* Did you expect, Captain Abdullah, that the team would rise or stay in the second league… Tell us honestly?

You, as one of the prominent players in the team, refrained from training due to club circumstances until you were called before the trip.. So what did you expect from this participation?
– First of all, I congratulate the representative of Taiz and the loyal fans of Al-Tali on this success. In fact, we were not physically ready before the tournament due to the postponement of the league and the change of its starting dates. But when the league was announced, we were psychologically and morally ready for Al-Tali’ah, we had the confidence and will to grab the qualification ticket. Glory to God, God has honored us.

We thank our dear captain and our father Abdullah, the writer who worked hard with us, and we also thank the loyal players and the management who made a great effort with us.. And we thank the fans of the avant-garde who visited us from the beginning of the preparations.
* And then we were with the star of the gathering, according to everyone’s testimony, captain Zidane Nabil Makram, who said: “It is true that we went through difficult moments until the last moments of moving to Seiyun, but the secret of what was achieved was the presence of the technical staff and management who created closeness and harmony between us as a unique team and players and made us feel like one family. This was reflected in our performance and results, and thank God, we reached our desired goal, which is the ascent, and we do not forget to thank the fans of the avant-garde and their financial and moral support.”
* In your opinion, Captain Zidane, how will it be after the ascension to preserve this achievement, and how would you stay in this natural place for you?
– I do not hide from you, my brother Riyad, that the task is difficult now, after returning to the League of Light, because the demands require great financial and moral support, and the hope for the righteous supporters of Taiz is great, after God.
* The great attacking fullback, Captain Muhammad Wahib, spoke, saying, “Of course, everyone knows that the financial conditions that Vanguard Club of Taiz is going through .. no income .. no stable financial support .. and perhaps our biggest suffering is the financial aspect, knowing that we were before we prepared to travel to Seiyun. The biggest obstacle in front of us was the lack of buses to transport the players to Seiyun, and from here we thank the brothers at (Al -Shorouk Club), and the brother, General Director of the Youth and Sports Office, Mr. Ayman Al-Mikhlafi. Fans, financiers and businessmen, to ask them to provide (a special bus) for Al-Talia Club, because the bus of the previous club was damaged due to the war and the other bus is in Al-Hawban.
