Athletes confirmed the existence of technical and administrative reasons behind the decline in the level and results of the Al Ain team, in the current football season, and its exit from all local and foreign championships in which he participated, despite winning the AFC Champions League title last season, and indicated that among these reasons is the decline in the level of some players, especially foreigners and residents, such as the team’s top scorer, Lapa Kudjo, and that the board of directors responsible for contracts bears this responsibility in the first place, as well Change the coaches and the absence of technical stability, along with the many injuries that affected a number of players, as a result of the pressure of matches since last season.
They added to «Emirates Today» that “the return of the Al Ain team to its natural place is in the interest of Emirati football, and that achieving this requires everyone’s solidarity, in addition to changing foreign and resident players, and contracting with high -level players.”
They pointed out that “winning the AFC Champions League, last season, deceived the team and made the board of directors stick to the same squad that won the Asian title, but it was necessary to make fundamental changes on the team’s lists.”
The Al Ain team fought a bad season, in which he got out of the competition for all championships, as it lost the AFC Champions League title after he bid farewell to the championship from the first stage, in addition to leaving the Championships of the President of the State and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup, as well as its results in the Professional League, as he currently occupies fifth place after 21 rounds of the competition, where he was subjected to no defeats, the last of which was the loss in front of Dibba Al -Hosn.
Asian trick
The players and former Ajman player, Hamad Al -Dossari, confirmed that Al Ain’s victory in the AFC Champions League title last season was an honorable achievement, but he deceived the team with its technical level, which the fans confirmed in the current season, which witnessed a significant decline in the team level.
Al -Dossary said: “Al Ain Club is one of the largest and oldest clubs, and its level is normal, and it occurs with any team in the world who gets a big championship and then is exposed to crises for various reasons, and it will return stronger in the next season, but on the condition that the problems it suffer is done.”
He added: “Technical and administrative instability is the most important reasons for the team’s failure this season, it is not normal for the Asian champion to change three coaches in one season, in addition to the poor choices of foreign players, and the decline in the level of the team’s stars.”
He continued: «The AFC Champions League matches have a different style, and are managed far from the league championships, and differ from the long season matches in which the team needs to play about 30 or 35 games, in addition to that the Al Ain team faces a problem, which is that the level of foreign and resident players is less than the level of the citizen player.
Everyone’s responsibility
And the star of our former national team, Abdel -Qader Hassan, stressed that “the decline in the level of the eye is borne by everyone, starting with the administration, which is responsible for contracting with coaches and players and maintaining the stability of the team, in addition to the continuous change of coaches and lack of patience with them.”
He added: «There are other reasons, including the low level of citizens and foreign players, and the lack of support for the team in the current season with distinguished players, and relying on the foreign players themselves who won the Asian Championship last season, and therefore the ranks must be strengthened with players at a level suitable for the eye, and this was what should have been worked on since the end of last season.
He explained: «There is a weakness in the defense line in general, in addition to the many errors, instability and stability on the squad, which are all things that reduce the chances of the eye in winning, and that the exposure of the players in the team to impressive injuries, in addition to the lack of confidence as a result of the large number of Asian defeats, is one of the factors that affected the team’s march in the league and local competitions, and the team was subjected to great public pressure, besides that the team did not find enough comfort from last year to the many posts And the preparation, travel and travel camps.
The only exception
In turn, the former Ras Al Khaimah player and the technical analyst, Darwish star, confirmed that “the level of foreign players and residents in Al Ain is very bad except for Sufyan Rahimi, and the team’s victory in these players in the AFC Champions League last season, which prompted the board of directors to keep them.”
He added: «Al Ain Club Company bears responsibility, I went to contract with resident players sitting on the bench, and it was necessary to renew the first team, change four foreign players, then go to strengthen the reserve, the team now needs to keep Sufyan Rahimi only, and three players residing at a very high level, a goalkeeper. The opportunity is complete.
Bad choices
For his part, the players’ agent, Walid Al Shamsi, considered that the Al Ain team was subjected to negative results this season is not worthy of the name and history of the club, indicating that the club’s senior management did not skimp on the team permanently, but the bad choices for foreign players and citizens and also coaches have harmed the team.
Al -Shamsi said: «Unfortunately, any team wants to beat Al Ain team is currently able to do so, due to the strange decline in the level of some players.
He continued: «It is not permissible for the Al Ain team to rely on only one player, Sufyan Rahimi, the team lost many matches locally and externally due to poor planning since the beginning of the season.
