Al-Ahed × Al-Ansar

The 43rd meeting between Al-Ansar and Al-Ahed will be more than important, as it reaches the start of the Lebanese League career, where the goals of the two teams currently differ.

The main importance for the supporters lies in a clear and explicit question, which is to maintain the leadership in the general arrangement, and rather to move away from the pact, since 5 points separate them today. But another importance also lies in the search for the victory of the ansarianos, which is to impose a fait accompli on the promises that are used to being at the top, which means that the “green” sees in his victory a great moral gain that will elevate the spirituality of your players and put tremendous pressure on your opponent, who will have to make an effort. More than ever to keep hopes of defending his title.

So Al-Ansar’s victory means a huge advantage over a direct competitor, even if the road is still long until the end of the day. A victory that will leave a clear message to the competitors that the “leader” will regain his leadership, and will also leave an answer to the skeptics for the failure of the strategy to collect all these stars on the green jersey.
As for the opposite side, the word leadership also appears when talking about the importance of the meeting in relation to the time, since the dominance of the “yellows” over the title season after season and their access to the seventh coronation in the penultimate season, they made some call him “new age fans” in soccer. Lebanese. It is a worthy designation, of course, for the heroic team that has taken Lebanon to an unprecedented level in Asian competitions. However, with the change in the local equation due to the changing reality of the country, and consequently the popular game that advances according to new systems, the era has also changed.
A change in shape without foreigners, and a change in the level of the head of the training apparatus, which did not rule out the idea that the time for the vast majority of fans is the team with the best chance of winning the title. This talk comes regardless of the team’s first results this season, as those who highlighted the preference of the time give many examples of the initial failure of this team, and then its rise from its stumbles to march towards the podium in previous seasons.
In fact, it is logical to present this theory, since the Pact is armed with a group of the best local elements, which is the same that applies to the Ansar, and here is the point. The “multitude of stars” in the two teams leaves the conviction that a great match awaits the Lebanese football fans, but many accounts are also put on the books of the two coaches, who know very well that the accounts of the summit differ from the accounts of any other game they have played or will play in the league this season.

Al-Ansar hides his letters
The Iraqi leader’s coach, Abdul-Wahab Abu Al-Hail, is still in the personal testing stage of the method he will adopt towards the Pact. He is used to adopting the 3-4-3 strategy, which has demonstrated defensive rigidity (the team’s goal did not receive a goal in 3 games) and offensive effectiveness (he scored 6 goals). He even concluded that defenders were integrated into offensive roles, thus unleashing the talent of a player like Nassar. Nassar is also a passer and critical scorer.
But Abu Al-Hail, who is not unlikely to resort to the 3-5-2 strategy in Sunday’s game, will not reveal even to his players what he has in mind until the end of the week. Logic says that you can resort to adopting the aforementioned strategy so as not to drop the caution factor in the face of a team that has dangerous players, meaning that you will be satisfied with a forward supported by the league’s top scorer Hassan Maatouk. , as this plan will free the latter and give him the ability to increase his scoring account against the team that launched him. In the spotlight in Lebanon.
The biggest question remains about Abu Al-Hail’s options on the defense line, as he worked to involve all of his defenders in the first three games, and even gave Yusef Anbar a role at the heart of the defense. , and it is not unlikely that he will play a role in the middle against Al-Ahed out of admiration. The coach with his activities and skills, having missed the basic accounts of his predecessors in the past.

An anticipated tactical shift in Al-Ansar and an urgent account of its position in the era

If Nader Matar’s involvement is fundamentally highly unlikely due to his inability to reach the peak of preparation that entitles him to play such a match, then the focus is on Ahed Ahmed Zureik’s star involvement after joining. to team training after recovering from their Corona virus infection. The presence of the decisive winger is very important to the reign for more than one reason, as recently the team needed a player of his type who could change the equation in difficult moments. Likewise, Zureik’s departure left only the other star, Mohamed Haidar, in the task of seeking to lead the team to victory, a question that the talented midfielder will be able to ask for the doubts surrounding his participation, which will be decided in the last moments, for the injury he suffered. She during the match against Al-Tadamun Pictures last week.

The change in the era is coming
Regarding the dependence on Al-Ahed coach, Reda Antar, from the start of the season on the 4-2-3-1 strategy, it could change moving Haidar away from the starting lineup, since the approach will be practically different, especially in the absence of a creative player who can easily fill his position, at a time when midfielders distinguish themselves. Those who occupy the focal point (such as Walid Shor, Hassan Sorour and Haitham Faour) or any element present between the midfield and the offense (similar to the Mahdi Fahs in the last game), with more defensive effort than offensive, which reduced productivity offense of the yellow team, which could They were changed by the change of some names and the conciliatory factor stopped by the pact.
Will Al-Ansar achieve the 20th victory over Al-Ahed in the history of their league matches and set their path to the fourteenth title, or will Al-Ahd achieve the thirteenth victory and remain in a strong position to march towards the eighth Title?
The 90 minutes will be known by the Fouad Chehab Sports Complex Stadium, where the response will be waiting for the expected army that has been talking about this confrontation since the first day of the start of the league championship.
