Many of Al-Ahly's youth confused many of its supporters this season, and empty-handed went out in three local tournaments: (the Super, the Arab Gulf Cup, and the President’s Cup), as its conditions resemble a runner whose speed decreases in the last few meters without climbing to the podiums, and the league competition remains before the team He leads six points behind the runner-up eye.

Shabab Al-Ahly missed a historic opportunity to repeat its achievement in the 2013 season, when it culminated in three titles: the local Super, the League Championship, and the Arab Gulf Cup.

Although "Dubai Knights" presented its best levels under the leadership of its former coach, Argentinian Aruabarina, the problem became clear in dealing with crucial and articulated matches by winning titles.

Al-Ahly youth suffered several problems in its current season, most notably the level at which foreign players, who did not provide the technical addition to the team, appeared, like the national players.

The Al-Ahly youth troubles added to the striker's free space, which can exploit opportunities in front of the competitors goal, and translate the technical preference for him with the championships that he failed to achieve.

Araparina carries an important artistic part in Al-Ahly youth season, due to the many changes he was making in all matches, his instability on a fixed lineup, as well as his poor technical reading in the final matches.

Shabab Al-Ahly was overstated in its easiest tournament with the start of the season, when it faced Sharjah in the super title, and the team did not take advantage of the numerical deficiency that befell its opponent, when its defender Al-Hassan Saleh was sent off with the 30th minute of the match, so that Al-Ahly youth failed to score over the course of the full 60 minutes , Despite the acquisition and the opportunities available to him, to lose by a penalty shootout 4-3.

The scene of the same closing came back to repeat in the Arab Gulf Cup against Al-Nasr, as it lost in the final 1-2, despite the fact that all the nominations were in its interest to win the title.

Shabab Al-Ahly reached the final match of the Arab Gulf Cup, after finishing second in the first group, equal with Al Ain, who led the stand with 11 points each.

Al-Ahly youth managed to overcome, in the elimination stages, a score of 5-1, and beat Al-Jazira in the semi-final with a penalty shootout 4-2, after the end of the original time with a 2-2 tie.

Unfortunately, he continued his pursuit of Al-Ahly youth, who failed to continue his career in the President’s Cup, and lost a relatively easy confrontation against Baniyas, who also succeeded in beating Al-Ahly youth twice in the league, to bid the contest from the quarter-finals.

Al-Ahly youth went through several fluctuations in the Arab Gulf League, at a time when many expected that the title would be decided in its favor, after finishing the first stage in the lead with 32 points, achieving victory in 10 games, and a tie in two games, with Al-Jazira and Al-Wasl, while the only loss was He received at that stage of victory, which he won with a goal without a response, but the team's performance declined in the second stage, during which he gained only 11 points, out of 18, although he started that stage by defeating Hatta with a goal without response, to reach The difference between him and the runner-up in one of the periods to eight points, but the team lost five points In two games, a draw with Fujairah negatively, and the loss from Al-Jazeera 1-2, and the conversation began after confronting Al-Jazeera revolving around the future of Arubarina, who got one last chance, and he narrowly beat Bani Yas with an unanswered goal, before falling into the trap of a tie with victory 2 -2, and the "Dubai Knights" was unable to overcome victory this season, during three confrontations that brought them together in the League and the Professional Cup, to force Aruabarina to leave his post due to poor results, and to replace him, the Spanish reserve team coach Gerard Zargosa, who passed his first test Beat Ajman 5-2.

The results served Zargosa with the loss of Al Ain, his closest pursuit from the island, bringing the difference between them to six points, and renewed hopes for winning the league title, after the difference between him and the leader widened to six points.

Will Al-Ahly youth do it and break the rule of falling in the last few meters, will he continue on that rule and lose the league title in the remaining seven rounds?

Al-Awadi: Defensive strength and Khalil shine through Al-Ahly youth to the league title

The sports analyst, Dr. Ahmed Al-Awadi, attributed the loss of Al-Ahly's youth to three championships this season, due to the weak level of foreigners and the lack of stability in the formation.

He told «Emirates Today»: “The level of foreign players was not the same as that of citizen players, which negatively affected the results of the team with these championships, as well as the inability of Al-Ahly youth to sign a distinguished striker, that could translate into the clear advantage that was The team has to play on them throughout the season in general, and in the three tournaments he lost.

He added: “The former Argentine coach, Arubarena, made a fatal mistake to be reckoned with by instability on a fixed lineup. It is acceptable for 28 players to participate in all the matches played by Al-Ahly youth so far, which is a very large number, which was reflected negatively on the results.

He pointed out, “It cannot be overlooked that Al-Ahly youth still have advantages that make it able to remedy the negatives that they have suffered in the past, most notably the strength of the defense line, which received only 13 goals, a feature on which the new coach can build his business strategy, in the remaining meetings Official league, enables him to retain the summit, and then win the title ».

Al-Awadi continued, saying: “I think the Spanish coach, Gerard Zargosa, is fortunate to have Ahmed Khalil regain his previous goal level, a bright spot after the team’s offensive crisis that did not develop until after Kennedy came from Baniyas, because he was unable to cope with the conditions in the youth of Al-Ahly. And different from the Baniyas Club, which shine among its walls ».

Foreign players did not provide the technical addition to the team, just like the national players.

Araparina bears a technical part of its instability on a fixed assortment.

- The squad squandered a historic opportunity to repeat the achievement of the 2013 season, when it crowned three titles.
