Match

Chastening afternoon for Al Nasr

A 1‑4 beating by Sharjah was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Kevin Agudelo asks to leave Al Nasr

“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.

Match

The season ends: position 8 for Al Nasr

The last league game has been played and the table has stopped moving: 37 points. The summer begins on Monday, and so does the argument about what it all meant.

The dugout

Nassim Chadli 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.

Squad

Al Nasr count the cost of losing Elly Owande

16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Al Nasr 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Al Nasr

Gustavo Mueller 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.

Squad

Marius Høibråten falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Ibrahim Al Bloushi answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑4, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

In brief
