Al-Nasr Suffers Shock Exit from UAE President's Cup

The football club "Nasr" continues to struggle with serious problems, which resulted in an unsatisfactory performance in the new season. The more striking example was the "Samara" elimination match of the Kubk President of the country, where the team lost 0:2 on their own field to the opponent from Ban Ya. This failure raised a general concern about the club's future form: the collective did not show any decent performance, not to mention that this was reflected in the last place in the OAE championship and was lost in the last matches.

Analyzing the current situation, experts and club officials are forced to change the original plans. By the words of the "Nasr" trainer Khalid Abidi, the command needs to be in the current perspective so that in the future to attack and the attacking midfielders, but require silent central midfielders and efficient", — Abidi said.

The technical director of the club pointed out the fragility in the game system: "We pushed 45 goals through the season — this is critically for an ambitious collective. Need a clear leader in the defense, and a tackling, regular regulatory to be in the last matches", he said. This was also noticed by the problem of the psychological condition of the command: the nickname Slavisa Jokanovic revealed the uneasiness before the emotional command: "I don't see any reason to worry. I don't know, what will happen".

In the historical aspect, the performance in Ban Yas "Nasra" previous season did not show any "Nasra" trainer, when he was chosen from the Kubk on this stage 16 finals. This series does not show a tendency for the resolution of the dynamics and decisiveness. "We apply full responsibility. We will analyze, to point to the core problems and correct them", — Jokanovic said.

The key issue of the club's problem is the instability of the club's control to start the starting composition and to create a balanced command, which can meet high standards of football in the Emirate league.
