Squad

A fracture rules Ibrahim Al-Hafith out for 33 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Al-Jeel will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Haythem Ayouni in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al-Jeel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Al-Jeel

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Al-Jeel promote Bandar Al-Qahtani from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bandar Al-Qahtani has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Faisal Al-Sultan steps up from the Al-Jeel academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Faisal Al-Sultan has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Al-Jeel promote Salman Al-Nemer from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Salman Al-Nemer has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Al-Jeel promote Waleed Al-Dosari from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Waleed Al-Dosari has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

No hiding place for Asdrúbal

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Asdrúbal, and the manager let it.

Match

Al-Ta'ee take the points off Al-Jeel

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

In brief

Squad

Haythem Ayouni in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al-Jeel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Hicham Nouali told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Hicham Nouali has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Al-Jeel.

Squad

Asdrúbal has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Al-Jeel know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Still no ink between Al-Jeel and Mohammed Al-Mohanna

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Al-Jeel, another week without a signature from Mohammed Al-Mohanna.

Market

Al-Jeel bring in an old head

Asdrúbal is 35 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Market

Experience through the door at Al-Jeel

Shqipon Bektasi arrives at 36 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
