What are the lessons of Asia Cup?!
Published in Alriyadh on 30 - 01 - 2011

Any participant in any occasion must learn something to develop himself in order to succeed or at least to keep up with the successful. In this Asia Cup situated in Doha which ended yesterday with Japan-Australia final, we returned home with many cons because of our national team failures in all fields not only the nil points or the last rank in the group.
Regarding that, the Saudi Football Union admits its mistakes, at least, through their statements in addition to dismissing the General Chief of Youth Care, the resignation of team administration members and the new Chief promises to correct the situation. Therefore, we must allow Prince Nowaf Bin Faisal Bin Fahed to paraphrase the new stage successfully.
Prince Nowaf had enough experience to support him in development, and the most important thing is transparency of revealing any obstacle in the way of this development and the requests of the concerned bodies, critics and supervisors. I wish that God help him not to seize some positions. We all hope that God reveals what raise our optimism and comfort spirit in the general meeting
The most important thing is not to be distracted by the players' problems, mostly outside the field, when returning to the local competitions and forgot these events which happened during the championship.
Considering that I suggest that Prince Nowaf pays attention to the views of national coaches after their meetings with other official in field work and ex-players who turned to be critics. Also, the new stars in the recent clubs are met privately.
Not forgetting the referees especially Khalil Jalal who represents us in World Cup 2010 and Asia Cup 2011 and the critics who can enrich the media field according to Prince Nowaf statement. The same applies to other sports and academic in "administration".
Everybody must ask himself if he did his best especially the critics and reporters in all TV channels. The media officials who cared for the Saudi sports for hours must think again and evaluate their work and choice of critics and reporters.
By the way I ask my fellow-journalists to follow the Qatari, Emirati and Bahraini newspapers and to notice their concern to all sports not only the football. Despite their regard to Asia Cup, they did not underestimate other sports without neglecting the Asia Cup in all fields. Some newspapers allocated 3 pages for other languages.
I know that this liberal policy deducts from the bigger pyramid of newspapers. Again, I know marketing policy; however, I beg the Saudi newspaper editors to change the situation professionally and effectively for the sake of society and sports in our precious home. I beg any official to move and insist on correcting the accumulated mistakes in all unions especially the rules and systems.
