The national team suffered a lot, during the first four rounds of the final stage of the Asian qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, the absence of a real playmaker, a role that Al-Ahly youth star Omar Abdel Rahman (Amouri) was playing with distinction, who has been absent from football for a long time due to The injury, as the date of his return with his team, which he joined in the winter transfer window last season, has not yet been determined, and he has not appeared in any matches so far.

The local league did not succeed in producing a player of the size and capabilities of Omar Abdel Rahman, who was the first mover and engineer of the team's offensive midfield, for many years, in addition to his high scoring ability.

Since he left the Al Ain team, moved to Al Hilal Saudi Arabia, then Al Jazira, and finally settled in Al Ahly youth, he is no longer as strong as it was before, and has suffered a lot due to the recurring injury that kept him away for long periods of time from the teams and the national team.

Despite the availability of many stars for the team, but the problem of the playmaker is clear, and the absence of a star that compensates Amouri is a matter that greatly affected the attacking power of the team, and no other star was able to take his place, including Fabio Lima and Caio, who was betting on one of them to occupy this place, and he did not score. The team has only three goals in four rounds, including two goals by Ali Mabkhout, and a goal by Caio.

The former supervisor of the team, Hassan Suhail, told "Emirates Today": "The opportunity has become difficult, especially after losing many points that were at hand, but there is still hope and points, and God willing, the players will be able to return despite the difficulty of the upcoming matches."

He added, "Any team that has a real playmaker will make a big difference for him, not only the UAE national team, and (Amouri) is a big star, but he has been absent for a long time during which he did not touch football, and therefore his return will be difficult at the present time, due to not playing, We may suffer for many years to find someone to replace him, and the solution to that is to find a mechanism or a way of playing to compensate for the absence of the playmaker, which coach Marvik has not succeeded in so far.”

He continued, “In addition to the absence of the playmaker, I think that the team lacked a very important characteristic, which is the absence of the fighting spirit of the players, because these players are not the ones we relied on at the beginning, and this spirit that appeared in the semi-finals, and this spirit usually dispenses with skills. The individual, it is clear that there is a significant drop in the level of the players and we do not know why, we saw a high fighting spirit from the other teams, while it was clear the great physical decline of the team and the absence of spirit, especially in the second half, the problem may be due to poor preparation or psychological preparation, and therefore we hope that The situation is returning to normal with players we have seen before and we know their true level.”

Suhail concluded: “The situation has become difficult, but it is not impossible, and the players must win all the upcoming matches, which is not impossible, due to the absence of great differences between all the participating teams, only with good preparation and preparation for the upcoming matches will this be possible.”

• "Amouri" has suffered for a long time in the past years due to injury, and it is not known when he will return to play with Al-Ahly youth.

• Only 3 goals scored by the national team in four rounds of the World Cup qualifiers, two goals for Lamphot, and one for Caio.
