Lukáš Haraslín discusses move to Al-Fateh and national team duties

Slovak footballer Lukáš Haraslín has joined the national team following his transfer to the Saudi Arabian club Al-Fateh. Haraslín, who previously played for Sparta Prague, commented on his transition to the Middle East, noting that the technical level of the Saudi league is surprisingly high, potentially exceeding the Czech league, though it is less physically aggressive.

He described the extreme weather conditions in Saudi Arabia, noting that temperatures have stabilized from 50 degrees Celsius to around 37-40 degrees Celsius. To manage the heat, he trains after 6:00 PM and spends much of his day in the shade or indoors.

Regarding the national team, Haraslín is preparing for a demanding schedule of four matches in 11 days, including fixtures against the Faroe Islands and Moldova. He expressed confidence in the squad's ability to handle the intensive travel and match frequency.
