The national team A’ will play tomorrow the second match of CHAN-2022 which will oppose it to its counterpart of Ethiopia at 8 p.m. at the Nelson Mandela stadium. National coach Madjid Bougherra talks about this important meeting, where victory will mean qualifying for the second round of the tournament.
National team A’ started CHAN-2022 on a good note. Indeed, it won last Friday against Libya by the smallest of margins. A snatch victory, certainly, but oh so important, insofar as it allowed him to take the lead of the group.
Tomorrow evening, the local EN will face Ethiopia. She will be called upon to confirm, by chaining another victory in order to compose her qualifying ticket for the 2nd round of the continental competition.
“It’s a team that has nine players on the team. She plays the ball well with good automation. We supervised our opponent, we must respect him. I have great confidence in my players. If they will be good, I am convinced that we will win the match. A victory synonymous with qualification for the second round of the competition. Said national coach Madjid Bougherra during the pre-match press conference.
The former Greens defender also commented on the presence of Djamel Belmadi at the CTN in Sidi Moussa. “The presence of Belmadi makes us happy. It gives us strength. He is there in support mode and will remain until the end of the tournament. I’ve learned a lot from him over the past few years.” he will say.
Why Bougherra asked his players to avoid social networks?
Since the start of CHAN, Madjid Bougherra has deprived his players of social networks. National coach A’ explains during the press conference this morning.
“I asked my players to avoid social media the day before each match in order to maintain their concentration. This is also the case after the game because it takes a lot of energy looking at photos and videos. We had this experience during the Arab Cup. Staying connected to the phone by chaining videos risks becoming a bad habit. So that’s why I asked them to avoid social media. he explained.
