The former captain of our national team, Raafat Ali, presented his technical vision, due to his experience as a player within the ranks of the national teams and units, for the expected match of our team, the day after tomorrow, Saturday, against his Egyptian brother in the quarter-finals of the Arab Cup held in Doha.

In a post on his Facebook account, Captain Raafat Ali believes that “tactical chaos” is a weapon that can be used in front of the Egyptian team, which can “shock the opponent and mess up his cards.”

Ali points out that the Jordanian player can appear in difficult and unexpected times in important matches, based on the “Fazaa” system, which saves the team some time, but not all the time.

He also stresses that “the “fazaa” system has no place in the world of professionalism, and does not serve the interests of teams and clubs, but in the case and circumstances of our team, based on what we saw in the group stage, we hope that the fear will be present in front of the Egyptians, until the course is corrected in the coming days.”

The following is the post of Captain Raafat Ali:

The “chaos” tactic is our weapon against Egypt

It is natural for the local sports street to live in fear and anxiety about the national football team meeting with its Egyptian counterpart, next Saturday, in the Arab Cup quarter-final match.

The concern that the sports street is experiencing about Saturday’s match is logical, because the Al-Nashma team did not present a convincing performance in the group stage, and the technical differences are clear between the teams of West, Asia and North Africa, which gives the Egyptian team an advantage in achieving victory.

By virtue of my experience as a player in the national teams and units, and by virtue of the many participations on the external level, Al-Nashmi is able to appear in difficult and unexpected times, based on the “Fazaa” system, which saves the team some time, but not all the time, which leads us to pray to God Almighty to be The team panicked in front of its Egyptian counterpart.

The “Fazaa” system has no place in the world of professionalism, and does not serve the interests of teams and clubs, but in the case and circumstances of our team, based on what we saw in the group stage, we hope that the fear will be present in front of the Egyptians, until the course is re-corrected in the coming days.

Our match against Egypt is difficult, but not impossible, if Al-Nashmi is on time. Such confrontations basically need physical readiness, and young players, to match the speed and strength of the young Egyptian player who is full of vitality and activity, and also requires tactical chaos that shocks the opponent and messes up his cards.

It is not difficult to win against the Egyptian team, if this match is dealt with a thoughtful technical tactic commensurate with the opponent’s capabilities, and aims in the first degree to prevent a goal being scored against Yazid Abu Laila, and then search for a rebounding goal, or wait until reaching the goal. Penalty kicks (lucky kicks), then the national team will have equal chances with its Egyptian counterpart.

The Al-Nashami match against the Pharaohs does not need to open the game, because the brothers are superior to us technically, skillfully and physically, and therefore the solution lies in narrowing the spaces in our stadium, and trying to put pressure on the Egyptian player before receiving the ball, to prevent building attacks that may confuse the team’s defenses, which were confirmed to be the death of a team Nematodes and its weak point.

What is required is to force the Egyptian team into a tactical chaos, and work to kill the match technically. It is not in our interest for the match to appear beautifully. Scattering papers and creating tactical chaos during the ninety minutes is our goal if we want to search for qualification.

On the offensive side, the individual solution has become present within the team, represented by the player Mohamed Abu Zureik “Sharara”, who is the most prominent star in the team, and is able to bring about individual solutions, along with Yassin Al-Bakhit, which may force the middle of the Egyptian team to retreat to stop Sharara and Al-Bakhit, Which contributes to resting our defenses.

We stand with the young people and support them, and we support them, and we pray to God that the local sports street live next Saturday, the joy of qualifying for the semi-finals, for the impossible is not in the dictionary of football and the evidence is many.
