Despite this, preparations are continuing for a resurgence of activity. The Lebanese Federation launched the Lebanese Beach Soccer Championship on Saturday at the “Summer Beach” pool stadium, where the defending Youth Wing champion began Group A competitions by defeating Al-Jaish 7-5. For the youth of the wing, Ahmad Atris, Muhammad Zayoun, Qassem Zayoun (2), Abdo Qaddour (2) and Hussein Zayoun, and for the army, Sameh Jalal, Ali Aqil and Abbas Zainuddin (3). The municipal team also beat Al Hurria Saida 4-3. Recorded for Qusta, Mazen Jamal (3) and Islam Suleiman, and for Freedom Saida Muhammad al-Jamali, Muhammad Diab Ali Hashem. Sahel Youth defeated “Shoot Production” 4-3. He scored for the winner, Muhammad Shami Haidar (3) and Hussein Abdullah, and for the loser, Hassan Al-Qadi (2) and Muhammad Khalil.
The Beirut team defeated the “Blues” 7-2. Haitham Fattal, Muhammad Matar, Ibrahim Diab (2), Haitham Ajami, Mustafa Al-Zain and Muhammad Suleiman scored for the winner. For the loser, Mohamed Wahbi and Hassan Mansour.
Saturday also witnessed the end of the first round of the friendly Al-Ahd soccer tournament, which was dubbed the Muhammad Atwi Martyr Cup, a good move despite the mistake of holding the invasive Al-Najma Al-Shabab match on Friday, at the same time as the deceased player’s funeral, as it was better to postpone it 24 or 48 an hour with respect to the glorious event. The celebration of the match was justified by the insistence of the two teams to carry it out after a remote meeting held between the organizing committee and the officials of the two teams, but the responsibility lies mainly with the organizing committee, since the final decision is for he. Instead of raising the banners and wearing the black badges and standing for a minute of silence, it would have been more effective not to celebrate the game and postpone it for a day or two, even if that ruined the weekend for some.
The important thing is that the first round of the tournament ended on Saturday with a fierce encounter between Shabab Al-Sahel and Al-Borg at Al-Ahed Stadium, and the victory was given by Shabab Al-Sahel, who beat Al-Burj 2 -1 and joined Al-Najmah in the semi-finals following their first win over Al-Shabab Al-Ghaziah on Friday 5-1. Al-Nijmeh leads the second group and Al-Sahel is behind, which means that the semi-final will see two heavy clashes, the first between Al-Ansar and Shabab Al-Sahel on Tuesday at Al-Ahd Stadium at 4: 30 pm, and the second between Al-Nijmeh and Al-Ahed on Wednesday at the same stadium at the same time.
Al-Sahel’s qualification to the semi-finals was due to the fact that it was the best match of the match, especially its stars Haidar Awada and Ali Al-Mousawi, who scored both goals in the first half, while Muhammad Nasser scored the only goal. Al-Burj in the match and throughout the tournament three minutes before the end of the match. Sahelis dusted themselves off from their “strange” loss to Al-Nijmeh 2-4 days ago, as “Blue” regained their splendor and was very convincing in the match.
The tower only scored one goal in 270 minutes!
On the other hand, the tower did not deserve to win and qualify after the modest offer made by the team, since its players did not wake up until the last quarter of an hour of the match. The exit of the tower seemed logical after his participation in the tournament, which left the impression that there was a problem in the team, especially at the offensive level, since Al-Burj played three games, tied negatively in two with Al-Najma and Al-Shabab Al-Ghazia, who was better than Al-Burj in the match, and lost from the coast, and thus did not score. “Yellow” has only one goal in 270 minutes. What added to the tower’s problems was the “escape” of its defender, Abdel Fattah Ashour, who left for the Emirates to work there without notifying anyone, so the club’s leaders woke up on Saturday with the news of the Ashour’s journey, which was a shock to them as there was no indication of the player’s intention to depart for the Emirates. . This order will force the curators to act quickly two weeks before the tournament starts to compensate for Ashour’s trip in the event that no agreement is reached with him, returning him to Lebanon. On the one hand, and the most important thing is that the team officials sit down and calmly read the results of participating in the friendly session to fill in the gaps that have appeared. This is what the officials will do, as a senior club source revealed to “Al-Akhbar”. In the end, the goal of participating in the update days is to discover the gaps and address them before the start of the official competitions, provided that the club managers are honest with themselves and do not bury their heads in the sand or get distracted by battles in social networks, especially with the media, which do not serve the club.
Nader Matar, where to?
