The Portuguese coach, Leonardo Jardim, proved that he is one of the most prominent coaches in the current edition of the ADNOC Professional League, after he technically excelled in managing the big matches, and contributed to the return of Al-Ahly youth to the competition for the top positions, by defeating three of the most prominent candidates for the title. Al-Ahly youth scored an important victory over Al-Ain, the day before yesterday, with two goals against a goal in the eighth round, for Al-Ahly youth to raise its score to 16 points, and the “leader” balance stopped at 13.
Jardim confirmed that he is a "professor" in managing the big matches technically, after he surpassed the coaches, Portuguese Carvalhal, former coach of Al-Wahda, Al-Jazira coach, Dutch Marcel Kaiser, and finally Al-Ain coach, Ukrainian Riberov.
Shabab Al-Ahly lost in the first round at home against Sharjah with two goals without a response, which is the only defeat for the Portuguese coach in the matches he played against direct competitors for the title, as it was the first official confrontation of Jardim, who despite his loss against Roman Cosmin, but he made a strong match, and almost At the very least, it equalises.
On the other hand, Jardim, who won the Asian Champions title in the last edition with the Saudi Al Hilal, showed his capabilities wonderfully against Al Wahda, Al Jazira and Al Ain, thanks to his technical interventions and the substitutions he made in every match.
He dealt with the events of the Al-Ahly and Al-Ain match very well, despite the guest team's advance with an early goal, scored by Mohamed Marzouk by mistake, in addition to the injury suffered by Eid Khamis, but Jardim pushed the Uzbek Ganyev, who was the turning point in the performance of the "Dubai Knights". And contributed to the improvement of the performance of Argentine Cartabia and Brazilian Cesar, after Ganyev gave the team control of the midfield, with the presence of the Iranian Ahmed Nourallah.
Although Al Ain advanced with an early goal, the visiting team did not benefit from this advantage, and Jardim imposed his style of play, thanks to the high pressure method on the "leader" midfield.
The goal of the Syrian Omar Khribin, before the end of the first half, contributed to the return of the owner of the land to the atmosphere of the meeting, while the second half witnessed an advantage from Al-Ahly youth, who added the second goal through the Uzbek substitute Ganyev.
Jardim said in the press conference that "overcoming a big team like Al-Ain, the title holder, has great pleasure and happiness."
He added, "The commitment of the Al-Ahly youth players on the field, their mentality and their high concentration have made it possible for us to achieve an important and valuable victory."
Regarding the brilliance of Ganyev, after he participated as a substitute, he said: "Ganyev is an important player, and he always performs strongly, regardless of the number of minutes he plays."
• Shabab Al-Ahly won by the same result 2-1 over Al-Wahda, Al-Jazira and Al-Ain.
