The reporter reported coldly Both the national football team and the Bahrain team have started training camps, and compared to Japan, Australia and Indonesia in the same group, the Saudi Arabian team is scheduled to train one day earlier. According to the original plan, after the 24th round of the league on March 7, the coach of the Saudi team will announce the national team squad for March. When the Saudi media predicts the new faces of the squad, the local golden boot Salim and the efficient full-back Abdul Shamatt are the favorites, in addition, some of the main players of the Saudi U20 national youth team, which has just won the runner-up of the U20 Asian Cup, may also enter the vision of coach Hainah.

At the 17th regular meeting of the Saudi Football Association on March 4, Saudi Football Federation President Misehar publicly expressed his support for the French head coach, but he also stressed that he would like to see a younger Saudi team qualify for the World Cup. Under the guidance of this ideology, the Saudi team squad that Hainach is about to hand over will inevitably have more new names.

Prepare a nutritious diet

Saudi Arabia coach Al-Hainach and assistant coach Duqi recently visited Roma to watch Saudi Arabia's left-back Abdulhamid play, and then spoke with Abdulhamid to understand the psychology of the Saudi national team's main defender. Abdulhamid is the only Saudi international player to play in the top five leagues, but he is not a regular in Roma, and Hainach will be hoping to help him adjust his mentality and play better for his national team.

Hainach also made a special diet for the Saudi international for the Ramadan month in March. Hainach contacted the clubs of the Saudi league through the Saudi Football Federation, hoping that the clubs would cooperate with the national team to implement this comprehensive diet plan and sports plan, and strive to improve the health level and nutritional awareness of the players through carefully matched sports nutrition diet and mental health monitoring, so as to ensure the stability of the players' condition.

In addition to the 32-year-old homegrown top scorer Salim and Abdul Shamat, right-back of the dark horse Qadisiyah, Jeddah National right-back Majilash has also been on the radar of the Saudi Arabian coach. The 25-year-old Magirash was born in the youth echelon of Riyadh, has played in Jeddah Nationals for 3 seasons, has made 29 appearances for Jeddah Nationals this season, Jeddah Nationals won consecutive dark horse Cadishiya and giant Riyadh Crescent in February, he has also played 8 times in the AFC Champions League elite league, and Al Rayyan in the first leg of the 1/8 final against Qatar played well on the defensive end, ensuring that the team defeated Al Rayyan 3-1 away and had the upper hand in the two-legged competition.

According to the famous Saudi Arabia station of Goal.com, Hainach's homegrown main players selected from the Saudi league will be the Saudi team's secret weapon for the round of 18 in March. The league's top scorer Salim can play anywhere in attack, including centre, shadow and even attacking midfield, giving Hainach plenty of tactical flexibility depending on the opposition. After 24 rounds of this season's Saudi league, Salim made 24 appearances for Sehat Gulf, handing over 11 goals and 3 assists, and last weekend Sehat Gulf drew 2-2 away to Jeddah National, Salim scored the first goal to equalize and end a four-game goal drought in the league.

The 22-year-old came through Jeddah's national squad and plays primarily at right-back. A versatile right-sided player with a strong ability to break through and accurate crosses, Abdul Shamat has scored five goals in 22 appearances for Al Ardisiyah this season, a remarkable number for a right-back. Shamatt's strengths are not limited to attacking and defending on the wings, he can also play in the central defensive position, and can help the Saudi team solve the problem of leaky and lack of speed in the Defence.

U20 newcomers have been taken seriously

The president of the Saudi Football Federation hopes that Hainach will give more opportunities to young players, especially the members of the Under-20 national youth team, who have just finished runners-up in the U20 Asian Cup. This group of players in the 2005 and 2006 age groups is the Saudi Football Association began to focus on training in 2019, and the Saudi Football Association specially set up the U15 and U13 national junior teams for these two age groups, and let these players participate in the Saudi U17 League in 2021, and the U15 national junior team also participated in the U15 West Asia Junior Tournament and won the runner-up.

The main players who won the runner-up of the U20 Asian Cup this time have begun to be valued by the club. Italian coach Stefano Pioli, who won victory in Riyadh, has just added Bassam Hazazi, the main midfielder of the Saudi Under-20 national youth team, to the first team. In Riyadh's 2-2 draw with Riyadh Youth last weekend, Hazazi was named in the squad for the first time. Hazazi came from the Dammam Collaborative Echelon and was only poached by Riyadh Victory earlier this year. Originally, winger Al-Haqawi and defender Awad Aman were the focus of Riyadh Victory's development and the main force of Saudi Arabia's Under-20 national youth team, but both players missed out on injury to the Under-20 Asian Cup. It is reported that Al-Hakawi will be sidelined for two weeks and Oman will be sidelined for 10 days. Whether Saudi Arabia coach Al-Hainach will consider recruiting them into the national team will depend on their recovery.

Shankitty, who won the Under-20 Asian Cup Goalkeeper of the Year award, is more likely to be favored by Heinach. Shankiti was born in Riyadh Crescent before moving to Riyadh Youth, eventually joining Jeddah United. Shankiti is tall and made a splash in the U20 Asian Cup. The goalkeeper is the weakest position for the Saudi team, with Owais, Al-Rubaii (Riyadh Crescent), Qassal (Al Qadisiyah) and Ajidi (Al Ahsa Conquest), selected during the round of 18 and the Gulf Cup, almost all of them being absolute substitutes on the bench at their respective clubs. Saudi media have called for Hainach to give a chance to newcomers who have just shown enough potential in Asian competitions rather than continue to use these veteran goalkeepers who are not guaranteed league form.

In addition to the four key players of the Under-20 national youth team, defender Mohammed Banawi (Oruba), midfielder Shamrani (Rasheng) and striker Al-Haji (Riyadh FC) have all played in the Saudi league. In the face of this group of the best young players in Saudi football in the past 7 years, Hainach will naturally pay enough attention.
