Al-Nasr coach, Dutch Schroeder, sparked controversy with statements that frustrated the “Dean’s” resolve after losing to its host Al-Jazira 1-3, in the fourth round of the ADNOC Professional League, which is the team’s second in a row after it lost to its traditional rival Al-Wasl with the same result.
Schroeder had considered what happened to the team a normal matter, and that (the brigadier general) did not deserve to be among the leading teams, which worried Al-Nasr fans, and gave them an indication that the coach wanted to leave the team and had raised the white flag in front of the competitors.
The coach said in the press conference after the Al-Jazira match that he felt frustrated because of the way the team appeared, for the second time in a row, which made the matter clear to him, and according to his experience, Al-Nasr is not one of the leading teams, because the leading teams do not lose twice with this method and many mistakes, As he put it.
He added that he told the players that perhaps it was not a coincidence when he found the team ranked between eight and 12 in the league when he signed him last season, which is the normal situation for a team that plays in this style.
He explained, “Al-Nasr is suffering from major defensive problems that appeared during the past two rounds. We have difficult problems that we will try to deal with.”
The coach’s statements carried more than one direction, as a number of Al-Nasr fans expected through the social networking site “X” that the coach wanted to leave the club, and that he had received a new offer from the Qatari League, while others went to the logic of the coach’s talk, who is only searching for the truth, and sees the team on the ground. reality.
For his part, technical analyst and former Al-Nasr team manager, Khaled Obaid, told Emirates Al-Youm: “I expected this scenario from last season, as Al-Nasr’s problem with continuity and the beginning of the season is always the team’s biggest challenge.”
He explained: “This means that he knows that his players are unable to compete for the league title.”
He added: “It is difficult for a coach of this size to talk about a large team in this way, as he is challenging the club, the players and the public. Losing in two matches is possible, and the season is still at the beginning, and this crisis was supposed to be contained.”
He continued: “These statements put the administration in a dilemma, and put the players in a difficult position with the coach. The administration must deal with this crisis wisely, as there is still a long way to go, and the team will compete in an external tournament soon. All of this must be taken into consideration.”
