Yesterday, the fifth round of the Irbid Stars League kicked off with a historic victory for Al Duhail over Al Sadd 5-1, while Umm Salal escaped with a difficult victory over Al Shahaniya 4-2, and Al Shamal defeated Al Khor 1/2, raising its score to 7 points. The round concludes today with three matches between Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah, Al Ahli and Al Arabi, and Qatar and Al Gharafa.
A state of great anger and turmoil prevailed among Al-Sadd fans after the heavy loss suffered by the leader yesterday evening against Al-Duhail by five goals to one in the fifth round of the Ooredoo Stars League competitions, and the team’s balance stopped at only 6 points and 3 losses in 5 rounds, to make matters worse for the team in the league standings. Al Sadd fans poured their anger on Spanish coach Felix Sanchez after the lackluster performance, the heavy loss and the disastrous form of the leader on the field despite the names that the team possesses. Rather, the matter would have increased in terms of the result, especially since Al Duhail wasted many clear opportunities and a penalty kick, as the result was subject to increase, in a clear indication that Al Sadd will suffer if things are not corrected in the coming period. Therefore, after the confrontation, Al Sadd fans launched a hashtag on the social media platform “X” “Sacking Sanchez is a demand, O Al Sadd management”, and demanded that the club’s board of directors make a quick decision to dismiss the coach to correct the course in the rest of the league journey, as the fans believe that the performance and results do not live up to the great ambition for the team, especially since Al Sadd is the league and Emir Cup champion last season, and in the current season, it has local challenges in addition to its participation in the Champions League for the elite, so it must be on time to achieve the hopes and aspirations of its fans.
