The Deputy Director of Competitions at the AFC considered that Al Hilal was not subjected to injustice as it withdrew from the Asian Champions League, due to its inability to provide 13 players before its match with Shabab Al-Ahly due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus in its ranks.
The AFC had considered the defending champions’ results null and inconsiderable for violating the tournament’s regulations, despite mathematically guaranteeing qualification to the final price.
Corona hit Al Hilal players in several batches, to the point that he presented a list of 11 players, including three goalkeepers, after the number of injured from his players reached 19.
“The minimum number was 13 players, and this number was agreed upon before the tournament, and it also conforms to the rules of the European Union for the game, unfortunately,” Avazbek Berdikulov said today, Friday, in a meeting through the application of “Zoom”. Al-Hilal did not succeed in bringing 13 players before his last match. “
After Al-Hilal objected to the AFC’s decision to cancel its results and not postpone its match with Shabab Al-Ahly, “because the postponement will have a significant negative impact on the current program of the AFC Champions League matches for the Western region,” the Discipline and Ethics Committee responded to his objection, “without issuing any additional comment on this matter.”
And about allowing him to replace two Corona-injured guards without other field players, he added, “We allow each club to score 35 players for the whole season, but the season is long and we understand that injuries will occur. The club can choose 21 players from its list to play each match.”
“One or two guards can be substituted if they are severely injured, as the goalkeeper has distinct characteristics from the rest of the players, and this is what Al Hilal did. After our medical team made sure that the two guards could not return in 30 days, we allowed them to replace two guards. But for the rest of the players it does not allow Laws so. ”
One team from Saudi Arabia has succeeded in completing the Asian competition, the Saudi Al-Nasr team, which is in the Champions League semi-finals tomorrow, Saturday, against Iranian Persepolis.
