Star Alliance and Ansar: In Search of Politics

Abdelkader Saad-

Al Najma club is allied with Al Ansar club. This is not a "joke" or a rumor. Is this a fact that happened last week on Future TV. Directly on the air, club president Asaad Saqqal and club president Ansar Nabil Badr announced their alliance. It's a sign of the spherical clock, some say sarcastically. Lebanese football poles and elders are allies. Can you see Barcelona and Real Madrid allies? Milan and Inter? Liverpool and Manchester United? Ahli and Zamalek? When something out of the ordinary and out of nature occurs in Lebanon, you "seek" politics.

When Najma and Al-Ansar meet in a TV interview, they seek politics. When historical opponents declare their alliance, they seek politics. When Al-Ansar's president, Nabil Bader, announced that the president of the Lebanese Football Federation, Hashim Haidar, was the most treacherous of the federation, he accused him two weeks ago of protect Al Najma within the Union. When the president of the club, Asaad Saqal, declares allied to his rival Al-Ansar against the federation, knowing that his club can be considered as "the spoiled child" of this union. While "sweeping" Sakhl and the name of the member of the Executive Committee, Musa Makki, as a major opponent, shifted the problem from the search for politics to the search for sectarianism, according to the opinion of many football players.

A few days before the television broadcast that brought the two clubs together, there was a meeting between Saqel and Badr under the auspices of Future Movement sports director, his colleague Hossam Zbibu. The latter is the idea of ​​sponsor of the alliance. The goal is political. A gift at home from mid to month of birth, according to what some people consider. The Lebanese football poles announce their alliance and the Future TV channel, which is led by Zbibu, its sports division, as a gift from one person to another.

What is important is that the meeting reached an agreement on the declaration of an alliance between Najma and Ansar. The correction focused on the Lebanese Football Federation, but neutralizing his head, Hashim Haider. It is clear from Badr's comments about Haidar's neutrality and pure rhetoric that "Mr. Hram is in football." President Ansar has not found any problem in this alliance as long as she is against the Union even though she has to neutralize the President despite the attack described in an official club statement .

"Slips of language" often reveal the truth. Badr is committed entirely, but the pure "Zhat". He pointed out that the problem with the Union was the control of Musa Makki, a member of the executive committee. He misjudged and did not comply with the instructions, according to some. The alliance went from the "savior" to the Lebanese ball and made it a political alliance with a "sectarian hue". What he was supposed to show, is that the two clubs were united under an authority capable of unifying them: he lit his "cooks". How are the Sunni Sunnis not allied with the Shiite member and what he represents, just like the Shia club, the alliance. Perhaps colleague Sobhi Qablawi's question about the exploitation of a party struggle, Najmah and Ansar, to sneak into the titles, is another indication that the alliance is against the Pact.

After the case came out of the agreed framework, some sources confirm, Zabibo was embarrbaded, it was only to contact Hizbollah's head of sport mobilization, Hajj Attia, saying that he rejected the words of Sakal and Badr! Zbibu told Atia that football was not run this way and that he did not know that they would say what they were saying, highlighting the rejection of sectarianism and non alignments. sports!

Atiya, for his part, came back and called Zibibu to ask him to apologize to Moussa Mekki after his direct participation, questioning the usefulness of such an alliance for two clubs with a mixed public. Zabibo could only take care of it. But the statement was not published and the surprise was a statement that was made a few days ago to a scapegoan praising Makki 's integrity after having accused him of being charged. having led the union.

The important thing is that after the episode and the declaration of the alliance, the Njmawiya and social networking sites have boiled. "We are allied with Ansar ?!" The coalition engineers forgot that the star star base was not in the reference line, its shadow to be described as being the shadow of the poles of the Lebanese bullet. Asaad Saqal, the club's president, was forced to record an explanatory video, but it was too late. The intentions have been revealed and what has been said about the federal unfairness of the star has turned into paw. Shazik used the Musa Hajij icon to attract attention and absorb anger.

