Hassan Ali opens up like never before in this hard-hitting episode of The Ultra Edge Podcast. He shares the painful reality of how his injury was mishandled—delayed diagnosis, poor rehab, and the stark difference in how players are treated.

He further dives into the damage caused by constant changes in management, explaining how this inconsistency has weakened team chemistry and overall performance.
