"Forgive us": Yemen coach lashes out at his players after the debacle against the UAE
Goal | 25.09.2026 02:12
Angry, apologetic in a way the Yemeni public had never seen from him, Algeria's Noureddine Ould Ali broke his silence to open fire on his players. Less than 90 minutes into a disastrous opener, the coach reached for no flimsy excuses. He levelled a direct, harsh accusation instead, branding it "collective negligence" on a dark night that ended in a humiliating four-goal defeat to the UAE in Yemen's opening fixture at Gulf Cup 27.
