Football is such an emotional display, at times. How things move from one side to the other with such ease is amazing, and that’s the element that turns Football into the world’s biggest Sport! By nature, the score is not the largest.The truth is that there’s not a lot of goals.Unlike Basketball, where the scores Read

In the Football world, much like in any business, a clear and structured plan is fundamental for long-term success. Yet, it is rare. Not one, but many Clubs and Academies operate without one, relying solely on short-term decisions or gut feelings. Recently, as Seasons are ending in Europe, I was analyzing the number of Coaches Read

Another loss. Another disappointment. Another weak performance. There are elements that seem kind of cross-cut in the entire Season, as one should expect, probably. But, the inconstancy the team is showing is the only consistent thing this Season. Understanding the context, we clearly know that everyone’s mind is on the Europa League Final, and that Read

One of the most important aspects in the Game, for me. Simply as that. However, this concept has been generalized to other parts of the field, or even grew from those roles. And rightly so. Because, if we think about some roles in the field, mainly the Holding Midfielders, they’re role responsibilities involves a significant Read

First of all, my apologies. For some reason I’m still yet to discover, I thought the first Game would be in Manchester, and the 2nd Leg of this Semi-finals would be played in Bilbao, Spain. Therefore, when 2 days ago, I saw the post of Manchester United’s Instagram Account saying “Next Stop – Spain” I Read

One way match! It’s fair to say this. Without a brilliant performance from Al Jazira, but with the right mentality to take the points from this match. This was a fun match to see some upcoming talents, as both teams displayed a few younger players, at key positions! For example, both Al Wasl Centre-Backs were Read

A few things to be clearer and before delving into this Match Analysis:Firstly, everyone’s goal is Europa League. From the Staff, Board to the players and fans, there are no doubts, Europa League is the driver now. Therefore, all the strategies, line-up, substitutions, etc, everything is considering the match on Thursday against Athletic Bilbao. Secondly, Read

Another Game full of buzz around it, once 1st and 2nd positions at the U18’s table were facing each other! There’s expectation, there’s a good environment on the stand and all ready for action. For me, it’s not the first time watching these teams, but instead of thinking that I know what will happen, I Read

Separated by over 100km, but belonging to the same Emirate, Al Wahda and Al Ain played another derby! Here again, the expectation is high. Firstly, because was my first time observing Al Wahda U18’s Team. Secondly, a derby is always a derby, regardless of the age group or country. Everyone wants to win. Specially when Read

At times, it seemed a Friendly Match. A Game with a pre-defined Non-agression pact. The first shot to the goal was made after minute 30 and the teams seemed very comfortable with that outcome. United presented a team full of new-players, with Fredricson, Amass, Mainoo at the starting XI. Very good surprises, specially Fredricson! His Read
