A cliché. Everyone is aware of this. But understanding is something different. Shall we start by assuming that Football is a business, and like any business, relationships drive opportunities? Seems fair to assume that. Therefore, it’s also possible to assume that you can have all the Tactical Knowledge in the World, the best Scouting Reports, Read

9 points (potentially, 12 points with the leader Al Dhafra still having a match to play) separate United FC from the 2nd position (currently Fujairah, with the same 36 points as Al Dhafra but with the same number of matches played) and, after this win, Hatta is 8 points away from them. Naturally, with 13 Read

Best performance so far (offensively)… until Dorgu got sent-off! Mobility. Multiple breaking-lines passes (those that connect directly from the defender to the striker and virtually delete the opposing team’s pressing with offensive and midfielders). Bruno flying, Zirkzee finding the right space, Garnacho and Dorgu connected on the left (I think Garnacho respected Dorgu’s overlaps for Read

This Match was another representation of the growth and development of the Game not only in UAE but in the Region. It was a great and competitive Match in Dubai, with different strategies from both teams, even if when observing the Formation it was somehow similar with both teams opting for a line of 4 Read

Disclaimer: I’m biased. No doubts. For me, Ruben is one of the best Coaches and certainly the right Coach for a Club with the dimension of Manchester United. Not (only) because he’s Portuguese, but because I’ve studied him intensively for the past years, seen his growth, strategies and errors. He can change, definitely, just like Read

For those that are not familiar with the roots of Football, Scouting and Recruitment are the lifeblood of any successful Football Club or Academy.They ensure a steady flow of talent by identifying, assessing, and nurturing players with the potential to excel. It happened before and continues to be the same, even if in a different Read

“Manchester United lost again.” It’s recurrent this message. And, for some, may be harder with the weeks passing by, to believe this is the way ahead. With this Style of Play. With this Coach. Definitely, with these players. I would agree, until some extent – which is the players. Definitely, not with these players. Some, Read

I was looking for this match with particular interest. I have been watching these teams for the last months and I expect to see developments, progress, players developing, teams being more consistent, etc. Naturally, each team’s starting point was different. Al Wasl, is currently at 6th in the table whereas Al Nasr has been navigating Read

Tough match for the local team, Al Wasl, that started the Game with a goal conceded at the minute 3! This false start created some insecurity on the local team, that needed some minutes to calm down their Game and start to perform in accordance to the needs, adjusting their defensive positioning and starting to Read

It was a surprise, taking in consideration that there were 10 points separating these teams before the Game started, but not so much if you’re there watching it. Not that Dibba was tremendously superior to Al Wasl, but the contrary was not the case as well. Therefore, as always, the one that scores eventually got Read
