Squad

The manager makes an example of Flávio

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Al-Taawoun and Al-Wehda take a point apiece

It finished 1-1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Bassam Al-Hurayji asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Match

Al-Taawoun cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Al-Taawoun lose Flávio

29 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

Al-Taawoun see off Al-Ra'ed

Three points for Al-Taawoun, 1-0 the final word against Al-Ra'ed in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Mohammed Al-Dossary gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Loan watch

Bassem Al-Arini has seen enough of Al-Ta'ee

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Al-Taawoun, and 2 appearances in 6 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Mohammed Al-Qahtani finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Al-Taawoun have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 30 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Market

Ibrahim Al-Shuail asks to leave Al-Taawoun

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Al-Nahda come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al-Taawoun did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Al-Taawoun lose Flávio

61 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Andrei Girotto

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

A bad afternoon for Al-Taawoun against Al-Ahli

0-1 to Al-Ahli, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
