-ranked Cagliari (14 points, 3 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses), which is in the relegation zone. Concerns remain over a re-emergence.
Ali's appearance is the talk of the town. England's 'The Sun' reported that there was a hopeful hint that the former Tottenham ace could soon take the first step toward reviving his career. Ali said he was impressed by the spirit of not giving up after seeing Alessandro Gabrieloni sink AS Roma with consecutive goals in the 48th minute of injury time and Nico Paz in the 52nd minute.
Ali, who had his best time at Tottenham, moved to Everton in January 2022. The contract lasted two and a half years. If Ali played in 20 games, Everton had to pay 10 million pounds (about 18 billion won) to Tottenham for the first time. Tottenham could receive up to 40 million pounds (about 71 billion won) depending on Ali's performance.
However, Ali played only 13 games, including one start for Everton. In the 2022-2023 season, he was loaned to Turkiye Besiktas. But the wandering continued. He scored three goals in 15 games.
Ali, who was branded a lazy life, returned early in April last year due to injuries. He was put on the operating table with a hip injury. He was also addicted to alcohol and sleeping pills. For mental health, he entered a rehabilitation clinic and received treatment. Earlier this year, he had groin surgery and his return was delayed further, and that was it.
Ali's contract with Everton expired in June and is now an FA (free agent). It seemed like he was continuing his rehab at Everton, but there is no more hope. Coach Fabregas held Ali's hand, which was on the verge of retirement.
Fabregas drew a line on the contract. He "I met Ali yesterday. There's a possibility of training with us after Christmas, but it's just to rebuild the body again." And at this point, regarding the contract "I don't want to talk about it anymore" he added.
Ali is still dreaming of a comeback. Speaking on Sky Sports 'Monday Night Football' in April, he said 'Every day at 11 o'clock, there's a notification on his phone '2026 World Cup' People will say 'I haven't played in a year' But that's my goal. I know what my level is.'
And "It was just an injury problem. I hope I can make it to the end. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I had to be patient, and it was a long journey with many injuries and twists and turns. Still, it helped me grow further as a human being."
