Athletes said that the national team achieved the most important in the joint qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup and the finals of Asia 2023, after snatching a precious win from the Malaysian team in the Group G yesterday 2-1, but they saw that the game revealed several negative aspects may be The focus of the work for the coach in the coming period to avoid them in the coming benefits, especially as white is still at the beginning of the journey.

In their interview with Emirates Today, they also confirmed that the match was not without its positive aspects, despite the lack of it, perhaps the most prominent in their eyes the courage of Dutch coach Van Marwijk in pushing a group of young faces in an important match in the World Cup qualifiers, including five players in the starting lineup The side of the sixth player alternative.

Marvik surprised everyone by venturing into a group of young players in the starting lineup: Al Wasl, Ali Saleh, Al Nasr, Jassim Yacoub, Al Wahda player Khalil Ibrahim, Khalifa Al Hammadi and Mohammed Al Attas from Al Jazeera, as well as the participation of Majid Sorour in the second half.

The athletes considered this a point to be considered for the coach in terms of his desire to give them the experience, but what should not have been at the expense of the adventure of an important game for the team almost lost easy points.

They said it was also positive to win away to the ground, as well as a return in the result after the delay, which did not achieve with former coach Zaccheroni, and also the first appearance of white star Amouri after a long absence from the stadiums due to a previous injury in the cruciate ligament.

They also saw the negatives, entering a squad dominated by inexperience of players, especially at the back line through the Al-Jazira Khalifa Al Hammadi and Mohammed Al Attas duo, in addition to the lack of confidence of the coach in his squad evidence of changes made in the second half, and the lack of understanding and harmony between the players, especially in the defense The level of Walid Abbas declined despite the great experience, the lack of tactical awareness in some players in dealing with the atmosphere of the game, and the presence of Ali Mabkhout alone in the attack for most of the game without the support of a playmaker. In general, they considered that the game was a good opportunity for the coach because it showed him many negatives in his first official meeting with the team, which will help him a lot to work to correct it in the future.

Former Al Wasl coach Hassan Polo said that Al-Abyad achieved the most important under the circumstances of the match, pointing out that some young elements proved themselves, besides the brilliance of Mabkhout, and the return of Ammouri, which is good for the white, and said that the return in the result is also calculated for the team.

For his part, former assistant coach Hassan Al-Abdouli, said that the existence of mistakes is normal with a group of young players, said: «This will undoubtedly lead to the lack of tactical awareness and unbalance and harmony, especially in the presence of a large audience of Malaysia, all things "As a result of the inexperience of these young players, they need to be patient and give them more time to gain the required experience." "I think the start of the qualifying campaign is good for the team and for the coach."

He explained: «the state of unbalance and the early goal of Malaysia, was not because of the strength of the opponent, but the lack of experience in the ranks of the white, and although I was before the game worried about the weakness of the physical side, but the players showed a high physical readiness, and Mabkhut password In the game.

In contrast, Abdouli said the presence of young players such as Al Hammadi and Alatas with Walid Abbas in the defense increased the pressure on the captain. He said that Al-Abyad suffered a lot because of the short stature of some of the players in the defense, against the height of their counterparts from Malaysia, which caused the first goal after 33 seconds from the beginning of the game, besides the bad pitch, but he stressed that the coach deal with the game through changes in The second half paid off.

He added: "One of the negative points is that the striker Mabkhout played alone for about 60 minutes, without the presence of a playmaker until the entry of Amuri in the second half, which led to the release of Mabkhout from the pressure after that, especially in light of the defenders focus on Malaysia more."

He praised players such as Majid Sorour, who came on as a substitute in the second half.

In turn, the former member of the Board of Directors of the Football Association, Dr. Salim Al Shamsi, they expected the team to provide a better technical level than he showed during the game. He added: "We have experienced the recent period in the national team, the absence of a fixed white even during the friendly matches played before the match Malaysia, as well as the players lack of harmony and understanding among themselves, in addition to a clear defect on the defensive side, but the result of the victory covered the other negatives."

The former international and legal advisor Salem Hadid, that the start of the team despite the victory, was not convincing, and said: «The level of performance was not convincing, especially as we play against a team as modest as Malaysia, with all due respect to him».

"It is good that young people are beginning to prove their existence, although they still need more time to gain the required expertise."

He continued «the coaching staff significantly delayed in the process of replacement and replacement in the national team, which should have started a long time and not with the start of his team in the qualifying for the World Cup 2022».

For his part, stressed the former board member of Al Wasl Club Hassan Taleb Al Marri, the importance of giving young elements in the team more confidence to gain the required experience, saying that «the process of replacement and replacement does not take place between day and night, and need more time to show results» .
