Khaled Obaid: The first round did not produce a convincing player.. And the audience confirms:

Al Ain's lead.. the most prominent event at the end of the first leg of the league

Al Ain team won the first round and the title of Winter Champion in the ADNOC Professional League, with 30 points, six points behind Al Wahda, the second-placed player, and seven points from Shabab Al Ahly, Sharjah and Al Jazeera.

Although Al Ain suffered a loss in the 13th round of the championship against Sharjah, it maintained its lead thanks to its results in the previous matches and the exploitation of the gifts of the competing teams, to move away at the top of the championship and be the most prominent team so far, despite its stumble last season, which ended in sixth place by 16 points Al Jazeera, the title holder.

The dismissal of the national coach, Abdulaziz Al-Anbari, came from the prominent events in the first round of the tournament, after wonderful seasons spent by King Al-Sharqawi and his fans with the coach, who returned the team to the podiums and led it to the crowning of the league shield.

Amouri is the story of Emirati football that was exhausted by injuries, he returned after a great absence and appeared in the Al-Ahly youth shirt, and began to recover and scored two goals in two tournaments, and the audience is waiting for him in the national team looking for a playmaker, and Omar Abdul Rahman succeeded during the 13th round in achieving his first goal in the league championship After 668 days of absence from scoring the net, specifically since his goal with Al Jazira against Al Ain in March 2020, and his last goal with Shabab Al Ahli is the first with his right foot since his goal with Al Ain against Dubai in 2012.

Al-Jazira’s departure from the top of the league poses many questions, especially since the team includes a group of young players led by the historical scorer Ali Mabkhout, but he moved away by a large and unjustified difference from the lead, as he received 17 goals in the first round, a large number for the holder of the league title.

Round 13 witnessed the relegation battle ignited after Al Dhafra drew with Al Oroba and the Emirates won, although the indicators confirm that the two descending teams will be from the three teams, in addition to Ajman, the 15-point champion, who unjustifiably stopped achieving positive results after he had reached the big box.

"Emirates Today" asked a question about the most prominent event in the first round of the ADNOC Professional League on the social networking site "Twitter": "We shared our opinion... What are the most prominent events in the first round of the ADNOC Professional League?"

Four options were monitored: Al-Jazeera's departure, Al-Ain's lead, Al-Anbari's dismissal, and Amouri's return.

The 194 participants in the voting chose Al-Ain's top spot in the league as the most prominent event with 37.5%, the dismissal of Al-Anbari 34.1%, the return of Amouri 23.3%, and Al-Jazira's move away from the top of the league by 5.1%.

For his part, technical analyst Khaled Obaid agreed with the audience that Al Ain’s lead was the most prominent event in the first round, and that the team was the most convincing unlike the rest of the teams, and deserved the lead without any trouble after the rest of the teams moved away from their technical level, and indicated that what was wrong The first role is that no convincing player appears, except for Al-Wahda player Tahnoun Al-Zaabi.

Khaled Obaid told "Emirates Today": "Unfortunately, the first round did not produce any foreign player, resident or citizen who had a word in the tournament, which is certainly not good, in addition to the simple presence of the international player Ahmed Khalil, and then disappearance without reason, and it was the return of Amouri is also one of the positive things, but we are still waiting for him to return to his previous well-known technical level.”

He added, "The far and unexpected technical level greatly affected the team's appearance in the Asian qualifiers, and in turn, the contract with the expert coach Ayman Al-Ramadi contributed to turning the balance of the relegation struggle and staying in the league under his leadership of the Emirates team, and achieving four points in two matches to ignite the conflict in the second round of the tournament. ».
