1st Amateur League: Cold as a dog's nose

Actually, Fation Imeri's areas of responsibility lie on the other side of the football field. As a central defender, he primarily specializes in supplying the Nalser “Malta machine” with the ingredients of hardness, robustness and uncompromising in order to produce the necessary concrete. But that doesn't stop him from scoring goals with the regularity of a good striker. A preference has already emerged.

Since Imeri's teammates have taken more offense from opposing defenders than a bounty hunter at a class reunion of full-time crooks, resulting in the proud number of eight penalties taken, the 25-year-old regularly took off his defender mask and slipped into the costume for a short time of the enforcer: In all attempts the ball fidgeted in the net. His most recent goal came on Saturday when he scored his eighth penalty in a row against Riffian to make it 1-0.

Third in the top scorers list Somehow you get the feeling that Fation Imerin's nerves are not made of fibers, but of wire ropes - especially when you take a closer look at the consistently same pattern of execution of his penalties. Wait a long time, delay briefly, send the goalkeeper into one corner, shoot the ball into the other corner - and celebrate loudly.

But not only from the ominous point, but also from the game, the defender repeatedly causes dangerous moments in the opposing penalty areas. For example, he made one goal with his head, the other in classic striker style with a duster. The bottom line is that there are ten goals in 13 games in the first half of the season, thanks to which he not only ranks third in the top scorers list, but has now also become life insurance for his Nals team. Ice cold, this Fation Imeri.
