Bougherra élargit ses choix – Le Jeune Indépendant

As the Arabic Cup planned in Qatar from December 1 to 18, the national team coach A ‘, Magid Bougherra (42) has decided to expand his players list. He should rely not only on the elements of the local championship, but also on professionals playing in various European and Arab championships. A strategic orientation born from the mixed observation of the last participation of the Greens in the Chan, sold by an elimination in the quarterfinals against Sudan in penalties. The first experiments will take place from the two friendly games against Palestine, scheduled for October 9 and 13 at the Stade of May 19, 1956 of Annaba. According to information collected by Al-Arabby al-Jadeed, several new features may appear in the next list.

The győr striker, in Hungary, Nadhir Benbouali (25), author of 6 goals in 12 games this season, is one of the serious tracks. Its integration would constitute a major asset on the offensive level, provided that its presence is confirmed. The goalkeeper position also remains a priority for Bougherra. The services deemed insufficient by Zakaria Bouhalfaya (28, CS Constantine) during the last chan pushed the staff to consider other options.

The return of the veteran Raïs M’Bolhi (39 years old), now competitive with Mostaganem, is seriously considered. In parallel, discussions are underway with young talents evolving abroad, such as Kylian Belazoug (18, Rennes) and Ryan Yesli (25, Halifax – Canada). The coach also probes the field to convince players from the major European championships. Among them, Yacine Ben Hattab (22, Nantes) and Kamil Negli (23, Millwall), already an Olympic international.

The prospect of integrating professionals in activity in the Arab championships is also envisaged, notably with Adel Boulbina (22, al-Duhail) and Redouane Berkane (22, al-Wakrah) in Qatar, without forgetting Abderrahim Deghmoum (26 years old), who is currently illustrating with Al-Masry in Egypt. With this opening, Madjid Bougherra intends to give a new dimension to the national team A ‘and strengthen its chances during the Arab Cup. However, the feasibility of these reinforcements will depend on the availability of clubs, since it is not the first team led by Vladimir Petkovic.
