• In the Shadow Football League, after the sixteenth round, things seem mixed and turbulent. Leader Bahrain lost three important points in the last round; It whetted the appetite of his competitors; But on the other hand, Aali, who is closest to competing with him for the first two places, lost four important points in the last two rounds. He did not miss the top spot, and Badie and Al-Malikiyah also fell into the same predicament!
• These turbulent results make the competition in (the palm of the goblin); Whether for those ascending directly (first and second), or seeking the ascendancy box (third and fourth), the technical levels are close; The evidence is the close results in the last rounds, which confirms that predictions are difficult. At least in the crowd for the promotion playoff, Al-Ittihad surprised Bahrain and the agreement trapped two teams from the top in a draw with them.
• By the way, Al-Ittifaq, which has been struggling in the promotion playoff for three seasons, is in a relatively late position (currently seventh); His results vary with his technical performance, as he wastes chances that cost him important points, and these could cost him a lot, even though those who watched him in the past two rounds admire his unfortunate moment of wasting real chances, especially from his top scorer, Ali Moftah, famous for Tubli!
• I praise here the role of the national coach, Sayed Hassan Issa (Hamamah), who, amidst difficult circumstances, created a cohesive and harmonious team. The good thing is that he is not satisfied with the role of (coach) but also (administrative); This reminds us of our national coaches (in the old days), where they played such a role to overcome difficulties, and spent their own money to make their mission successful, without diminishing the role of management and administrators.
• Of course, the Shadow League is still winning over Al-Malikiyah fans, who march behind their team in all circumstances. They are of different ages and fill the seats in the stands designated for them and their competitors. I hope that their team will return the favor by continuing to compete to return to the Highlights League.
In addition, this league has gained Aali Club fans this season, which constitutes a good presence in the matches, which raises the enthusiasm of the players.