A question that was the most prominent in the last two days in light of the contradictory information and its acceleration at the same time, before a lot of rumors about the fate of Nader Matar for the new season.
Some say that Matar will play with Al-Ansar, and has signed a contract with him. Others assure that the contract has not been signed and that the negotiations between Al-Nijmeh and Mattar are ongoing, despite the leakage of other internal star parties confirming the suspension of the negotiations, which implies that there is more than one opinion at the club about the player Nader Matar.
Yesterday another rookie emerged related to the legality of Matar’s signing with a team other than Al-Najmah if he decided to do so. Negotiations between Al-Ansar and the player Matar are known to have started after the Lebanese Football Association resolved the player’s complaint against his club, as the union decided to cancel Matar’s contract and force the Najma club to pay the player. $ 13,000 as compensation for the financial fees owed to the club.
Before that, the president of the Al-Ansar club, Nabil Badr, did not enter the negotiation line regarding the player’s contract with the club, but after the federal decision was issued, Badr personally contacted Mattar and opened the door to negotiations with him.
Matar came close to joining Al-Ansar after the termination of his contract, but at the same time he went to the International Court of Arbitration “Cass” and paid the fees he owes, filing a lawsuit against his club for the collection of 260 One thousand dollars.
Here came the legal newcomer who does not allow the player to benefit from the federation’s decision to terminate the contract, and at the same time goes to the “cup” to collect the full value of his contract. Either you accept the union’s decision in full, that is, terminate the contract and $ 13,000, or you go to the “cup” and your signature remains with the star, without the right to sign with another club until the court issues its decision. , which is expected to be at the end of the current year, that is, after the start of the current season. The position of the Union seems logical, since no party can divide the decision. Either it is fully accepted and committed on all its merits, or another option is chosen to nullify the effects of the union’s decision.
But what is the truth about what is happening in the Nejmeh club at the level of the player Matar?
At a time when Al-Ansar entered into negotiations with Matar, there were stellar matches, especially Vice President Ali Al-Saba, seeking to keep the player at the club, with the support of the club’s president, Asad Sakkal. The latter moved away from the direct image as a result of Matar’s insistence not to enter into direct negotiations with him, confining him to his friend Wassim Nahle, who was in direct contact with Saqal.
At this time, Sabaa received the file, according to star sources within the administration who are familiar with the file, according to Al-Akhbar. Al-Sabaa managed to persuade Saqal to pay Matar $ 30,000, which is the amount he is claiming as a fee for himself last season.
Al-Sabaa also settled with Matar on a new one-season contract in exchange for $ 5,000 as a down payment and 15 million pounds as a monthly salary. Add to them the thirty thousand dollars from last season, this means that Matar will get approximately 457 million pounds from Najma. This is a number that exceeds what you will get with the fans, as the information indicates that the “green” offer that was mentioned in the contract sent by the club is of six thousand dollars as the first payment plus 207 million pounds for one season.
It seemed that Matar was close to returning to the club, as Vice President Ali Al-Sabaa managed to convince him, relying on a set of points, among which he highlights that Matar would get a greater amount than the financial amount of Al-Ansar, based on the fact that Al-Ansar’s contract could be better, but last season’s $ 30,000 made the difference. .
The second point is that Killing will shorten the path and you will not need to write your signature on the TMS as long as it is signed with the star. And the third point is that Matar will remain in the star, a matter that the player has always sought and confirmed on more than one occasion.
The informed administrator reveals to Al-Akhbar that Matar has returned and he retracted his decision to return to Al-Nijmeh after receiving a series of pieces of information that made him hesitate to return. He obtained an audio recording of a very high-ranking official at the club expressing his intention to “get revenge” on Matar after his return to the club, in addition to the negative atmosphere that one of the club’s influential people spread around Matar, which confirms that there are parties that do not want his return.
The administration cites what happened on Saturday in terms of the news leak that negotiations with Matar had stopped, “at a time when my colleague Ali Al-Sabaa was in direct contact with him. Which explains that it is an attempt by the official, who leaked the news and insisted on broadcasting it live during the broadcast of the events of the Al-Burj and Al-Sahel youth match in the Al-Ahd tournament, to obstruct the efforts of the Seven , that they were close to returning Matar to Al-Nijmeh, ”the chief steward of the stars told Al-Akhbar.
Until this moment, the fate of the matter, its conclusion and the path that Matar will take is still unknown. A lot of talk, leaks and other contradictions, but there is no doubt that the next few hours will reveal the truth of the matter and find out if Matar signs the contract with the fans, and if he changes his mind regarding the issue of the lawsuit in the ‘cup’ or what the door to return to the star is still open. .
