The playmaker of the Shabab Al-Ahly Basketball Club, Jassem Abdel-Reda (39 years), confirmed that the 2022 season will be his last in the basketball court, and that setting a date for his retirement as a player will not deter him from continuing his association with the game, in light of his current attendance in successive tournaments that allow him to transfer His experience to future generations, and the transition to the training corps, and training the teams of the dental stages.

"Continuing to play, despite my 39-year-old age, and setting the end of the 2022 season as a date for retirement, is due to the game's current lack of talented human elements that can support the first row of players, in addition to my physical and technical ability," Abdel-Reda told Emirates Today. , Which still qualifies me to continue playing towards achieving more titles and helping Al Ahly's youth team win the tough 2019-2020 season league title, due to the long suspension that lasted for seven months, due to the measures that prevailed in the state to limit the spread of the Corona virus, before returning and completing this This month, especially since we will face Sharjah on the 18th of this month, in the final match.

He explained: “The game lacks the presence of young talents, compared to the golden generation of the Emirates basket in the nineties and the beginning of the new millennium, when there were big stars, such as Hamdan Saeed, Abdullah Ibrahim, Adel Saqr, Ibrahim Abbas and Khalifa al-Shaiba, and the players of the previous generation were fighting to prove Their competence, and doing everything they have to join the national team, and at the present time this spirit does not exist in the younger generation, in light of the scarcity of talents that can leave our current generation, which is the last to whom the naming of talents applies, such as Rashid Nasser and Jasim Mohammed, Saleh Sultan, Talal Salem, Qais Omar, and others, especially since most of these players are in their thirties.

He added: “Setting a date to retire is due to my conviction to take sufficient time from effort, work on self-development, and undergo more training courses that qualify me when making the decision to retire, continue my association with the game, and enter the training corps in which I am keen to be a coach for the teams of the Sunni stages. It is necessary, according to my conviction, to properly qualify stage coaches, in order to give them experiences that qualify them to create future generations, and there are concepts that must be changed in clubs, by linking the progression and advancement of coaches to teams higher than the stages, with the product and quantity they provided in terms of making talented players. .

And he added, “At the beginning of last year, I went through the experience of an assistant coach under the supervision of the icon of the Emirates coaches, Abdul Hamid Ibrahim, who inspired me a lot with the need for citizen trainers to complete the march, to start from that date on to attend courses for coaches, the last of which was, last week, Under the supervision of the Technical Director of the Federation, Dr. Munir bin Al-Habib, in an experiment that provided me with a lot of benefit and knowledge about training mechanisms.

He continued: “I strive to allocate enough time to sit with different schools of coaches, to enter into dialogues and sessions with the current Al-Ahly youth coach, Italian Giovanni, and to discuss with him all matters about plans and analysis of the matches that we play, with the aim of increasing knowledge and experience before heading to the training path.” .

Jassim Abdul Redha spoke about his current ambitions as a player, and said: “My career is full of many achievements, as I won with Al Wasl the bronze of Asian clubs in 2007, then several titles with the clubs that I played in its ranks, whether local or Gulf, and most of what I currently aspire to be available "I have the opportunity with Al-Ahly youth to return to the Asian championships, and to award the Emirates basket a first historic title at the continental championship level."
