Ibrahim Abdul Malik, a member of the Board of Directors of Shabab Al Ahly Football Company, stressed that Emirati clubs are not technically ready to compete in the AFC Champions League, whose matches are to be completed from the day after tomorrow, noting that there are several reasons behind this, most notably the short preparation period due to the suspension of sports activity Local since last March 15th, and facing competitors better than them technically, especially since the tournaments in their country have been resumed.
He told "Emirates Today": "Al-Ahly youth is the same as other local clubs. He is preparing for the Asian championship in an internal camp, and he will lose the efforts of the Brazilian players, Leonardo and Carlos Eduardo, due to injury, while the Spanish players Pedro Conde and the Uzbek, Aziz Ganiyev, are ready to participate with the team," explaining: "Youth Al-Ahly will be its main dependence in the AFC Champions League on national players, because the club is full of a constellation of national players, and currently we are working day and night to prepare the team for the Asian championship."
