Al-Loughani: Al-Zaabi did not retire because of the Six-Day ... he suffers from a knee injury

The president of the Kalba Football Association, Ali Hussein Al-Loughani, confirmed that his management tried to dissuade goalkeeper Yusef Al-Zaabi (36 years) from his decision to retire permanently, but he adheres to his decision, and the management respects his decision and wishes him success in his future life.

Al-Loughani denied that the result of the brutal loss suffered by the team with a clean six against Al-Jazira in the previous round of the Arab Gulf League, caused the player's sudden retirement, and said: “We are proud of goalkeeper Yusef Al-Zaabi as one of the sons of the Tigers, and his decision to retire is not the result of the Al-Jazira match, but As a result of an injury he had suffered in the knee for some time, in spite of that, he was training and playing normally, with sincerity, loyalty and love in the club's slogan.

Al-Loughani told Emirates Today: “The goalkeeper Yousef Al-Zaabi is considered one of the loyal sons of the club who graduated in the Sunni stages, and played for several clubs, then returned to the Kalba Federation and played with him, and when he felt that he was unable to continue due to personal and health conditions of his own, he announced With all courage, he preferred to stay away and make room for the new generation to take its chance, and we are in the Kalba Federation despite our sadness over his decision, but we raise the hat with pride in him and the club’s doors will remain open to him through several areas available to him in the club, whether in the field of training or administrative work. .

Al-Loughani said, "The Kalba administration puts its full confidence in two goalkeepers Jamal Abdullah, Khaled Al Balushi and their fellow goalkeepers."
