Caution and tension “encapsulate” the return of the league

Between exercises behind closed doors and out of sight, and between different friendly matches, the Lebanese League teams experienced a hiatus, before raising their level of preparation throughout the past week to mark the resumption of the championship. In recent days, most teams have stopped giving their players vacation days, so the intensification of exercises attached to some preparatory matches has been fundamental in the work of the coaches. They had time to study the defects of their teams and work to correct them, at a time when infected players or those suffering from the Corona virus were benefiting from the hiatus to get rid of their problems and return to the stadium on time.

However, before the start of the seventh stage, a big question arises about the technical level that the matches will produce, especially since the departure of the players from the competition environment will have a negative impact on their performance, which requires mental preparation on the part of the coaches themselves to return their elements to the serious side as much as possible.

Compact matches
Most matches already involve pressure from both sides, both technically and physically, especially since this week will see two phases, unlike usual, which also forces coaches to know the distribution of their players’ effort to get the best out of them and get the best result. If we take the match Al-Shabab and Al-Safa (today at 2:15 p.m. at the Al-Ahd Stadium), we can speak of pressure, since the two aforementioned teams experienced difficult moments this season, so the team del sur fell to the penultimate position with only three points after suffering five defeats in 6 games. Al-Safa has suffered 3 defeats in their matches so far.
Knowing what al-Ghaziyeh has to offer, all eyes will turn to al-Safa to see what he will present after the return of coach Muhammad al-Daqqa, who is one of the coaches who took advantage of the break to present his ideas to the elements. of their formation that seemed to be fragmented into various stations.
Another team that benefited from the suspension period but is under unprecedented pressure is Salam Zgharta, who host Al-Ansar at the same time in Mardashia.
A game more difficult than ever for Zghartaoui, who has prepared for him with a good number of friendly matches that coach Ghassan Khawaja wanted to raise the level of experience lost among his young members. However, the last classified knows well that he will face a terrifying offensive arsenal, as data indicates that Iraqi coach Abdul-Wahab Abu Al-Hail will play with as many of his creative scorers and players as possible, hoping to score a great Outcome. Therefore, it is not ruled out that Abbas Atwi “Onika” was present with Nader Matar, Hassan Maatouk and even Hassan Shaito “Moni”, who could take the place of the other Shaito, that is, “Shbrico” (recently returned from an injury ) on the left back to supply balls to sole striker Karim Darwish.
Al-Ansar is not supposed to face defensive problems in this match, regardless of which trio Abu Al-Hail chooses after adopting the rotation principle, who will be absent this time by the injured Hussein Al-Dur, paralleling the return of almost everyone. players who caught the Corona virus after its recent outbreak on the team.

A big question is raised about the technical level that the matches will produce after a long hiatus.

Chasing leadership
And if there are pressures in the environment of the second half of the qualifying teams, such as Tripoli, which meets the Al-Ahly brotherhood (today 14.15 – Rashid Karami Stadium), then pursue the leadership that the mountain team is seeking again it should produce pressure as well. This problem comes in terms of coach Fadi Al-Kakhi’s team suffering from injury problems in the last period, which made them turn to alternative accounts. However, after evaluating the performance of the two teams in the first six stages, preference should be given to the brotherhood even though the northern team seems capable of achieving a positive result with the presence of its young players and by virtue of their participation in meeting on his ground and on a grass floor, he used to train on it, unlike Aley’s children who do their exercises on artificial grass. .
To this end, they traveled a long way at the end of the week to hold a special training session on a grass field in the city of Kamid al-Lawz in western Bekaa.
Likewise, the pressure to pursue the lead on the side of Al-Nijmeh, who heads to Tire to face Al-Tadamon (14.15 as well), who is in fourth place, 3 points behind leader Al-Ansar before this stage and before facing him in the eighth round matches next Sunday afternoon. In Tire, Nejmeh often struggled (he won 1-0 on his last visit there), and against Al-Tadamun things got tricky at times (he won 2-1 in his last matches at Sports City Stadium during the canceled season ). Difficulties that cannot be ruled out this time either, given the search by the “ambassador of the south” for a positive result to escape from the backward positions.

Stuttering and mistakes are prohibited
There is no doubt that the meeting between Al-Ahed and the Youth of the Coast at the President Fouad Chehab venue in Jounieh (16.05) will be the highlight of the opening day of the seventh phase.
Here, tension will be present on both sides, as the youth of the coast will not be content to stay away from the Ansar, who overtake them a point after the two Sahelis equaled the brotherhood after a series of positive results, the most Outstanding of which was the victory over the leader.
A no-secret result that gave more confidence to Mahmoud Hammoud’s men, who see themselves in a strong position to beat any major team, that could be available if last season’s champion fell into the trap of trouble. that made him lose twice and fall in a draw twice. This season. Therefore, it can be said that a mistake is forbidden for Al-Ahed if he wants to stay within the competition circle, especially since he is 7 points from first place, which he used not to abandon during previous seasons. A mistake is also forbidden for Al-Burj, who plays “Derby” with his neighbor, Shabab Al-Burj, on Wednesday afternoon (16.05 in Jounieh) at the end of the stage. As for the reason, it is not only the sensitivity of the game in the region that “boils” before each confrontation between them, but because the yellow team entered the season amid high hopes of placing among the elders and competing for the title, but the reality was different with the Burjeans occupying ninth place with six points, in exchange for the position of their new neighbor. In first class in fifth place with 8 points.
The worst thing for the 1993 Lebanon Cup champion is that all the praise went to Al-Borg Al-Shabab after presenting a distinguished level in most of his matches, led by coach Youssef El-Gohary, giving him gets more nervous to regain his reputation and confirm that he is the strongest in Burj Al-Barajneh. This issue will be entrusted to the son of the club, Fouad Hegazy, who received the ball of fire with precision, seeking to cool the hearts of the multiple criticisms that had been directed at the team in the last period.
