Faced with the vast wave of criticism that the Algerian coach, Djamel Belmadi, has suffered since the elimination of the Algerian team from the race for the 2022 World Cup, the Algerian Football Federation has taken a stand.
Indeed, multiple attacks, direct and indirect, have targeted the Algerian coach following Blida’s debacle against Cameroon. In their line of sight, the detractors of Djamel Belmadi did not go with the back of the spoon to “put the hat on” to the leader of the technical edge of the Algerian selection.
The response of the FAF was carried by the communication officer of the Algerian football authority. Thus, in a statement to the Algerian press, Salah Bey-Aboud said, “We are not against constructive criticism that brings more to the national team. Like any coach, Djamel Belmadi has been criticized. This must remain within a healthy framework and must not exceed certain limits to touch upon subjects which bring nothing, or even destroy, the national team. he declares.
An answer intended for all the critics of the Algerian coach, and, perhaps, for a certain Hafid Derradji, who evoked the failure of the national selection by linking it to the “counter-performances” of Belmadi.
Indeed, declaring that “Belmadi has a great deal of responsibility for the failure of the Greens”, the BeIN Sports commentator attacked coach Belmadi directly. A declaration which has aroused many strong reactions and which has not gone unnoticed.
“They don’t have the status to criticize” the final response of the FAF to put an end to the criticism?
Continuing his pleading, the FAF Communication Officer, Salah Bey-Aboud added, “Djamel Belmadi has succeeded in setting up a solid national team, he has won titles for Algeria. The Algerian state and the federation have renewed their confidence in him. After each gathering, he continues the preparations in order to start the next matches. The national technical staff works in silence. he says.
Believing that the criticisms aimed at the national coach are part of an agenda whose only goal is the destruction of the Algerian team, Salah Bey-Aboud declared, “We must not grant these people a important that they do not deserve. They do not have the status to attack coach Belmadi in this way or to be able to change anything. It’s an orchestrated company that aims to discredit people who work and who have proven. he explains.
Insisting that constructive criticism is welcome, the Algerian Football Federation’s Communication Officer said, “We have to let our staff work calmly. It is, however, necessary to choose the right timing to criticize. It must be objectively done. Disqualification? We must overcome it by working so that stability reigns. Coach Belmadi is a successful person. Obviously, in any career, there are successes and failures. ” he added. It is said !
