European club uses bizarre rock and roll kangaroo video welcome Socceroos Awer Mabil Sparta Prague

The most successful club in the Czech Republic, Sparta Prague, have welcomed Socceroos loan winger Awer Mabil to their ranks with a rare rock and roll kangaroo video.

Mabil joined the team on loan until the end of the season as he tries to recover from his difficult start in life at La Liga club Cádiz.

The most successful club in the Czech Republic, Sparta Prague, have welcomed Socceroos loan winger Awer Mabil to their ranks with a rare rock and roll kangaroo video.

The Czech club have an option to buy Mabil, who played just five league games for Cádiz after moving to Spain on a four-year contract in May 2022.

Sparta Prague announced Mabil’s move on social media with a series of tweets, including a bizarre clip of a kangaroo playing an electric guitar.

Mabil, who has made just two World Cup appearances totaling 22 minutes, will join his former FC Midtjylland manager Brian Prisk at Sparta and hopes to return to his best form there.

“With him I played my best football before,” the 27-year-old told the Sparta website.

I know you know me very well and I know you very well.

“He is a very ambitious guy, so we agree on the same ambitions.

“His way of looking at football is amazing and I was able to experience that in Denmark.” So I would really like to experience it here again.’

Sparta currently sit third in the Czech First League, seven points off top spot, and Mabil was keen to lift them into contention.

“I want to compete for the titles,” he said.

‘So for me the biggest motivation to come here is to win and compete for the title and also to play in Europe again.

‘I played in the Champions League before with my old team in Denmark. It was a great feeling and I would love to have that feeling again.

“That’s the goal for me here: to win titles and also be in the Champions League.”

The club’s sporting director and former EPL player Tomas Rosicky said: ‘Awer is an attacking winger, a hard-working player who can outplay opponents one-on-one.

He has experience in international matches, having played both for the Australia national team and in UEFA competitions.

“He is a team player with a winning mentality. The advantage is that the coach knows him well from having worked together in Midtjylland.’

Sparta’s next league match is away against Sigma Olomouc on January 29.
