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 press the defensive line effectively. On the other hand, it created a false feeling of safety to Al Ain, leading to some mistakes on the… 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 the 3 points! Al Wasl presented a different team from the last match observed. Not a better team, definitely. However, they presented the normal dynamics,… 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 of taking the 3 points and making another step into that direction and reducing the distance to their direct opponents by only 3 points. And,… 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 storm for the Winter Market to be exactly like it was – uncomfortable and quiet. The question is not if Dorgu, or a left-side wing,… 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 see from the outside, naturally, with 5 goals in total and good talents to observe in 2 teams with different approaches, although they were very… 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 – United FC – has the ability to put together a good number of people in the stands. Maybe due to their privileged location (Sports… 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 goal, 8 great chances to score and that tells it all. However, analyzing the starting XI there were a couple of surprises. To start, we… Read

Developing Scouting Departments has been a crucial tool in the recent decades for major Clubs and, on a different level, Academies. From a more rudimental approach, to a more professionalized approach today, along with the development of different tools and technologies helping Clubs and Scouts to provide better insights and reports, Scouting players as been here for long time. We must realize that. Moreover, it was always a differentiator within Clubs – those that invested more time and effort in… Read
