The new - old coach of the national team, the Dutch Marvik, started his new journey in the technical leadership of the Whites, by taking the first steps by announcing the expanded initial list of the national team, the day before yesterday, which includes 31 players, awaiting the announcement of the final list after the end of the 12th round of the Gulf League Al-Arabi, which launched yesterday and ends today.

"Emirates Today" monitors 19 young players who represent the future of the national team and a real challenge for coach Marvik, and a number of them were the focus of the Dutch attention in the previous period in which he led the white, as he was famous for his desire to rely on the youth component, before his departure in December 2019, to return after a year To take on the same mission after the departure of Colombian coach Pinto, at last.

He invited nine of these 19 players on the national team’s final list.

Marvik, in agreement with the National Teams Committee, approved three gatherings to prepare and prepare the national team to resume the joint qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup and Asia 2023, the first of which begins after the end of the current round of the League.

The Dutch coach had relied in his first presence with the national team on a number of young players, most notably: Ali Saleh, Abdullah Ramadan, Jassem Yaqoub, Zayed Al Ameri, Al-Wahda goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Shamsi, Salem Rashid, Majid Sorour, and others, before leaving after participating in « Gulf 24 »because of poor results, and with his new comeback, a number of these players have become more experienced.

Among these players who appear in the last expanded list are: Ali Saleh (Al Wasl), Abdullah Suhail (Shabab Al Ahly), Zayed Al Ameri, Khalifa Al Hammadi and Abdullah Ramadan (Al Jazeera), Tahnoun Al Zaabi and Mohammed Al Shamsi (Al Wahda) Majed Surour (Sharjah), Hassan Al Mahrami (Bani Yas).

While there are other players who can strengthen the national team and provide a suitable substitute for the coach, after they have reserved their place in the starting line-up for their teams, and their average age does not exceed 22 years, which may rid the national team of the problem of the high average age of its players, which reached 30 years ago.

Among these players: Yahya Al-Ghassani (Al-Wahda), Muhammad Al-Attas (Al-Jazeera), Khaled Al-Dhanhani (Sharjah), Yahya Nader and Salem Abdullah (Al-Ain), Muhammad Pele, Ahmed Jamil (Shabab Al-Ahly), Hamdan Nasser (Fujairah), Majid Rashid and Ahmed Amer (Kalba).

On the other hand, Al-Nasr player Jassem Yaqoub, who did not find a place in the starting line-up this season, came out of this list, in addition to suffering an injury with the former coach of the Colombian national team, Pinto, in his first gathering with the national team, in addition to the player of Shabab Al-Ahly, Eid Khamis. .

The technical analyst, former director of Al-Nasr team, Khaled Obaid, confirmed that this season's league has produced many young players who are able to strengthen the national team. He told «Emirates Today»: “There is a large group of Olympic team players who were able to be present in the basic formation of their teams in the league. And they got the opportunity, and these are the ones who must work on them, in the coming period, in the national team rallies and during friendly matches, because they can serve the Whites over the next 10 years, due to their low average age, in addition to the experience they gained.

Regarding the disappearance of some members, including Jasim Yaqoub, he added: “I do not know where this distinguished player disappeared. He is one of the best national league players, but he did not get his chance this season, and it is not just his problem, but there are a large number of players who disappeared for this reason, I would have liked to be loaned to any team in order to be on the stadium and to benefit from it ».

Obeid concluded his speech by confirming that talent exists, but it needs planning, and that this is a major role for the National Teams Committee, in order to create an opportunity for these players to be present in the official matches.

Khaled Obaid:

Marvik believes in building the national team and relying on youth, and he had previously given the opportunity to a number of them in his first term previously.
