Al Ahli youth coach Rodolfo Arwabarina defended Leonardo da Silva, saying the player did not deserve such a big punishment.

The disciplinary committee, Al Ahli youth player Leonardo da Silva, was banned by four matches, including the expulsion penalty and fined 200 thousand dirhams for assaulting Al-Nasr player Mohammed Ayed during the last match of the two teams in the Arabian Gulf Football League.

"There was violence on the part of Da Silva against the Al Nasr player, but he was not intentional at all," he said after a match afterwards. "I thought the player deserved the paper he was subjected to, but punishing him for something more is great for us and for us." The player too. "

"Dasilva is always looking for the ball and he is an enthusiastic player all the time in his performance and the way he plays, but for me as a coach I was close to the incident. I did not notice that Dasilva had the intention to deliberately harm the defender of victory."
