Consultant psychiatrist, Dr. Muhammad Ijaz Barasha, saw that the Riyadh Derby match, which will be held the day after tomorrow (Tuesday) at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, as part of the match presented by round (25) of the Saudi Roshan Professional League, differs by all measures from all the matches played by the two teams. For five reasons:
Derby matches are usually a public match and full of large attendance, as the history and record of the two teams is full of conflict and clubs since the inception of the two clubs, and therefore the victory of one of them over the other is considered for the club’s management and for the fans an achievement added to the record of competition and challenge.
Al-Nasr seeks to compete for the league, as it still clings to a glimmer of hope. The world of football is full of surprises, regardless of the League’s leadership, especially since the difference between them is not great, which gives great motivation to victory. In the other direction, Al-Hilal seeks to improve its image in front of the fans after Unsatisfactory recent results.
Usually in derby matches, the fans look at achieving victory without any regard for the technical level, and this is embodied in the historical struggle of the two teams.
Bracha added that among the reasons as well:
The coaches of the two teams sought to prove their presence and their ability to excel, and therefore the coach's plan will have a major role in achieving victory and reaping match points.
The presence of senior professional players in the two clubs, which adds a lot of experience and enhances the level of technical performance.
Bracha said that the psychological aspect of the players of the two teams is naturally stable to a large extent, especially Al-Nasr, even if the task and responsibility of Al-Hilal has become doubled after the recent unsatisfactory results, and this is what makes the psychological aspect of the Al-Hilalis fraught with tension in an effort to overcome this match and reconcile with the fans at the expense of its arch-rivals Al-Nasr.
Baracha warned all fans against sports fanaticism and deviating from ethics on social media, explaining that the strong competition between the two teams does not mean using social media to exchange inappropriate phrases and opinions. For his club out of control.
