A standing ovation to protect

After being appointed head of the dying national team on August 219 and chaining failures, Belmadi announced that his first goal was to win the scheduled CAN 2019 in Egypt within a year.

It was a dream come true in Algeria, where many analysts described the coach as “flamboyant”. On July 19, 2019, the team lifted the African trophy, the second in its history and the first in three decades.

In fact, Jamel Belmadi has not publicly stated that he will go on to win the World Cup in Qatar. He and his team maintain their standing and try to go as far as possible in this competition. EN did not lose 27 matches as they faced world-class rivals (Colombia, Mexico, Ivory Coast, Nigeria). Renowned technicians such as former Germany coach Joachim Loo have ranked her among the best in the world.

However, he knew that the task would not be easy and that his team would look forward to it. “In most high-level competitions, it is always difficult to chain titles. We have all seen what happened to current world champions France in Euro 2020, when she was eliminated in the 16th round. He exclaimed.

Above all, he does not underestimate the two thumbs of Pool E. “It’s clearly a big African, a group with Ivory Coast. It’s a very strong team and a team that needs no contact. We faced them in the CAN 2019 quarter – finals and everyone watched the game. But you should know that there are no more small teams in Africa. It will always be a surprise. We have to be ready and vigilant, ”he warned.

In addition to the quality of his rivals, Belmadi may face another problem next winter. EN is made up of players who play in European Championships and work hard to keep their clubs in Cameroon for almost a month (January 9 to February 6). Returning from CAN, they risk losing their places in their clubs, which could have an impact on performance on African soil.
