“Emirates Today” learned that the friendly confrontation, which is scheduled to be played by Al Ain team, at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium, in front of the English team Aston Villa, will not be televised, at the request of the English club, and that the media will not be allowed to attend or make any press interviews, but it will be open to the fans wishing to attend the meeting and follow the “leader” in front of one of the “Premier League” clubs.
The England club, the ninth place in the English Premier League, comes to impose this media blackout in order to obtain the largest possible focus of the success of its training camp in Dubai, since last Monday, taking advantage of the current international stoppage period.
The match comes within the plan of the Serbian coach, Vladimir Evic, to rearrange the Al Ain team papers during the current stopping period, as he asked the club management to prepare a number of friendly matches, to play before the ADNOC Professional League resuming on March 29. The technical staff seeks – through this confrontation – to give the players the opportunity to restore the sensitivity of the matches, especially those who have not received sufficient playing minutes.
The team had resumed its daily training at Khalifa Bin Zayed Stadium under the leadership of the Serbian coach.
The Aston Villa’s confrontation will be a real test for the “leader” in front of a team that has great experience and a distinguished technical level, under the leadership of Spanish coach Unai Emery.
