Last Tuesday night was unusual and one I will never forget. It was a true demonstration of “joy” that started from Al Jawara Stadium, and its repercussions spread across Jeddah, land and sea, all over the country, “Our Gulf is One”, the Arab world, and even Asia, where Al Ittihad Club, the head of Saudi Arabia’s clubs and the top of the league, won an overwhelming victory, achieving a historic victory over Qatar’s Al Gharafa with a total of 7 wins.
Seven goals was not just a heavy result, but a heart-touching message. The message that shook the internet and shook the stands lifted the hearts of fans exhausted by the pain and surprised those who thought the scene had been forgotten. She wasn’t exaggerating when she described what happened as an expression of joy. In the square, a loud voice had the right to speak.
The union did not appear out of nowhere and was a fragile edifice. Rather, it established bonds with subordinates and the public who witnessed complex events that placed the organization in an unfamiliar position. Teams that have won two championships in one season find themselves facing mental breakdowns, technical confusion, and the “planned” departure of a prominent star in conditions that are almost artificial, no matter how mysterious some people try to make it seem.
– But in some village time and world, details don’t stay locked inside walls. The world was watching and wondering. How can players control the system? How can they refuse to abide by a valid contract and get another scene where they don’t “indulge” in its rewards?!! The blame here is not personal, but a general image that reflects a greater need for discipline and clarity with maximum “transparency”.
The reaction was strong and influential from the Al Ittihad Seven Pitch Field, “removal” of all the pain of the past stage and throwing it into the basket of history. It wasn’t just the goal, it was the restoration of prestige, the restoration of morale and the declaration of an uprising, personified by ‘Tifo the Monster’, the packed stadium and the public noise that made the difference before the starting whistle.
The turnout was amazing, the skill level was high, and the results were shocking by any standard. The reaction of the domestic and international media confirmed that what happened was not a momentary victory, but rather a scene of voices rising from all sides, shining a new light on the strength and status of the Saudi league, covering up any attempts to insult it.
Congratulations on your return to Saudi Arabia and Asian football, Dean.
