The Al Wasl Courier

7 Apr 2031
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom7 Apr 2031

Interim Coach has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Al Wasl can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Market7 Apr 2031

Bandar Rashid hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Al Wasl can pretend not to have heard.

Market7 Apr 2031

Majed Al Shamsi is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Al Wasl is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad7 Apr 2031

Mehdi Taremi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mehdi Taremi and Al Wasl agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad7 Apr 2031

Tempers go at Al Wasl

Pedro Malheiro was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad7 Apr 2031

Renato Tapia 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.

Boardroom7 Apr 2031

The numbers do not look good at Al Wasl

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

The dugout7 Apr 2031

Dramane Koumaré is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout7 Apr 2031

When it matters, Renato Júnior plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief

Back issues

The Al Ahli Post

22 Jul 2030
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad22 Jul 2030

The knee: Mahmoud Nader out for 114 days

114 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Al Ahli lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market22 Jul 2030

Mohamed Al Hashmi asks to leave Al Ahli

“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.

Market22 Jul 2030

Mohamed Al Hashmi is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Al Ahli is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market22 Jul 2030

Al Ahli turn down Al Shaab for Khalid Al Naqbi

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets22 Jul 2030

Esteghlal Khuzestan tell Al Ahli: Roham Mohammad Taghizadeh is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad22 Jul 2030

A falling-out at Al Ahli

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

Squad22 Jul 2030

Mahmoud Nader stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mahmoud Nader and Al Ahli agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout22 Jul 2030

The manager makes an example of Sultan Obaid

“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.

Squad22 Jul 2030

Words at Al Ahli training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Suhail Mohammad is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
