With the passage of the rounds, the level of Bani Yas fell, and I said that things are starting to return to normal. But I was more surprised when they returned to the top two rounds ago, and they are currently competing for the title mainly. ”

Baniyas, under the leadership of Romanian coach Isela, turned from looking for warm positions to a team competing for the title, and the coach led the "heavenly" to the best start after he scored the full score (nine points) under his leadership in the first three matches, which did not happen over the seasons. The 10 professional clubs the team has fought.

It was a difficult season and the competition reached the last round, which confirms that the level is on the rise.

Saeed pointed out that Bani Yas was a distinguished team in the current season, and appeared in a strong level in all matches, and said: “Even if they did not win the title, they are non-crowned champions, certainly they (the black horse) for the season, as my friend in Baniyas Club told me. , He was right in what he mentioned, and certainly what he went to has been achieved now with evidence that their club is competing for the title until the last round.

It is noteworthy that Bani Yas broke his record, which remained steadfast for seven seasons by obtaining 53 points so far, as it was the largest score in the league (47 points) scored in the 2012-2013 season, which he achieved from 14 wins and five draws, while He lost in seven rounds, his players scored 50 goals and conceded 37, and finished the season in fourth place.
