Athletes considered that the technical level of the current season of the ADNOC Professional League decreased significantly, compared to the last season 20-2021, despite the effects of the “Corona” pandemic on that season, compared to the current period.

In an interview with "Emirates Today", they identified five reasons, which they considered the most prominent in explaining the humility of the technical level for the current season, and they said that it is reflected in the impact of the change that occurred compared to the last season, when the return to normal life began, and the players exited a lot, along with

Weak preparation periods for many teams, as well as the most prominent reasons for the low level of foreign players in most teams, lack of talent, and failure to choose distinguished residents, in addition to the impact of the team’s World Cup qualifiers schedule, and the pressure of matches.

And the former Al-Nasr team manager, Khaled Obaid, said, “One of the important reasons for the strength of the last season and the weakness of the current is to return to normal life, unlike last season, which the players fought after a long period of staying at home, and focusing only on maintaining their fitness and going to Training and matches, which increased the strength and focus of the players, and we witnessed the best season in the history of professionals.”

He added, "Most of the teams were also negatively affected due to the poor preparation period and the length of the rest period, which reached four months. For example, only four teams went to external preparation camps, while the large number of going out to recreational places negatively affected the players' fitness and concentration."

He said that the League does not ask about the season's calendar, because it has provided everything possible, and that the responsibility lies with the clubs in preparing the players and preparing them for the competition.

One of the manifestations of the decline in the technical level of the teams

Al-Ahly youth has moved away from the competition, despite winning three cups last season, as well as last season’s runner-up Baniyas, which has fallen a lot, and is currently in ninth place, and a big team like Al-Nasr has bid farewell to all tournaments, and did not achieve victory in 109 days until after the last victory over Al-Jazira In addition to the decline in the technical level of the Al-Jazira league title holder, and also the surprise of last season Khorfakkan, which is now struggling to survive in the current season.

National Team's Agenda

For his part, the director of the Emirates beach soccer team, Badr Hareb, said that "the rise in the level of teams depends largely on the excellence of foreign players," but he stressed that "in the current season, with the exception of one or two teams, most of the teams did not succeed in the choices of foreigners, and even Those who stayed from last season do not deliver what is expected of them.”

He also said that the team's agenda, which was launched since the end of last season, and continued for intermittent periods in the season, negatively affected the level of players, and caused a number of them to fatigue, and the absence of the public from the early periods of the current season, made the players lose the required enthusiasm.

A member of the board of directors and supervisor of the former Al-Wasl team, Hamid Yousef, confirmed that the injuries caused real confusion and confusion for a large number of coaches, and continued: “Most teams depend on specific players, but the coach is surprised by the absence of a player 24 hours before the match, and then the player returns After 10 days or two weeks to training, and this makes the coach have to involve him in the match when he is not ready, and he may be forced to do so.”

He added, "The great pressure of the matches on the players, especially the internationals, between the national team and the league, also negatively affected the general technical level of the league."
