Al Ain and Al -Wadad .. A farewell match with “two million dollars”

The attention of Arab football fans is heading at 23:00 pm tomorrow, Thursday, Emirates time to the “Audi Field” stadium in America, which will be the scene to face Al Ain with the Moroccan Wydad in the last third round of Group Seven competitions in the FIFA World Cup Football Championship.
While this confrontation is a curtain on an Arab participation that did not rise to the level of aspirations, it acquires a special character in view of its financial value, as the two teams compete for a prize of two million dollars awarded to the winner, while each team receives one million dollars if the match ends in a draw.
The reward is an incentive for the participants, especially after the championship actually left the previous round after their successive losses against Juventus, Italy and Manchester City, which makes the meeting to perform more than it is a spherical summit with clear sporting goals.
The “leader”, led by goalkeeper Khaled Issa, enters the confrontation after a very modest performance that did not reflect in any way his history or ambitions, as he received two heavy losses in the previous two rounds, which started them with a fell in front of Juventus 0-5, and in front of Manchester City 0-6, to bid the championship without succeeding so far in scoring one goal.
Despite the intensive preparations prior to the start of the championship, and the contract with eight new players with the aim of strengthening the ranks, these deals did not fruit in harmony or the desired strength, but rather revealed a state of technical dispersion and the lack of homogeneity within the green rectangle.
This decline coincided with a clear confusion by the Serbian coach, Vladimir Evic, who seemed unable to find the ideal squad or even persistence in a group of players, as he made six full changes between Juventus and Manchester City matches, which increased confusion within the team and reduced the level of confidence among the players themselves.
Al Ain fans are looking to confront tonight as a final opportunity to appear honorable, amid increasing concern about the readiness of the upcoming local season, which may be fraught with challenges if the negative indicators that appeared in this tournament are not remedied.
On the other hand, the Moroccan sports Wydad is playing the meeting from a similar site that does not differ much from the eye, as he also bid farewell to the championship after receiving two losses against the two opponents themselves, he started them with a loss against Manchester City 0-2, then a new loss against Juventus 1-4.
Although he scored a single goal in the championship, the team did not provide the performance that reflects its great history as the Moroccan league champion, but rather appeared in a shaky way in the defensive aspects, and lacking the offensive effectiveness in most of the playing periods.
The participation of Wydad, too, seemed faded and disappointed in terms of tactical and organizational aspects despite the contract with the Syrian star Omar Al -Soma, which opened the door for many questions in the Moroccan circles about the extent of the real readiness of the team for the upcoming local and continental competitions, especially since its nets received six goals, and his attack line did not show the ability to make the difference or threaten the opponents’ defenses in a concrete manner.
