Al Ain team opened its difficult match file, which is waiting for it in the face of its Saudi Al-Nasr victory tomorrow at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium, in the second round of the AFC Champions League, in a meeting that will be his Portuguese coach Pedro Emmanuel, demanding to beware of the strengths of his opponent’s ranks, and reduce his seriousness Before thinking about the offensive tactic mode, which he wants to follow to win.

The strength of the Nasrawi team is led by its Moroccan striker Abdel-Razzaq Hamdallah, who has the ability to resolve in front of the goal, and scores from all positions, and needs half-chances to convert it to goals, and is considered the fifth most important player in the AFC Champions League with six attempts, in a list led by Al Hilal The Saudi, Sebastian Giovinco, with nine shots, and the Al Ain defense core duo will have to redouble their efforts to bridge the gaps in front of his shots.

The second point of strength lies in the seriousness of the left front, with the perfect cross balls of the Moroccan player, Noureddine Mourabet, as the player currently tops the list of the most cross-country players with 13 crosses, according to AFC statistics, which will require the Al Ain coach to return his Japanese player, Tusaka Shiotani, to the left side's job to limit Of the seriousness of the Moroccan player, but this may be at the expense of his position at the heart of the defense.

Three points of strength are penetration from the depth of the field, as the last five goals scored by the team were four as a result of penetration from the depth, as two goals came from a penalty kick as a result of an error from the opponent inside the penalty area after a successful breakthrough, while two goals came after a break from elaborate passes And the short inside the penalty area, while the fifth goal was a shot from outside the penalty area, and Al Ain coach will have to try to focus on the defensive side more in the middle of the field, by playing with three axes as possible.

As for the fourth strength, lies in the comprehensive possession of the ball for the Nasrawi team, which depends mainly on controlling the ball, the same method followed by the coach of the Al Ain team, Portuguese Emmanuel, as the statistics of the last four games of “Al-Alamy” indicate that his players were the party The most possession of 56% against the Qatari Al Sadd, 63% in the face of Al-Fateh, 63% during the Dhamk meeting, and 51% in front of Al-Itifaq, and that its players during the four meetings touched the ball 5185 times compared to 3491 for the four competitors combined.

The fifth strength of the Nasrawi team is its goalkeeper Brad Jones, despite receiving two goals in front of the Qatari Al Sadd, but in return he occupies the first place in the list of the most goalkeepers in keeping the nets clean in nine games in the Saudi League with 29 successful tackles and 10 punches, and he is also in eighth In the list of most goalkeepers in the Asian Championship against the goal so far, he faced three shots in the list led by South Korea's Shinbuk team, Song Byom Kyun, with five tackles, but on the other hand, the weakness of the goalkeeper managed to fail in addressing the individual, which is what needs Al Ain players Z focus more, if they want access to the sheet.
