From Dubai perspective, this kind of tournament meets our strategic objectives.
00:08
This kind of events help our players to be at international level,
00:17
especially when they play with the best kind of clubs and training centres.
00:26
There's a lot of players who come through this tournament, like Majid Hassan, Ali Salmeen,
00:33
a lot of good players in Dubai clubs.
00:37
We concentrate on under-16s and under-18s because it's a very important age,
00:45
especially before going to the first team.
00:49
That's why we consider this age as a very important age,
00:53
to give them more experience in football and also outside programs.
00:59
In Germany we spend not as much time as we spend here together,
01:04
because in Germany we usually have training together in the evening,
01:07
we have our championship on the weekend,
01:10
but here we are very close together, we have the hotel,
01:14
we have a very good organisation from the Dubai Sports Council,
01:18
so that we can do something off the pitch.
01:21
People in Dubai are very nice, the organisation of the tournament is very good on and off the pitch,
01:27
and it's a very good experience for our players.
01:30
The importance of this tournament for us is mainly the exchange,
01:36
the exchange between sports and social cultures.
01:42
It's very important for the exchange of cultures and social as well.
01:58
It helps a lot in the development of their players, Flamengo players,
02:03
and it's a high level of competitors here.
02:06
This makes this whole situation very important for the formation of the athletes.
02:36
We are playing in the Champions League for 16 years,
02:39
for the future it's good, we have some players,
02:43
for the future maybe two or three players,
02:45
it's good when they play against strong teams.
02:49
For the national team, the UEFA national team,
02:51
and for the first team, Alwasser's first team, it's very good.
02:55
I think the organisation is very, very good,
02:59
I think the tournament is very good for the players under 16,
03:03
because those players need to play matches,
03:06
and for me, if these tournaments continue, it's good for the younger players.
03:14
I like the equipment, I like the pitch, I like Dubai,
03:20
I am very happy, and I think the organisation,
03:24
if I put a number 1 or 10, for me it's 10.
03:33
