Dia Saba Thrives at Adanaspor, Cites Bergkamp as Childhood Idol

Israeli midfielder Dia Saba is enjoying a successful start to the season with Turkish club Adanaspor, scoring three goals in the first six league matches and helping his team reach first place during the international break. In an interview for Adanaspor's YouTube channel, Saba expressed his happiness with his current situation, highlighting the strong connection he feels with the city and its fans.

"First of all, I feel great. I am very happy in the city, at the club, and to play for Adanaspor," Saba stated. "I feel very respected, and the people here love me. They show me this love every day, everywhere, in the media, on the street, in restaurants, everywhere I go." He added that this affection motivates him to reciprocate the support for the club.

When asked about his most memorable career moments, Saba selected three games: a hat-trick against Sivasspor, winning the championship and promotion to the Super Lig against Aydinspor, and his debut in the Super Lig against Erzurumspor, where he scored twice in Adanaspor's first-ever Super Lig victory, a game he considers the most significant.

Looking ahead, Saba plans to take a three to four-month vacation with his family after the season to relax and enjoy life. Reflecting on his childhood inspirations, he named former Arsenal player Dennis Bergkamp as his idol.
