Increasing the number of professionals to 10 players raising the ceiling of competition
Fire season expectations that break traditional domination and ignite competition
Distributing the balance of power between clubs, opened the door to major surprises
From the first round only, we realized that our league this year will not be like any other, and it seems that the decision of the Football Association to increase the number of professionals to 10 players in the list of each team, which ignited the competition and opened the door to a fierce struggle that has no place except for the strongest, as this was not a decision merely an amendment to regulations, but rather a clear message that our league will enter a new more powerful stage. This step alone is enough to redistribute the balance of power between clubs, and open the door to major surprises, a decision that was considered a big step towards raising the level of competition and enriching the technical side of the league.
In the midst of these changes, the results of the first round came to confirm that the new season will not be like its predecessors, as Qatar Club surprised everyone by achieving a valuable victory over the dam at its home and in front of its fans, the result that shocked the followers, in a match that showed the extent of the readiness of “King Qatrawi” to be a difficult number this season. It was not just three points, but rather an early announcement that the “King” was determined to change the competition map, and return to the adults crowding over the throne.
Al -Shahaniya also kidnapped a precious point by drawing with Al -Duhail, in a result that many considered a “strong warning” and “alarm bell” for the big clubs that surprises will be present strongly this season, and there is no place for excessive confidence, and every match may carry a coup in the results. And that the small difference, as some people like to call it or the least nomination, are able to turn the scales.
Umm Salal almost did the same and win over Al -Gharafa, “The third league during the last season.” Umm Salal managed to advance with two goals, but the changes of coach Carteron turned the scales in the interest of Al -Gharafa, who returned in the result and scored a quad to seize a valuable victory.
Followers expect a strong and exciting season, with the possibility of a new hero that breaks the dominance of adults, especially in light of the huge contracts and balance made by the decision to increase professionals.
Among the aspirations of the big clubs to regain control, and the desire of other teams to kidnap the limelight, it seems that the Doha Bank Stars League will be an exceptional version full of excitement, and may carry a surprise with the crowning of an unexpected hero.
The current scene predicts a fiery season, and it may be the most exciting in the history of the league, with serious expectations of the emergence of a new hero that breaks traditional hegemony. The masses will not be satisfied this year by watching shiny names, but will follow a real battle between ambition and history, between clubs looking for a new glory and others trying to defend their throne.
