Athletes and former players considered that the ideal start and good start of the Emirati football top scorer Ali Mabkhout with his new team Al Nasr was due to the absence of pressure on the player, after he showed a distinguished performance in four matches in the ADNOC Professional League and the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup, unlike what he was like last year. They told “Emarat Al Youm” that the player is showing great performance without pressure, and the 33-year-old returned with his new team to his always known level, as he is the top scorer in Emirati football, whether in the league championship or with the national team.
They stressed that Ali Mabkhout plays without pressure, and is more free with Al-Nasr than in previous seasons, as he was not sufficiently brilliant. They pointed out that his presence is important and a great addition to the national team, and they demanded intervention in order to restore things to their proper place.
Ali Mabkhout played with Al Nasr in four matches, where he played two matches in the league championship, during which he scored one goal and made another, in addition to contributing to more than one goal. He also participated in two matches in the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup Championship, and succeeded in scoring a goal against Al-Orobah last Saturday, leading his team to the quarter-finals of the championship.
During his career in Emirati football, Mabkhout played 301 matches, starting from the 2008-2009 season, and scored 219 goals, and is the historical top scorer in the UAE league so far.
Bento and Mabkhout
Former national team supervisor Hassan Suhail confirmed that Ali Mabkhout is a great gain for Al Nasr Club, and his presence in the Al Nasr team is a credit to the club’s technical and administrative staff, and the signing of the UAE’s top scorer Ali Mabkhout is a credit to the coach and the technical staff. Suhail indicated that Ali Mabkhout should be in the national team, and stressed that the personal dispute between the coach and the player must be resolved.
Hassan Suhail said: “The last few years were not very good for Ali Mabkhout, and it seems that the player is not playing comfortably, but the situation has changed now, and we find the player has completely changed, and this reminds me of his beginnings in football, and I expect that he will be a great addition to Al-Nasr in the current season.”
“Ali Mabkhout deserves to be in the national team, and the problem is when the coach turns a crisis with a player into a personal problem. In all the world’s national teams, there are two scorers of Ali Mabkhout’s age, or perhaps older, who still represent the national team. In my personal opinion, if there was an intervention between the coach and the player by the Football Association, it would be in the interest of the national team, and every personal dispute can be resolved. If coach Pinto has a personal dispute with the player, it must be resolved or bypassed in order to represent the country in international forums,” he added.
Suhail stressed that Ali Mabkhout is still able to represent the national team, and we hope to see him in the national team. He deserves that, and he is still the top scorer for the national players and the national team.
Play without pressure
Former UAE national team and Al Nasr club captain Abdulrahman Mohammed confirmed that Ali Mabkhout’s level has changed a lot for the better since the beginning of the current season, and there is a difference in the player’s appearance, his self-confidence, and the level he presents without pressure.
Abdulrahman Mohammed said: “Ali Mabkhout plays without pressure, which is very evident with Al-Nasr during the current season, unlike the player’s recent seasons, when it was clear that there was pressure on Mabkhout with Al-Jazira Club.”
“There is a great harmony between Ali Mabkhout and the players at Al-Nasr, specifically the Moroccan player Adel Taarabt, and this is something that is credited to the board of directors of Al-Nasr Club, which succeeded in creating these things, in the player’s interest and giving him more confidence in himself, and it is credited to the technical and administrative staff for working on the player to reach this form and level that appeared between the player and the team, and his positive presence during the matches.”
He continued: “The player is a great addition to Al-Nasr. The team has been searching for a striker with this style and ambition for some time, and his presence in the national team is natural, given his numbers and the level he is presenting. He is currently the best among the existing strikers, in addition to being the historical top scorer for the national team and the UAE league.”
The atmosphere is positive.
Former Al Nasr team manager Khaled Obaid confirmed that the playing style and positive atmosphere within the Al Nasr team currently helped Ali Mabkhout a lot, and changed the shape of the team, as well as the presence of a positive player in the team, which is something that is credited to the coach and the game plan he plays with.
“Al-Nasr coach, Dutchman Schroeder, relies on team play, as the coach created this style, which is tangible among the players, and the great cooperation between the players and the collective form is apparent, and the presence of a substitutes’ bench provides the same performance, as the coach imposed his style and collective play, which is what Ali Mabkhout has entered into now and plays without any pressure, which is a good thing for Al-Nasr and its fans with the presence of a player of this form, and the collective and results so far are positive, and appear in the league and the cup,” said Khaled Obaid.
The audience loves Ali Mabkhout
The UAE Beach Soccer Team Manager, Bader Hareb, praised Al Nasr’s signing of Ali Mabkhout, noting that the player is a great gain for the club, and that Al Nasr is a great addition to the player and his history, whether with his former club Al Jazira or the UAE national team and Asian football.
Badr Hareb said: “The fans love Ali Mabkhout and have no problem with him playing for any club. The fans sympathise with the player greatly. We saw the joy of all the fans of Emirati football, not just Al Nasr fans, when Ali Mabkhout scored his first goal with Al Nasr. We wish him success. He is a great addition to any place, and his presence makes all the fans happy for what he offers, for not causing any problems, and for his great history with the UAE national team.”
