he shifted from IFK Gothenburg in Sweden to Palermo.
Among the, he tells in an interview with French Get French Football News, how he was shocked his teammates smoking habit:
“I always went on the toilet five minutes before our matches, and there was always the same players and smoke ciaretter. Even in the breaks they got the five-minute smoke break from training,” he says.
Haitam Aleesami does not hide that he was shocked kulturforskellen. But he was told, ‘how did the players and thus welcome to Italy’.
“I thought that it was crazy. It could never happen in Norway, England or Spain. I don’t know if they were addicted, or whether it was a kind of ritual.”
Haitam Aleesami, which is relevant for the Norwegian national team, do not want to mention which players he saw smoke – only that he found the incidents of ‘insanity.’
From 2016 to 2019 played the Norwegian in Palermo, after which he switched to French football and Amiens.