A federal official asks if the star is a fighter from the Lebanese Football Federation and he responds with a long laugh and a short answer: "If I tell you that I will be ruined." Another official questions Salik's words about the federal injustice: "Go ask former Vice President Salah Osseiran and former Secretary Saad Eddin. Itani, if their club is oppressed at the federal level. " Go and ask if you have applied for an application and have not done so yet.

The official asks where he begins to describe how the star is the "white duck" of the union. "Where do I start?" pushing the league for a full week like the star's eyes and a breakthrough in the field in front of the star of the match and Al Ansar on the sports stadium of the city? the tenth week between the star and the alliance with the desire of the star and not another party ".

All the information confirms that the postponement of the match was satisfied with the star and support of the chairman of the board of directors, Riyadh Sheikha Sports City, and the establishment of a federation. Not to the will of the Union, but to save face and prevent the stadium of the city to be closed in front of him. The Cypriot referee team checked the pitch nine hours before the match and said that it was playable. He wanted to see her again at 5:30 pm, but the decision to postpone was not made before. How can the star be a warrior?

Do not ask the audience of the star why he was asked not to go to the Union and go to the stadium where there was a word for President Sakal, then an absurd statement about him. Union's decision to postpone? Is it because of federal anger that those who want to postpone gambling help to "dress" the Union to this postponement?

The manager comes back a little and starts talking about the relationship between the star-union and the facilities it gets. Signatures of foreign players and after the TMS to the signatures of the players of the age groups and then pay the money later because there is no money in the club. In addition, the annual financial statements, in which the club Al Najma Medina appears to other clubs, due to the financial crisis that has known the club. Where the club is fighting and when its officials request that observers be placed on the doors of the track to ensure that some people do not enter for free, the instructions of the head of the playground committee, Musa Makki, must help them and help them.

According to sources, the list of Al-Najmah could be expanded, the goal being to raise awareness of Al Najma supporters after misleading them twice: the first one when the "Al-Najmah" list was released. announcement of the alliance and the second during the clarification of this alliance through a video of the club's president, Assaad Sakal. Notably, this is not against any Union, but against Moses Makki and the Covenant Club. Alliance has announced revealed intentions, regretting the godfathers, trying to relieve the damage but too late.

Is the alliance coherent?

The speech on the rule of the alliance and the maki of the union provokes more than a disciple and a leader. We start with Makki's relationship with the club officials, which is often tense as a result of decisions made by the club and which club officials consider to be favorable to the star. Financial penalties are dilapidated by the stadiums and dates of the matches.

The latest example of Al-Najmah and Al-Ahd's postponement is that Al-Yafer club officials believe Makki has contributed to the problem. One of the leaders of the Al-Ahed club is surprised to talk about the "duck" clubs in orbit of the Convention, as Sakkal said during the TV interview. "This season is an obstacle to the Covenant once by the Racing Club, which has borrowed five players from the Al-Ahed club, four of which are essential.If there were items under the table, they would not attract us. We conceded three goals this season, one of them in the game with the fraternity, who won with difficulty the alliance (2 – 1).

The goal was scored by fraternity striker Ahmed Hijazi, who knows the Covenant, the official said. "Where are we going? Do you exclude Hussein Al-Zein from the team despite much consensus on his right to be part of the national team? Did Haitham Faour not return to the team after a behavioral error only after his apology in public? Did the deal with Al Tadamon blow up last season's two games in Saida and transfer our match to the Tire stadium under pressure from one of the clubs? "

Badr: I felt that the union was in agreement with us

The president of Al-Ansar, Nabil Bader, confirmed in an interview with Al-Akhbar that the coalition was against any Lebanese club, contrary to what some have tried to describe: "All Lebanese teams must be united against injustice and against those who target it. " "Our alliance came after we felt targeted on the stars and supporters, and that we made the decision to stop, then call Asaad Sakal to investigate and prevent it."

