A member of the Al Ain Football Club Company Majed Al Owais board member admitted that the “leader” expressed his interest in contracting with the Al Wasl striker, Fabio Lima and that the management sent an official message to Wasl Club to inquire about the possibility of joining the Lima player to the ranks of the first football team, at the request of the Portuguese coach, Pedro Emmanuel.
Al Owais said in a television interview with Al Ain Club channel on Thursday that Lima has high technical capabilities and is considered a win-win for any team, and that coach Pedro Emmanuel has made his choices to meet the needs that serve his artistic style in the next stage, especially as the Asian Championship is an important goal of the "leader" Participation in it is related to the defense of the Emirati football name.
He added: "Reality confirms that the relationship between Al Ain and Al Wasl is solid and historical, pointing out that there is more than one player who defended the slogans of the two clubs, such as Muhammad Omar, as well as the Iranian Farhad Majeedi, who joined the leader's list in exceptional circumstances with the approval of Al Wasl in 2003 to participate with the team in the Asian Championship, and from Al-Ain moved to connect Ali Masri, Salem Abdullah, Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Hazza Salem and Salem Al-Azizi, and this fact confirms the strength of the relationship between the two major clubs.
And on the validity of the offer made by Al-Ain for the connection, which included a sum of money in addition to a number of players in various centers, he said: "There is no truth to this conversation for sure, as I mentioned to you that the letter included an inquiry about whether there was a desire for the club to sell the player's card, However, what has been reported are false rumors or judgments. "
In response to a question about the most prominent files discussed by the Technical Committee for Professionalism that took place this week "remotely" in the presence of Pedro Emmanuel, he said: "The truth was during the meeting several files were discussed, especially the team's preparations and the needs of the coach in the next stage, and Pedro Emmanuel always interprets a date The resumption of the Asian and League competitions.
He added: "Al Ain's goal is clear in the next stage, both locally and continually, despite the loss in the first and second rounds of the Asian Championship. There is a tendency to support the rows according to the needs of the coach as I mentioned to you and we ask God that we succeed in qualifying to the next stage because the chances are present in the event of the competition resuming ".
On the scenarios for the team's camp, Al Owais said: "There are several possibilities, and the initial reservations process has already taken place, and the first scenario is the usual by working to establish the camp outside the country because of the high temperatures during the camp period and at that point in particular the coaches prefer to subject the players to Intensive training doses two times a day and sometimes three, so it is preferable that the camp be outside the country.
He added: "The second scenario is that the camp will likely be held in Abu Dhabi, and despite the continued lack of clarity in setting the date for the resumption of the league championship, which preliminary reports indicate the return of the competition at the end of next August, we had to make all arrangements to prepare the team for that important stage, especially since Al Ain is a strong competitor. On the title where it was decided that the gathering would begin with medical examinations on the twentieth of June, with the camp starting in early July, and if there is another trend, the date of the camp will be adjusted in line with the technical staff’s vision to prepare the team as required. ”
In response to a question about the file of foreigners, especially since Al Ain is always associated with several names in both the summer and winter transfers, he said: "Certainly, Japanese Tsukasa Shyutani and Togolese Laba Kudjo are remaining in the team's list, and the coach also recommended that the keeper of Islam Islam Khan be kept in the club. Within the options offered for the next stage, Pedro prefers to recruit a player in the Hungarian Djodjak center to play in the right wing or that player who has the ability to play on the left and right sides and in the event that Islam does not continue, a player in the middle of the field will be contracted.
Regarding the media reports that linked Al Ain to negotiations with the Egyptian Al-Ahly defender, Ali Maaloul and his Swiss coach Rene Vyler, he said: "The Tunisian Maaloul is a good player, but he did not enter the list of Al Ain options at all, not even the coach Fyler, because the club has a capable coach that has achieved strong results with the team In the language of numbers and led Al Ain to the final of the “My Lord’s Cup” His Highness the President of the State “may God protect him”, and the team is currently in second place on the league competition ranking list by a difference of six points from the leader and there is a confrontation between the two teams that can reduce the lead difference during it to three, And that's definitely common. "
In response to a question about the offers that the club received to buy the player's Caio Canedo card, he said: “Indeed, the club received more than one offer to buy the Caio card, but the Portuguese coach stressed the importance of keeping the player as he serves his artistic style in addition to in the absence of the Togolese international Lapa Kudjo is good at carrying out the tasks assigned to him. "
Regarding Al-Ain negotiations with the national players, he said: "The coach mentioned in his report all the special needs of the team and most of the players who recommended their inclusion are still linked to contracts with their clubs, such as the Lima player, including the left appearance of a citizen and a wing in the right or left, a defense heart, and the direction at the moment is contracting with the back The easer is a resident of the highest level, and we have already opened the door to negotiations with Dutchman Antonio Musaba, 19, player of NEC Nijmegen, who belongs to the Dutch league in the second degree, and the parties concerned with the player’s transfer to Al Ain did not reach an agreement. In fact, the club went to contract with a “super” player. We ask God for success in reaching an agreement with the left-back player along with the player who has the potential to play as a maker and a left and right party. "
Commenting on a question about the club's contracts with residents in the last stage, which were not up to expectations, he said: "The truth is that there are resident players who appeared at a good level and some others were not reconciled with success, and I believe that the conditions for the registration of the resident in the club statements, which include the item of non-representation of the team His country reinforces the difficulty of finding the elements with the required specifications, and we all realize that elite players everywhere in the world always join the teams and it is rare to find a distinguished player who did not represent his country, but we will strive to find the player who can make the difference and was chosen for the team, but he did not participate In official matches, and we seek to include a left back as I mentioned to you, and a wing that possesses the capabilities of the maker and the coach, he prefers to contract with the heart of a citizen's defense, especially after his conviction of the return of a Shiotani as a foreigner and Raphael on the left.
On the fate of the resident players loaned in addition to those currently on the team's list, he said: “Certainly, the French Omar Yassin presented a good season under the leadership of Portuguese Pedro Emmanuel and is considered in the list of the first team currently, as well as Raphael, who showed a distinguished level in some games and recommended the coach to renew with him As for the Brazilian Jonatas, the Sudanese Serag and the Serbian Andrea, they will join the under-21 team at the club, and there are offers from several clubs to join them on loan.
