Mastel and Ramadan were not convinced, and Belazouk is outside the field of experimentation
If the Algerians turned the world around and did not stop it in the World Cup, when they received nine goals in four matches, including a hat-trick from the brilliant football era Lionel Messi, and the rest from the World Cup teams, Zidane had a hat-trick in three matches and Ben Bout had a hat-trick in one match, then they received a quartet of naive goals in three matches in the last wait, most of them on their home soil and all of them against modest teams whose goal is to participate in the African Cup for the sake of participation, and do not dream. Not participating in the World Cup.
The reason is not only the defensive system, but also the goalkeeping position, which has remained in the auction since the passing of the legend, Rais Mbolhi. Every time they call for help, goalkeepers fail, as happened with the duo Mastil and Ramadan. Unfortunately, the Greens are looking for goalkeepers even from the lower levels in Europe, including Rennes goalkeeper Belazouk, who usually plays for the reserve team of a team that is not one of the football powers in France, while the local goalkeepers always demonstrate their mediocrity, and the last one to shine in the Greens’ den was among the local goalkeepers, Ounass Kaououi, whose position has evaporated since Fawzi Chaouchi’s brilliance in Omdurman and playing a match. Historically, when Chaouchi made a mistake against Slovenia in the World Cup, Mbolhi replaced him, the goalkeeper who stayed with the Greens for more than 12 years, and participated in all the major victories from qualifying to the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Brazil, and winning the African Cup of Nations in Egypt, to winning the Arab Cup in Qatar. As a goalkeeper, he contributed to all these victories even though he never played with strong European teams, but he was always strong with the Greens.
The new technical staff seemed to lean towards the active goalkeeper in the weak Swiss league, Mastel, and played him in two matches, and every ball that reached his goal landed in his net, and he endured some mistakes, and the followers did not remember him making any important saves, and in the third match, the Mouloudia goalkeeper Ramadan played against a weak attack from Niger, and he bore the burden of Niger’s first goal, and he also did not make any interventions that suggested that we were facing the goalkeeper of the future of the Greens, while Belazouk remained warming the bench and may not be called up in the future.
If the technical staff promised to open a goalkeeping workshop, and promised to solve the problem, then it is certain that the work of the workshop has not yet begun, and we may not find any of the three goalkeepers who participated in the last training session, the November training session, and the two matches against Togo, home and away.
The search for an excellent and essential goalkeeper is hopeless, as he does not exist in the first place. Hamdani and Antar Yahya may return to Luca Zidane, Ben Bout, and Alexis Kunduz. At least they had experience in the African continent, and we may find them in the next hunt under the slogan “Mujabr is your brother… no hero.”
