But pressure is still a concern, whatever its form, and this is the problem that the coaches and administrators tried to take away from their players on the eve of the sixth phase of the league’s life, and this matter got on the line. manifested through the meeting of the president of the Al-Ansar club, Nabil Badr, with his players before the match against Al-Safa (today at 14.15 at the Majma Stadium President Fouad Shehab Al Riyadi in Jounieh), where he praised his performance despite the loss to the youth of the coast, saying that they had given everything they had, but success did not accompany them.
It is true that Badr asked his players to do their best, especially since he had ensured everything necessary to win the title, but the players themselves are already feeling pressure, knowing that not winning the title this time will expose them to great criticism. , so their correction began from the moment the end of the meeting off the coast was announced. Fans gathered at the bridge leading to Jounieh Stadium poured out their anger on their players, accusing them of inaction.
There is no doubt that the move by the Ansar boss was made so that the green team would not fall into the trap of any moral setback. In fact, a private source confirmed to “Al-Akhbar” that Badr paid the salaries before the due date, in an additional step to comfort them and push them to overcome the previous Sahel setback, which negatively affected many players.
But the most important thing was the meeting Badr had before his meeting with the players with Iraqi coach Abdul Wahab Abu Al-Hail, who undoubtedly discovered that the criteria for choosing the squad forced him to sacrifice some well-known names in order to create a stable and orderly game system, specifically in midfield. Loss dominated the situation, at a time when the creative flashes of the players were absent, leaving teammate Hassan Maatouk just trying to find his way to the net.
The league will stop after the conclusion of the sixth phase until the 21st of this month, according to the Al Ittihad program
Parallel to the injury of Abbas Atoui, “Onica”, the new star of the team, Nader Matar, has been called up more than ever to give the best of himself, after the problem of the merger with the team appeared in his first appearance. This is at a time when doubts are being raised around the left-back Hassan Shaito, “Shbriko”, who was also injured, forcing Abu Al Hail to make a tactical change to find balance in his formation in case of that the latter was out of their options.
Al-Ansar’s problems can be very simple compared to Al-Safa’s problem, who was surprised by the resignation of manager Emile Rostom, leaving the team in the hands of manager Ghassan Abu Diab, who may not have a long career in the field either. club, after he personally sought Rustum back to work with the club. And it will take Al-Safa to skip the difficult game against Al-Ansar in the best way possible, to enter the break and seriously discuss the name of the next coach to guide him in the rest of the life of the league.
The pact seeks balance
Speaking of pressures and concerns, it is possible to mention the name of Al-Ahed, the holder of the title, as his recent victory over Al-Shabab Al-Ghaziah did not keep him out of this circle, as the Lebanese champion continues to search for his true and strong image that he was absent this season. An image that is not a secret that left its concerns in the management of the club, which expects a better performance against the youth of Al-Burj (tomorrow at 14.15 in Bhamdoun) despite the expected difficulty in this meeting for two reasons, the first of which is that the yellow team suffered a sudden crash against Tripoli last week, and the second because they cannot Underestimating them because they are at the level of the Covenant in points, and are even ahead of them by goal difference in the general ranking list.
And if you talk about negative pressures regarding Al-Ansar and Al-Ahed, then the pressures derived from the positive result against Al-Ansar are the last thing that young people from the coast want before their meeting with Al-Ghazia Youth (tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. at Al-Ahed Stadium).
And it is precisely this point that prompted blue coach Hajj Mahmoud Hammoud to make a statement that made noise after it appeared he had excluded his team from the title competition. Many interpretations of what Hammoud said filled the public opinion of football throughout the week, but the man was clear in his words and his interpretation of him, as he simply turns himself and his players away from the lights on in occasions, and keeps crawling into forward positions noiselessly, also realizing that the invader will not be an easy opponent, but rather. You will fight for the best possible score.
As for the teams that began to suffer the pressure of successes, they are the leaders Al-Ikha Al-Ahly, who will face Al-Najmah tomorrow (16.05 in Jounieh) in the strongest matches of the stage.
The pressures caused the team to underperform against an injured team like Salam Zgharta in the final stage, and the northern team even deserved to win, according to many observers.
A point that coach Fadi Al-Kakhi highlighted in his speech to the players throughout the current week, asking them not to worry about first place or results, but about their style, which he missed after a regularly in 4 consecutive games, where he clearly indicated that he is interested in applying his ideas on the field and letting them enjoy the game. Before evaluating the result they achieve, they also come into the circle of easing the pressure on the youth group that includes the mountain team.
On Sunday there are also two games for pressure teams, led by the tower, which is invited in Tripoli (14.15 at the Rashid Karami stadium), who seek to overcome their successive crises and start again with coach Fouad Hijazi after the resignation of Muhammad al-Daqqa from his post after the team’s withdrawal to the center. The ninth that does not reflect its true potential.
Those who feel that more concerns remain are Al-Tadamon, the images of the penultimate position and Al-Salam Zgharta, at the end of the arrangement, who face the same time in the Jounieh stadium. Any goal so far in the tournament, which undoubtedly worries his fans, especially with the evolution of Al-Salam’s performance, game after game, after his young players shed their fear of playing in the League of Lights for the first time.
