Al-Ansar Players with the Tournament Cup (Adnan Hajj Ali)
The conclusion of the session at the Al-Ahed stadium was overwhelming with the presence of the president of the Lebanese Football Association Hashem Haidar, the general secretary Jihad Al-Shaf and former president Omar Ghandour, as well as various sports figures, including a member of the Racing Club Administrative Committee, George Murad, who offered a shield to the families of the late player who attended the stadium. . A notable presence, especially from Haider and Al-Shaf, after they were invited by the president of the Organizing Committee, the secretary of the Pact Muhammad Asi, while Haji Omar Ghandour asked to attend to see the match that was expected from many. Haidar and Al-Shahaf attended in support of the tournament, which was an important preparatory station for the teams before the start of the tournament, and most importantly in honor of the memory of the late player who carried the cup with his name, which the Ansaris carried yesterday to the town of Harouf and placed on the grave of the martyr player.
Al-Ansar won the title after losing 2-1 to Al-Nijmeh, it was scored by Hassan Shaitou (Money) and Ahmed Hegazy, while Mahmoud Seblini scored for the star. Seblini’s goal was his sixth of the tournament, winning the scorer title, beating Al-Ansar player Hassan Maatouk, who scored five goals.
It is true that the course is friendly and its title is moral, but its conclusion was very competitive, and some people forgot its friendliness and symbolism in terms of the name it bears. Each team was trying with all their might to win the title, so the fans triumphed and the star failed for the result and not for the show, but those responsible made a mistake by not receiving the medals for second place, already that its technical director Musa Hajij considered that what happened was a play and refused to let his team receive the medals, according to the head of the organizing committee. Mohamed Assi, after inquiring about the reason why the coronation was limited only to the Ansar teams.
Among the most outstanding repercussions of the tournament was the change of mandate of its coach and the appointment of Reda Antar as technical director
Tension may be the reason for this lapse after the end of the match witnessed objections from the star players to referee Muhammad Issa for not counting a penalty kick, which is the star players’ third claim in the encounter with a penalty kick. But the scenarios of the cases, although they were not clear as a result of the television broadcast, which was unsuccessful, but the arbitration ruling was that there were no sanctions for the star, according to former international referee Radwan Ghandour, who analyzed the cases in your Facebook page. Stellar tensions led to the dismissal of Nejmeh team captain Abbas Atwi for his strong objection and the way he treated referee Issa, noting that he was not the only one who acted in this way, as the two former international players Muhammad Ghaddar and Ali Hammam followed suit, which is also surprising for players of this stature who have their experience. And his professional experience abroad.
Events that indicate the character of the competition between clubs, which will undoubtedly appear in the league, which will start next Saturday.
The session ended, which arrived in a timely manner, which made up for the absence of the Elite and Challenge Cups due to the Coronavirus and the actions of the Lebanese government in this context. In addition to its importance in terms of team readiness, it had more than one identifiable indicator.
In the first place, the session revealed failures in a series of teams, especially the time that moved in this sense and made a technical change by appointing coach Reda Antar as the team’s technical director, succeeding Spaniard Daniel Jiménez, who will be his assistant . A compromise decision came after losing to Al-Nijmeh 2-4 in the semi-finals of the tournament and the image the team appeared in, so the choice was to name Antar after Googling several names to light. of very narrow options days before the start of the league.
Second, the tournament and the level of the eight participating teams showed that all top-tier clubs are very close and the differences are minimal, especially between the clubs nominated to compete for the title, specifically Al-Ahd, Al- Ansar and Al-Najma, as well as the youth of the coast to some extent.
Third, the tournament revealed great instability in the performance of the teams and the players, as no team had the same level in two consecutive matches, but even the level of the teams differed in one match. Most of the teams seemed to play one way, just like the players, most of them play half a game long before their level drops. Perhaps this is due to the long hiatus and little preparation time, but there is no doubt that this will be present at the start of the league before the player level rises.

Fourth, the tournament revealed that the foreign player, regardless of his level, constitutes a difference in level, after the performance presented by the majority of Lebanese players in the tournament and the candidate will also be present at the tournament.
Fifth, the session showed the possibility of conducting football activity in Lebanon despite the Corona virus crisis, but at the same time revealed violations of adherence to health procedures and the absence of the public, despite efforts of the organizing committee. The violations, if he attended the Lebanese League, could topple him, despite the union’s adherence to his establishment. However, in the event that official authorities find that the spill situation may have repercussions in terms of the spread of Corona, then the Lebanese Federation may be forced to make the bitter decision to stop the league. An order imposes responsibilities on everyone, especially clubs and public ties, by urging them not to go to stadiums and try to enter or infiltrate, but the greatest responsibility falls on the security forces, who must be present to prevent the entry of the public.
