Al -Rayyan inaugurates his career today in the Gulf Champions League with a meeting that appears easy, as the Yemeni Hadramout team meets in the second group, but caution in such confrontations in front of the teams that seem to be inconsistent, just as the Yemeni football despite the suffering includes many talents, which makes the confrontation in its reality very difficult.
The meeting kicks off at six in the evening at Ahmed bin Ali Al -Mundalia Stadium, and today also meets the Saudi youth and the Omani Renaissance team at the Youth Stadium in Riyadh.
Perhaps the Gulf Champions League is not at the level of Al -Rayyan’s ambition and its fans who wished to participate continental and Asian, but the truth is that the Gulf Champions League has evolved a lot, and all the teams have evolved, and the competition in it is not easy, and you need everyone and Al -Rayyan to appear at the best level, it is in the end an approved championship, and winning it will be a great achievement for Rayan.
The confrontation is a good opportunity for Al -Rayyan if it dealt seriously and strong with the Yemeni competitor, to achieve the first victory in the championship and get the first 3 points, which is necessary before the most difficult confrontations, especially with the Saudi youth.
On the terrible paper, it is the best, especially as it has a strong attack line and a console led by Metrofis, Gidees, Matshado, Ahmed Alaa, and behind them Gabriel Pereira, Tigo and Wasli.
It is expected that Al Rayyan will be more likely in today’s meeting, and it is also expected that the terrible will rush behind the attack from the first minute to the end, although he must be careful of the blocked Yemeni defense, and from the rapid apostate attack that depends on the skill of some of his players so that the terrible is not exposed to embarrassing situations during the confrontation.
