Meaning center back in particular
After the German coach Flick, for FC Barcelona, succeeded in transforming the Brazilian Rafinha from a winger into a spearhead, and made him the top scorer in the Spanish League, he took steps by accustoming the brilliant players, Rodri and Frankie Diong, to playing in the heart of defense, in preparation for possible emergencies, due to the many injuries that befell three of the team’s star players in the back line. He may resort to this solution, which seems strange, in the awaited El Clasico match against Real Madrid, and in the European Champions League match the day before yesterday, he went out. The new spearhead, Rafinha, was left in his place by the Englishman Golden, who had never played as a spearhead. Many international coaches resort to such ideas and achieve great results with them. Billy played as a spearhead, Beckenbauer played as a playmaker, and other successful experiences. With the exception of the goalkeeping position, the rest of the positions remain valid for all players, as they are like multi-service pawns that can be moved on the field without disrupting the tactical plans.
There were attempts to change positions, made by coach Ibrahim Hamdani, but they failed, as was the case with Fares Shaybi and Imad Abdali, who got lost in their new positions with the Greens.
The first problem in the Algerian national team after the retirement of the star Issa Mandi, is the running out of central defenders, and Ramy Bensebaini will find it difficult to find someone to work alongside him in defending the Greens’ goal, which is what made specialists suggest transferring the position of Abdali or Touba to next to Ben Sebaini and keeping the experience for a long period, until harmony is achieved with a player who is strong in his physical structure and intelligence, after Samir Chergui and Zinedine Belaid demonstrated their limitations, at least in The midfield position, they were the reason for scoring goals against weak teams.
As for the attack and midfield, the coach is forced, not given the choice, to create a combination of talent and to find permanent places for some of them with the national team, so that they do not tire out on the reserve bench or ignore their call, because if he kept the players in their positions, we will see him in the two November matches not calling up Lyon star Budache and French League star Ilan Kabal, under the pretext that their positions are occupied by the duo Belloumi and Hadj Moussa, and Belmadi had played with repentance on the right defensive wing and included Petkovic also played Joan Hijam as a right defensive winger, and both experiments were successful.
The coach is a collection of ideas, and sometimes the player does not know his capabilities and the place of his authority like his coach, who is supposed to appear at every training session and appointment with new ideas, because the national team coach is completely different from the club coach. The player who excelled in September does not have to excel in November, due to technical, physical and moral factors affecting him, and vice versa, which means a complete change of ideas and plans from one appointment to another, especially since this period is known for injuries, and what happened in the Paris Saint-Germain match. Barcelona’s injury massacre is the best evidence.
