What an accomplishment this is

SME-Written by: Ali Al-Basha
I do not know what achievement Dragan or anyone else is talking about, after the goalless draw with the Yemeni team and qualifying for the Asian Nations Finals (2027) and the third round of the World Cup qualifiers (2026); This cannot be called an achievement except in terms of material value, which I do not think anyone deserves after we suffered a defeat in front of the Yemenis, who played with enthusiasm, supported by (their community) who encouraged them warmly!
• I don’t know if (Dragan) knows that we qualified twice for the global playoff, and the blame is not on him as much as it is on those close to him who did not know him in our football history in the new millennium, unless it represents his own history, but for us it is normal; But the calamity is that we will not qualify for the World Cup (2026). Because the required number is large this time, and we are supposed to be among the original qualifiers and not through an appendix!
• In fact, I do not bear the negative result or the loss we suffer from (Dragan) as much as our players bear it. Logic says that they are more experienced than the Yemenis who live in a difficult situation, and it is assumed that they are all professionals. They receive large rewards (salaries), but surprisingly, they were below the level that would allow them to score the Yemeni goal, which is something that the coach cannot bear as much as they themselves bear!
• Our acquisition advantage is (negative); We put ourselves in the neck of the bottle, but God was kind enough to be able to save the penalty kick and at least two real chances. Captain Dragan may be responsible. However, the question is: how do the players have all this experience when they do not know how to decipher the hieroglyphs of the Yemeni defense, and they have not proven to us that they play for major clubs? They chose her based on their preference.
• In any case, I do not think that they are under that intense pressure and the need for a point to qualify, but rather their need for mental and artistic storming in order to feel the ideal (that if it were closer to others, it would not have reached them); Especially since they have reached the age that requires them to be at the physical and technical level that helps keep them in the device’s memory
Technical for the decisive qualifiers; In light of the youth boom waiting for opportunity.
