Athletes confirmed that the national football team paid the price for the technical and administrative instability in its system, as well as the frequent change of coaches who have trained it over the past five years, which caused its exit from the race to reach the 2022 World Cup in Doha, after its recent loss against its Australian counterpart. -2 Within the Asian supplement that qualifies for the World Cup, stressing that the team needed complete stability in the special system, which is reflected positively on the return of the players on the field, stressing that what happened to Al-Abyad is also a natural product of the outputs of the local league over the past years.
They told "Emirates Today" that the team has suffered in the past period from the instability of its system because the technical staff of the team has changed a lot in a short period, and the team has also witnessed many changes at the administrative level of the team, as well as even at the level of the National Teams and Technical Affairs Committee changed more than once. Since the beginning of its campaign in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the national team has been punished by a large number of coaches, demanding the need to rebuild the team again and work to address the problems that caused its failure.
Five coaches have trained the national team during the past five years, starting with Argentine Edgar Bauza, who took charge of the national team in February 2017, then succeeded by Italian Alberto Zaccheroni, followed by Dutchman Marvik, who coached the team in the first stage from March 22, 2019 to December 4 From the same year, Serbian coach Ivan Jovanovic succeeded him during the period from December 2019 to April 2020, followed by the Colombian Jorge Pinto, and then contracting with Marvik again before contracting with the current coach Arruabarina.
A former member of the Board of Directors of the Football Association and technical analyst, Mohamed Matar Ghorab, said that “the process of reaching the World Cup is related to strategies built over years, and not all matters can be remedied in the last match through the Asian supplement that qualifies for the World Cup, and the players are relied on in the process of correcting all errors.” previous ».
Ghorab stressed that "the last stage in the team's journey in the qualifiers, in which everyone made an effort, whether it was by the National Teams and Technical Affairs Committee or the last technical staff of the team, as well as by the team's management and even by the players themselves, but the matter remains in the end related to the outputs of Emirates football. In general, over the past four years, which will not give better than this level at which the national team appeared.”
Ghorab pointed out that "Aruabarina assumed the task of coaching the national team a short time ago, so he cannot stand on every small and large in the team, whether at the individual or collective level, not even at the level of collecting information about the competing teams."
Ghorab stressed that "the Football Association should have corrected the previous mistakes by the necessity of making stability towards the team's system because there was no stability either in the technical devices or in the management of the team, not even in the national teams."
For his part, the former international player and technical analyst, Abdul Rahman Muhammad, confirmed that the current team is a product of the league’s outcomes, but he stressed, in turn, that the players who represented the team are the best, but the team’s problem was the instability in the team’s system and in the coaches who trained it, and said: « It is not reasonable during a tournament or qualifying for the World Cup to change four or five coaches,” stressing that these changes mean that there was no policy or study from the beginning in terms of preparing the team to compete for the qualification card for the World Cup, noting that it is always known that stability on The level of players for a certain period is a very important issue, but there are players who represent the team in two matches and then go, so the instability affected the team.
Abdul Rahman Muhammad said, "I thank the players of the national team for the great effort they made during the 90 minutes of the match against Australia, and they were in good faith, and presented a high level and were the best in the match as a whole, but there are small details in which the team was unsuccessful, which led to the loss and the exit of the team."
Abdul Rahman Muhammad added, “In my opinion, the first half was the players’ half that outperformed the Australian players in everything and in carrying out the tasks of the match, but in the second half, which is called the coaches’ half, Australia coach Graham outperformed Arruabarina, for example, the first change by entering Yahya Nader, although he is a good player, but he was not employed in the match correctly, and he was supposed not to withdraw Abdullah Ramadan. There is also another important point. When the coach thought of removing an attacking player, Ali Mabkhout, why did he not push another striker, Tigali, who is characterized by physical strength and can excel in tackles and high balls? ».
And Abdul Rahman Muhammad considered that "Aruabarina was unsuccessful in his reading of the second half, which caused the loss, in addition to the decline in the physical aspect of the players."
As for the director of the football team at Al-Nasr Club, former technical analyst Khaled Obaid, he said: “The players of the national team played a great match, but the experience of the Australian team in the end outperformed the team because it has players who play in major leagues,” stressing that “administrative and technical instability and the abundance of The change of coaches as well as the national team committees during the last period is the main reason for what happened to the national team.”
Khaled Obaid added: "We should not blame the coach only for what happened to the team, given that the team has also suffered in the past period, a lot of coaches changing because each coach comes with a different idea, perception and options than the other."
Khaled Obaid pointed to the importance of having a long-term strategy for the team, considering that, as an example, "there are many teams such as Germany and France that have failed, but they have maintained the stability of their technical systems at the level of coaches."
Khaled Obaid stressed the importance of choosing the national team coach based on an integrated and well-thought-out project, and then being patient with it.
