Market

Not going: Ayman Al-Sahli stays at Al-Faisaly

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Al-Batin had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Abdullah Al-Mogren asks to leave Al-Faisaly

“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

Eyes on Abdullah Al-Mogren again

The phone has started ringing about Abdullah Al-Mogren again, and this time the name on the line is Al-Riyadh. Al-Faisaly are listening politely and promising nothing.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Anas Alaoui

Al-Faisaly asked and Lecco said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Words exchanged at Al-Faisaly

Ayman Fallatah and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Majid Beiranvand is in the works

Al-Faisaly have made the call to Rah Ahan. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Fernando Pacheco gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Fernando Pacheco is on it.

The dugout

Abdullah Al-Mogren 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.

The dugout

The manager makes Jean Charles Ahoua a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Al-Faisaly. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad

Fernando Pacheco wins the shoot-out

2 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Match

Al-Faisaly through in the cup

A 2‑2 win over Al-Wehda, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

A hiding for Al-Faisaly

Beaten 0‑3 by Al-Ittihad, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Player ratings

A brace, and Abdullah Al-Mogren takes the afternoon — 9.02

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Abdullah Al-Mogren provided it, and the 9.02 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

A falling-out at Al-Faisaly

Theo Bongonda and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Late, late show earns Al-Faisaly a point

Minute 122, against Al-Wehda, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jean Charles Ahoua

“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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Al-Faisaly dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Player ratings

From twelve yards, and Ayman Fallatah misses

A penalty is the one moment in football with nowhere to hide, and he did not score it. The walk back was long and the week will be longer.