Despite the fact that they share the same feeling that something is going on against them, "I accepted what we called an alliance because I felt that the union of the game had been agreed upon. , which also feels the head of the star ".

But is this alliance the result of a certain political atmosphere in which both clubs evolve?

Badr replies: "Absolutely not, this alliance is in the interest of the first and last game, because no one in politics has asked us, and everyone knows that Nabil Badr does not agree to ask him anything to implement it, but our efforts come from full conviction. "It's a purely sporting alliance that aims to send the Union messages that we do not accept injustices or are marginalized." Marginalization puts him in the absence of any representative of the star or supporters of the union. He asks: "Why are the alliance clubs, the serenity, the Ahli brothers and others defending them at the federation table, where we are not represented while we are the two biggest clubs in Lebanon? ? "

But Badr himself referred to the Union as "political", at a time when he was still talking about the presence of a member on the orbit of his club on the Executive Committee. But the man does not see it that way. He says, "I want someone from us and from us, not as close to us as him." "We respect the politicians, but the federal member who represents us wants to see it more political, which is convinced by our political reference, because we put the Lebanese ball in the foreground." While Badr continues to speak about the deliberate wrongdoing his team inflicted on him on the ground, and what he described as malicious, which led to his arrest because the Union does not rely on no material that applies to him, never let go of the "sensitivity" of sports between the star and his supporters, even if an alliance "We spent the season on top of each other and we had federal slaps together, which forced us to form a coalition, one of us thinking that the injustice would be the other or its defenders ".

"Yes, it is an alliance based on this base, it is an injustice, but it is not detrimental to light the error of what the star has committed, for example, just as it happened when his audience came into play against the young invaders, at a time when we asked our audience to engage and not to attend after our judgment, here I again ask members of the Federation to where are you coming? "

The public star "threatens"!

The public was shocked by the alliance announced by the president of his club, Asaad Sakkal, with the club's president, Nabil Badr. Fans have forgotten the heavy loss of the alliance and have been concerned about the interpretation and rejection of this alliance. The first reaction to social media was the total refusal to stand with the old sports opponent: fans published historical photos of their team, claiming that no one had ever defended the star and that the coalition had been rejected by the mbades. One of the biggest Facebook club pages, a referendum on fan opinion.

Of the 4200 votes cast, 67% rejected the alliance, threatening to visit the forum of the Pact in case that would be what the president of the club would have said! Considering that this alliance had a political background – sectarian – this applies on the order of a political reference, which includes both clubs in the shadows, and a scenario similar to what happened there more than ten years ago, when the club's management announced its affiliation with the Future Movement. This was the reason for the rejection of the majority, while the sports rivalry with Ansar came in second place, while some justified his consent to the alliance, abandoning in any way the Covenant Club. Informal Facebook club page, referring to the alliance issue right after the interview between Sakal and Badr.

The comments of the fans were almost identical. Between the rejection of this alliance, and another refusal to speak on behalf of the public other than the public itself, and those who believe that understanding a new defeat off the field involves surrendering to the fact that the Covenant has become stronger than the clubs of the star and his supporters. Those who did not go too far in the interpretation of the alliance make fun of him, considering that in this "stage in the progression of football, which will go to the clubs of the rest of the world", how to join Barcelona with Real Madrid and Liverpool with Manchester United and AC Milan with Inter Milan?

Convention player Hussein Dikek set off on a motorcycle with seven-year-old goalkeeper Ali, following the last two teams in the sports stadium in Beirut. Al Najma lost the match with a heavy result (30) and clashes between security forces and some of the public after the end of the meeting. The personal relationships between the players of different clubs are very good, they always have common activities outside the stadium and their relations during the camps and the team matches are more than positive. Media statements always contribute to the stress of the atmosphere, especially when they are administrators and club leaders, and they have a negative impact on the mbades.
