PETALING JAYA: Immigration’s Colombian striker Wilmar Jordan is proving to be a constant headache for defenders, especially in one-on-one duels and physical battles.
The 35-year-old Colombian has emerged as the club’s main goal threat alongside Venezuelan playmaker Eduardo Sosa, contributing six goals and two assists.
And his prowess in front of goal has as much to do with his sheer strength as his skills.
Standing 1.8m and built with a powerful upper body, Jordan has consistently overpowered defenders, using his strength to gain the upper hand in attacking situations.
“I see myself as a strong player who links up well with teammates, helps build play from deeper positions, and does not just operate inside the box,” said Jordan.
“Since I was young, I’ve always loved playing as a striker and I admire players like Ronaldo and Thierry Henry.”
Reflecting on his performances this season, Jordan believes there is still more to offer.
“I’m working hard every day to improve further in the remaining matches and help my team move up,” he said.
Jordan also highlighted his ability to adapt to different tactical systems, as he has been used as a lone striker or partnered with other attackers like Joao Pedro and Babacar Gueye.
“I have adapted well to changes in tactics. Over my career, I have worked with coaches who use different formations, so I can adjust to whatever is needed in each game.”
