A large number of citizen players have shined in the past three rounds of the Arab Gulf Football League, and attracted attention to them days before the announcement of the national team squad that Colombian coach Jorge Luis Pinto is studying before presenting it to the media, in preparation for the meeting with Tajikistan this 12th and then Bahrain later this month.

Ismail Matar (37 years) appears to be one of the most prominent players who have emerged since the beginning of the season, and his presence was remarkable in the Shabab Al-Ahly match, when he scored a goal in a way that demonstrated his physical and technical readiness to defend the national team shirt in the coming period.

His teammate Tahnoun Al Zaabi also continued to provide remarkable levels with Al Annabi, as the player managed to secure a place for him in the starting line-up of the unit, and he was an important focus in the performance of the Serbian coach, Vuk Razovic.

Despite the decline in Al Ain’s results in the last two rounds of the league, there are more than one star player, led by Ryan Yaslam, who is now an alternative option for the injured Al Jazeera star Omar Abdel Rahman, and a competitor to Al Jazira player Khalfan Mubarak.

The brilliance of some of the names was not limited to the big clubs only, but the passion and generosity extended to the players in other clubs fighting for survival, led by the Hatta midfielder Abdullah Al-Sairi, who makes a great effort in the middle of the hurricane field, and is one of his most tender players in matches. The player said in previous media statements that he hoped to find his luck from being called up to the national team squad.

The strong presence of Al Dhafra Club at the beginning of this season was also reflected in its players, especially midfield star Suhail Al Mansoori, as a midfielder fluent in the offensive roles that enabled him to score on two occasions, during the Ajman meeting in the first round.

The defense of Sharjah, especially Shaheen Abdul Rahman, appeared in an exemplary fashion in the matches of the king that he played, specifically in front of Al-Wahda and Al-Ain. From Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium, with three expensive points.

Despite the presence of quite a few international players in the Shabab Al-Ahly club, defender Mohamed Jaber has demonstrated a strong presence in his team's league matches, and as a result of this brilliance, he was able to reserve a place for himself in the starting line-up of his team at the expense of prominent names, such as Hamdan Al Kamali and Salmin Khamis .

On the other hand, the general supervisor of football at the former Baniyas Club and sports analyst, Dr. Ahmed Al-Awadi, said that in the past three rounds, the league has produced many names that deserve to take their chances with the national team.

He told "Emirates Today": "I regret to say that the domestic league in all its seasons produces high-level players that the fans and critics see, and the coach of the national team who chooses the White lineup does not see them."

He added, "For some time, we have been calling for the inclusion of the unit’s leader, Ismail Matar, but to no avail. After his brilliance and high physical fitness, will he be ignored in the next selection of the white squad for this month’s camp?"

He continued, "What I fear is that the names that have emerged in the current season will be ignored, which affects their morale and causes their level to decline. The player shines in order to have a place with his country."

Al-Awadi continued: “It is the right of the national coach to have his convictions regarding his choices, but also the sports street has the right to know the reasons for excluding some names from those not included in the selection, so that no rumors are raised that affect Al-Abyad’s preparations for the next difficult phase.”
