The technical staff of the national football team, led by Colombian coach Jorge Luis Pinto, announced yesterday the new list for the Whites, which includes 27 players, in preparation for an indoor camp in Dubai, from the ninth to the end of this month, in preparation for the joint qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup. And the Asian Cup scheduled next year.

The new list witnessed several observations on the new list, represented by the persistence of the previous names themselves, except for some minor changes, and the return of some players who emerged with their teams, finally, such as: Al-Nasr players: Habib Al-Fardan, Mahmoud Khamis, and Sharjah defender Shaheen Abdul Rahman, and the list included Some players who have not yet provided the required technical return, such as Al Ain Caio and Muhammad Shaker players, and Al Wasl player Ali Saleh, while the list ignored some of the players who distinguished themselves with their teams, most notably Ismail Matar, who shone remarkably and Tahnoon Al Zaabi. As well as Al Dhafra goalkeepers Khaled Al-Senani, Al-Ahly youth Majid Nasser, and the continued presence of the two goalkeepers Khaled Issa, despite his decline in his level, and Ali Khasif despite his significant weight increase.

The list saw the exclusion of three elderly players, namely: Ismail Ahmed (37 years), Walid Abbas (35 years), and Tariq Ahmed (32 years). At the same time, six players over 30 years of age continued to be included in the list, they are: Youssef Jaber (35 years), Tigali (35 years), Ali Khasif (33 years), Faris Jumaa (32 years), Khamis Ismail (31 years), and goalkeeper Adel Al Hosani (31 years) in the national team list in addition to the continuing absence of Omar Abdul Rahman from the team list It is also noticeable through the elements that have been selected that the average age of the players is relatively lower than it was previously.

For his part, the former Olympic team coach, Abdul Majeed Al-Nimr, told Emirates Today: “There are players who deserved to be on the list, but unfortunately they were ignored, such as: Ismail Matar, who has been presenting a distinguished level since the beginning of the current season, and compared to some players. , Who was chosen, he is the best undisputedly, and he is an experienced player, and although he cannot play 90 minutes, he helps the national team in some important parts, besides that his presence is important to the team as a player with great experience, as well as his presence would have compensated (Amouri), and I also wished for the presence of Al Ain Mohammed Abdul Rahman.

Al-Nimr added: “One of the important observations in my estimation is that the new list has witnessed a decrease in the average age of the players than it was previously, through a quick reading of the ages of the selected players, and this is a positive thing, although we are looking to decrease further until we reach 100%. ».

Al-Nimr concluded: “Although the list witnessed the selection of older players, such as: Youssef Jayer and Tigali, to provide them with good technical returns, on the other hand, there are young players who were not chosen, because they did not appear at the required level.”
