Sport Scooply .. German Matthias Yaisle, the Saudi Al -Ahly coach, revealed the reason for the exclusion of the Brazilian Galen from the starting lineup of his team against NEOM yesterday in the first round of the league championship in the meeting that the team won with a clean goal.

Matthias Yaisle said in statements to Al -Riyadiah newspaper: “The exclusion of Galeno from the starting lineup came with a disciplinary decision after the player was late for the technical meeting, so I had to remove him, which is the same thing that happened before with Ali Majrashi in the Super Cup semi -finals, and there is no difference between the foreign and Saudi player.”

He continued: “I will not talk about the deals, I am confident of the existing players and thank them for what they presented with us during the past two seasons.”

Yaeseh praised the new expatriate, Saleh Abu Al -Shamat, saying: “I am happy with him, because he is a Ahlawi player who was established inside the club and has great potential.”

The German coach added: “It is difficult to play after achieving an achievement. After we won the Saudi Super Cup title, we suffered yesterday against Neum and did not appear at the required level.”

Matthias Yaisle praised the level of NEOM, saying: “A very strong team and has a great future, and I thank him for his performance, and the summons of 5 players from Al -Ahly to the Saudi national team is evidence of the development of the local player within the club.”
