“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

Expectations were high on the preparations for this match, surely. United FC doesn’t hide their objectives – they want to be the first Private Club in the UAE to reach the Pro League. And, from their recent performances, I couldn’t say they are so far from that goal! They faced this Game with the hopes Read

Disappointed, at a minimum. Yes, it was written in between the lines. People getting fired at the Club, standards are low, results are poor, performances go up and down as the wind… And the Business side of the Club, that is historically one of the highest performers, is surprisingly low! This mix created the perfect Read

It’s been usual, in the recent weeks, to see Al Ain teams coming to Dubai to get a win. However, the Al Nasr U18’s didn’t gave them an easy task. Specially on the 1st half – the score at half-time was 1-0 to the home team, Al Nasr! This match was a great entertainment to Read

Another Game observed, now at UAE Division 1 (2nd tier in UAE) and another showcase of the Football in the Country. Before delving into the match, some aspects outside the Game influence the on-field action and I must reference them here. The Organization at the League is (always) very good, and this team in particular Read

Great win yesterday!The first minutes of the first half were harder.The team struggle to get the right space available, as the opponents were really working hard to cover all spaces, but United kept the calm and took the 3 points in a comfortable way. United finished the Game with 69% Ball possession, 21 shots on Read
