Elimination of the selection at ‘Madjid Bougherra evokes the causes …
An international, Sao Paulo striker, said in an interview: “There is a big difference between making a fault and being a mean player. The faults, sometimes, win matches. I would even say more; It is understanding the game ”.
The elimination of the Algerian selection of football this Saturday against Sudan in a match counting for the quarter-finals of the Chan-2024, offers on a set of subjects, an opportunity to let go of some criticisms on a nucleus which failed to go to the end of the ambitions. On this one, the faults did not win the Greens. The Algerian public will remember, for its part, that Bougherra’s elements have not experienced any defeats, if not this elimination for penalties. The other highlights by professionals is that the public values the talent as much as the efforts of the players, in this case the sacrifice and the work made to achieve positive results.
The synthesis of a supporter
This elimination? Everyone talks about it, like this managerial framework, has hocine, DRH of a private company “When it comes to our national team, whatever the result, we express a form of unconditional loyalty and attachment to the flag and the team of our country. Support does not depend on sporting performance, but on belonging and national identification. Knowing that things are not often easy for the coach, the consultant or the player. ”
The coach Madjid Bougherra is explained…
“It is an end of premature course for Algeria”. After his broad victory over Uganda (3-0), and after this victory, the tone alerts a feverishness. Three consecutive draws against South Africa, Guinea and Niger threatened the ambitions of the Greens. “We no longer arrive at brand”. This confirms the fall in the performance level. This is a scenario that should not be put back on the lawn, a consequence of an encounter that drifts. Bougherra, the coach, recognizes him during his press conference “There are situations where you have to go to the end, especially in the first period. But the Sudan style disturbed us: a lot of long balls, powerful players in front, a compact block and a big pressing on the second balloons. To build the game, it took time ”.
Quickly after the break, the Algerians received a first goal against their camp signed Ghazala (48th). The equalization of Bayazid (64th) was not enough then to surprise the Sudanese “after equalization, we were in their area, but it was not easy to reach the goal. They all fought together. The players have done their maximum, ”said Bougherra.
“I’m not here to apologize”
Asked about the reception conditions and the condition of the land, the coach refused to take shelter behind excuses. “It was the same case for everyone. Yes, Meziane had a concern to the adductor because of hard ground, but overall, the reception was very good in Uganda, Kenya and here in Tanzania. It’s a good experience, a good adventure, ”he said. We do not count the shots to the goal. We remain undefeated and that means that there is something, even if a little detail is still missing. Al Hamdouli’Allah, I am proud of my players, ”concluded the coach, calling on his protégés to recover before finding their clubs. A cruel elimination, but rich in lessons, which will have to serve as a basis to rebuild for the next deadlines, with the Arab Cup of Nations, planned in Doha (Qatar) from December 1 to 18, where Algeria will defend its title. He will announce that lessons have been learned, without saying which ones, but will add “This chan has allowed us to identify the players likely to be selected. There will surely be more competition to remember the best ”.
