Al-Wahda’s Syrian striker Omar Khribin (30 years old) has had a poor start in terms of scoring since the start of the current 2024-2025 season, whether in official or friendly matches, as he failed to score during five matches with his team, including two matches in the league, and three in friendly matches.
Although the Syrian striker succeeded in snatching the title of top scorer in the league last season, from the jaws of the trio, Laba Kodjo, Ali Mabkhout, and Igor Jesus, with 18 goals, he began this season unable to continue his hobby of scoring goals.
Al Wahda played two friendly matches before the start of the season against Al Jazira and Gulf FC, during which the team scored seven goals, with Omar Khribin not scoring any of them.
Al Wahda also played a friendly match last week against Gulf United, winning 3-0, with the Syrian striker not scoring any goals.
In the league competition, Al Wahda played two matches against Ajman and Khorfakkan, and achieved a 1-0 victory in both matches, without Omar Khribin scoring any goals, and he did not even succeed in creating a single dangerous opportunity during the 157 minutes he played against Ajman and Khorfakkan, noting that Al Ain striker Laba Kodjo is leading the overall scorers list of the competition so far, with four goals.
The Syrian striker only touched the ball 44 times, of which only 20 were accurate passes, at a rate of less than 50%. These are numbers that will undoubtedly put the player under pressure in the coming period.
Khribin has been under huge pressure from fans for quite some time now, and it has increased dramatically with the player’s absence from the external camp in Serbia due to personal family circumstances, amid demands from the club’s fans for him to leave the Al-Annabi fortress and sign a high-level striker, according to the fans’ point of view, who can fulfil their ambitions.
Omar Khribin’s relationship with Al Wahda fans has changed since his return from his loan period with Shabab Al Ahli in the 2021-2022 season, and the pressure on him has increased, which made him explode in the face of the fans who attended Al Wahda’s match against Emirates in the Professional League Cup last season, after scoring his team’s third goal.
Omar Khribin’s celebration in the “be quiet” manner caused tension in the relationship between the player and the fans, as it was noticeable through the television footage that his teammates prevented him from completing his celebration, so that things would not get worse.
