A volcano of anger in the “Greens” camp…
The technical staff of the Algerian national team is heading to make radical and extensive adjustments to the basic lineup and tactical system during its current camp at the “Rock Chalk Park” complex in the American city of Lawrence. This step comes within the framework of intensive preparations for the upcoming and fateful match against the Jordanian national team, with the aim of compensating for the first loss that the team suffered against Argentina by three clean goals, and to ensure that it maintains its full chances of qualifying from this group before playing the final confrontation in the first round against the Austrian national team.
Indicators leaked from recent training sessions showed that the coach decided to review his options in the three lines to address the defensive imbalance and the lack of offensive effectiveness that appeared in the opening match. The expected changes begin from the back line, where goalkeeping is expected to be assigned to Oussama Ben Bout, while the depth of the defense will witness a new partnership combining Ramy Ben Sabaini, Zinedine Belaid and Rafik Belghali to give greater accuracy in positioning and control, and Joan Hajam, the Swiss Young Boys defender, will also be relied upon in the left corridor. As a modern full-back, he balances defensive coverage and offensive support to break up the expected cluster of the Jordanian national team.
In the midfield, the technical staff decided to change the method of constructing the game and ensuring the defensive rebound by placing Ramez Zerrougui as an explicit focal player who undertakes the tasks of cutting balls and securing spaces in front of the center of the defence, and in front of him, the duo Ibrahim Maza and Fares Shaybi will be given complete freedom in making plays, rotating the ball, and moving attacks quickly towards the front line, which the technicians see as a decisive solution to impose the style of possession and control the rhythm of the match from the first minutes.
As for the level of the offensive locomotive, the physical reports imposed the necessity of dealing with the state of accumulated fatigue of some of the elements by managing their efforts accurately. However, the technical staff tends to risk all of its basic cards due to the importance of the three points, as Mohamed Al-Amin Ammoura will lead the attack as a clear attacking center to exploit his superior speed in penetrating the opponent’s back line, supported by captain Riyad Mahrez as a right winger who possesses experience in decisive passes, along with the promising young man Adel Boulbina, who will be in charge of activating the corridor. left.
In parallel with the technical work on the field, the Algerian delegation is witnessing intense psychological work behind the scenes, focusing on holding closed and individual meetings with the players to quickly extract them from the impact of the previous result, and transforming the current pressure into an incentive to provide a strong reaction and levels worthy of the national team, amid collective pledges from the players to tactical discipline and fight on the field to achieve victory and ensure crossing points.
