* عندما تملّك صندوق الاستثمارات العامة الأندية الجماهيرية بنسبة 75% بدأ مشروع رياضي حقيقي على يد ملهمنا سيدي محمد بن سلمان.. ويجب أن تكون له نتائج واضحة أمام المشهد الرياضي العالمي..
* قبل الصندوق كنت أقول إن الدوري السعودي من ضمن أقوى 10 دوريات في العالم، وبعد الصندوق زادت تلك القوة ليكون من ضمن أقوى 5 دوريات.
* صندوق الاستثمارات من أهدافه الاستثمار بالنتائج، ورغم دعم الصندوق للأندية الأربعة بشكل متفاوت كان النصر والهلال الأكثر دعماً يليهما الاتحاد ويتذيل الدعم النادي الأهلي! إلا أن الأندية الثلاثة الأكثر دعماً خرجت جميعها من دوري أبطال آسيا الموسم قبل الماضي.. ولم يصل أحدها حتى للنهائي.
* ولكن.. وبعد لكن الكثير.. أتى رابع الأندية دعماً، الذي كما يحلو لبعض الطبقات مناداته (العائد من يلو) ليتربع عرش آسيا ويحققها بنسختها النخبوية الأقوى.. وبذلك يكون أول نادٍ قدّم ناتجاً كبيراً على مستوى القارة.. أهله ذلك لأن يلعب بطولة القارات، وكذلك كأس العالم للأندية 2029..
* تلى هذا النجاح نجاح آخر لممثل الأندية السعودية في كأس العالم نادي الهلال الذي قدّم كأس عالم تاريخيّاً لم يهزم فيه حتى الآن.. كسر سلسلة بدايات ريال مدريد في كأس العالم بالفوز، وتعادل معه، ثم تعادل مع أحد الأندية الأكثر تطوراً سالزبورغ المملوك لريد بول ثم فاز على باتشوكا.. وتأهل لدور الـ19.
* لم يقف الأمر عند هذا.. فبعد الإنجاز بالتأهل تحقق الإعجاز.. لم يكن هناك أي شخص ينتظر فوز الهلال على نادٍ يدربه بيب غوارديولا.. نادٍ سيطر على البريمير ليغ في غالب السنوات العشر الأخيرة وهو مانشستر سيتي..!
* وأنا أشاهد المباراة وأحداثها تملكني الفخر بأن اسم وطني سيزيد رفعة.. استمتعت في فجر الثلاثاء متعة كروية كاملة الدسم.. تلقّى العالم صدمة من النوع الثقيل جدّاً.. نادٍ سعودي في مسابقة رسمية يفوز على أحد أفضل أندية العالم بل حامل اللقب..!
* هنا يجب أن ننزع من عقلياتنا ما يسمى بإعلام الأندية.. فالمشروع الرياضي السعودي هو مشروع وطني كبير.. علينا أن ندعم كل منجز يتحقق ما دام هناك (مشروع) وطني عام.. فيما قبل كان يحق لنا أن ننحاز للميول.. كون هناك من كان يعمل في مناصب رياضية وينحاز لميوله.. ولكن كل شيء جارٍ تغييره.. ونحن مع التغيير.
* ساءني جداً ما شاهدته من بعض ردود الفعل التي قللت من منجزي الأهلي والهلال واصفين ومتحججين بحجج تبين ضعفهم لا ضعف المنجزين.. سيقول البعض مجرد التأهل ليس منجزاً.. وأقول له في كأس العالم هو منجز لمن يفهم..
* وضحكت كثيراً حينما قرأت في منصة X قول البعض إن مباراة الهلال ومان سيتي فلم أو مسرحية وما شابه.. الحقيقة أن البعض يفضح ضعفه قبل حجته الواهية..

* في فن المنافسة يقال لدينا في الحجاز: «إذا ناطحت ناطح جمل لا تناطح نعجة» في إشارة إلى أن الجمل يأكل ورأسه مرفوع حتى وإن كان أكله شوك السدر.. لا أن تنافس نعجة رأسها دائم على العشب.
* لذلك حينما يكون منافسك قوياً وتعترف بذلك.. فأنت قوي.. وإن لم تعترف وتتحجج.. فأنت حتماً ضعيف.

* When the Public Investment Fund acquired 75% of the fan clubs, a real sports project began under the inspiration of our leader, His Highness Mohammed bin Salman. It should have clear results in the global sports scene..
* Before the fund, I used to say that the Saudi league was among the top 10 leagues in the world, and after the fund, that strength increased to make it one of the top 5 leagues.
* One of the goals of the investment fund is to invest based on results. Despite the fund's varying support for the four clubs, Al-Nasr and Al-Hilal received the most support, followed by Al-Ittihad, while Al-Ahli received the least support! However, all three clubs that received the most support were eliminated from the AFC Champions League two seasons ago, and none reached the final.
* But... after many "buts," the fourth club in terms of support, which some circles like to call (the return from Yellow), rose to the throne of Asia and achieved it in its strongest elite version. Thus, it became the first club to deliver a significant result at the continental level, allowing it to play in the Continental Championship and the 2029 Club World Cup..
* Following this success, another success was achieved by the Saudi club representative in the World Cup, Al-Hilal, which presented a historically undefeated World Cup so far. It broke Real Madrid's winning streak in the World Cup, drew with them, then drew with one of the most developed clubs, Salzburg, owned by Red Bull, and then won against Pachuca, qualifying for the Round of 19.
* The matter did not stop there. After the achievement of qualification, a miracle occurred. No one expected Al-Hilal to win against a club coached by Pep Guardiola, a club that has dominated the Premier League for most of the last ten years, which is Manchester City..!
* As I watched the match and its events, I felt proud that the name of my country would rise higher. I enjoyed a full football experience on Tuesday morning. The world received a very heavy shock... A Saudi club in an official competition wins against one of the best clubs in the world, the reigning champion..!
* Here, we must remove from our minds what is called club media. The Saudi sports project is a large national project. We must support every achievement that is realized as long as there is a general national "project." Previously, we had the right to lean towards our preferences since there were those who worked in sports positions and leaned towards their inclinations. But everything is changing, and we are with the change.
* I was very saddened by some reactions that belittled the achievements of Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal, describing them and justifying their arguments with reasons that reveal their weakness, not the weakness of the achievers. Some will say that mere qualification is not an achievement, and I say to them that in the World Cup, it is an achievement for those who understand..
* I laughed a lot when I read on platform X that some said the match between Al-Hilal and Man City was a film or a play, and so on. The truth is that some expose their weakness before their flimsy arguments..

* In the art of competition, we say in Hijaz: "If you butt heads with a camel, do not butt heads with a sheep," referring to the fact that the camel eats with its head held high even if it eats thorny leaves, unlike a sheep whose head is always down on the grass.
* Therefore, when your competitor is strong and you acknowledge that, you are strong. If you do not acknowledge and make excuses, you are certainly weak.
