Athletes confirmed that youth Al-Ahly and Sharjah are the most ready to win the Arab Gulf League title for the 2020-2021 season, confirming their superiority over other clubs in terms of stability at the technical level and the quality of players owned by each team, while they indicated that Al-Nasr has a great opportunity to compete, according to the excellent contracts made Signed by the Austrian Football Company during the summer transfer period.

They told «Emirates Today» that the levels presented by the Arab Gulf League clubs during the friendly matches, in addition to the participation of Al Ain, Al-Ahly and Sharjah Youth, initially revealed the shape of the competition for the league title in the new season, explaining that the majority of the clubs are always nominated to compete for the centers. The first has several problems.

For his part, former member of the Board of Directors of Bani Yas Club, Ahmed Al-Awadi, confirmed that Sharjah and Al-Ahly youth are relatively superior to all the Arab Gulf League clubs in terms of their readiness and the elements in each team. Official in the AFC Champions League, while other clubs' readiness was limited to playing some friendly matches within the country.

He added, "Despite the disappointing results achieved by the UAE clubs in the continental championship, I think that Sharjah and Al-Ahly youth are the most prepared, especially on the physical level, while Al Ain did not present the offers that many of the team expected."

He continued: “I see that Al-Nasr has a very strong opportunity to compete for the league title, after the club made good contracts, but the problem of the dean is that he is nominated in every season, according to the work that the club does in (Mercato), but the return is not commensurate with this work, As for Al-Jazira and Al-Wehda, the situation for each of them seems ambiguous, and the indicators do not make the fans of each team feel reassured.

For his part, former member of the Board of Directors of Al Wasl Club, Sultan Hareb, said that Sharjah is the most prepared, explaining that "the king" has great stability in the level in the last two seasons, in addition to the good contracts that the management made during the summer transfer period.

He added: “Al Ain appeared in the AFC Champions League competition, without an artistic identity, and needs a lot of work. As for victory, I see it as the most stable at the administrative and technical levels, and the most prominent characteristic of (the dean) is the presence of the sports director, the Dutchman Jan Verslein. He contributes to the correct selection of the players the team needs, and this was demonstrated through the contracts of (Al-Azraq). As for Al-Wehda and Al-Jazira, although they are always candidates to compete for the title, I see that the outcome of the foreign players will determine the fate of the two teams.

He pointed out that Al-Ain, Al-Jazira and Al-Wehda clubs have more than one problem, most notably the new signings, and said: “The three clubs are among the favorites to compete for the title, but they need to include new players to support the bench, especially since the new season will be exceptional, and any team may face Several absences, while it is not possible to rely only on the players of the under-21 team and the youth, to compensate for these absences, especially for the teams seeking to compete for the title.
