Some consider it a weak start for the team at the beginning of its qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup, after it lost two close victories, according to the data that came over the course of the two interviews. We may agree that each meeting has a different course and direction that imposes its reality and challenges based on the opponent’s capabilities and tools that make a difference and a difference in the criterion of comparison, and the balance of power, but this does not drop the charge of negligence and reprimand from the elements of the equation represented in the coach and players.

Confronting Lebanon and Syria could have been better than it was, due to several factors, which made the weighting tip in our favor in several cases, if the coach had managed to manage it and dealt with it more boldly, by exploiting the available transformations and opportunities. Perhaps the state of resentment that swept the sports street, has poured out its anger at the Dutch Marvik Stadium, who was accused of hesitation and delay in interacting with the events and changes that occurred, as his reaction was supposed to be present and immediate, in order to ensure the preservation of the advantage and superiority of our team.

It is no wonder that the criticism of the coach united, and held him responsible, based on realistic observations of the two meetings that diagnosed the technical condition of Al-Abyad, which may have become the need for orthopedic and medical treatment in some aspects, to avoid those pitfalls and lapses that repeated and repeated the scene each time. There is no doubt that the role of the technical staff is manifested in moments of decline and relegation or many mistakes, through rapid intervention by making substitutions, or changing the method, whether by opening or closing, according to the circumstances of the confrontation, a question that the majority threw into the coach’s lap, after it detected hesitation and confusion in taking The decision, just as he remains a spectator until the last metres, in which he hopes that a miracle will happen, or that the alternative will be miraculous until he turns the tables.It is true that they are two rounds without losing, and this is positive and acceptable to some extent, but the loss of their points may hurt us later, especially since the two opponents are supposed to collect their points in full, and transfer them to our balance, given their harsh conditions, so it was natural and expected the reaction towards the elements of the team, after we were on A short distance from owning the land of the confrontation and winning the victory, whose occurrence was spoiled by the slow interaction with the vicissitudes and events of the match, so we are still in the heart of the fight, and the road is still long, but the team triangle must read and study the two confrontations well, just as the alarm bell for the coach must be activated early!

The role of the technical staff is manifested in moments of regression, regression, or many errors
