Nekounam, Shojaei, Karimi were the best players of national team at that time, and they moved to Europe thanks to their performance in national team, especially, Nekounam in 2006 WC, Emirate clubs didn't play any positive role in their promotion, vice versa Majidi ruined his career playing for Al Wasl. Before analyzing performance of Uzbek players who committed greatest mistake in their life playing there, it's worth to note that all of them were just candidates to national team or players going to end their career (Kapadze, Bakayev and etc). Our top players at that time were playing for Dinamo Kiev (Shatskikh), Juventus/Reggina (Zeytullayev), Spartak Moscow (Irismetov) and etc.
in 2006 Karimi was'nt in Al Ahli he played from 2001 to 2005 and was scouted by as for Majidi he was a third option in his international career behind Ali Daei and UAE league's bust please stop talking as if you Uzbekistan a gold mine of talents they either role players or busts when they played in UAE
It is not going to happen this time. Saudis were playing another Arab nation. Arab football confederation won't make any decision against any Arab team. It works only if your opponent team is non-Arab.
Ali Karimi was already a famous player when he joined Al Ahli for money and being close to home. He had offers from many European clubs in 2000-2001 including a one million dollar offer from Altletico Madrid which he refused.
If you are calling the Asian Confederation an "Arabian" one then yeah right, it seems to be doing wonders for Hilal in these previous years...
usually our third-sort players used to play in UAE, thus your tentative impressions are partially right, but Uzbekistan is a really gold mine of talents, our U-17 and U-20 teams are reaching World Cup Quarterfinals in last three consecutive seasons
GUANGZHOU EVERGRANDE WIN 2015 AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Guangzhou: China’s Guangzhou Evergrande won the AFC Champions League for the second time in three years as a goal from Brazilian striker Elkeson secured a 1-0 victory on aggregate over 10-men Al Ahli of the United Arab Emirates in Saturday’s final second leg at Tianhe Sport Centre Stadium. Having been on target in the 2013 final when Guangzhou defeated Korea Republic’s FC Seoul on away goals to claim a first continental title in 23 years for China, Elkeson ensured a repeat of history with his strike on 54 minutes to break the deadlock. And despite Al Ahli pushing for an equaliser, with a score-draw being enough for the visitors to claim the title, the sending off of Salmin Khamis proved an obstacle too big to overcome and sparked celebrations amongst the capacity crowd in the southern Chinese city.
