“No arrogance among Algeria football squad,” says captain

Algeria’s football squad captain Yazid Mansouri is very optimistic over the qualifying match against Zambia while the players are in training in Pretoria ahead of the match.

•  
• How did the first training séance start?
•  
• It is just a séance for recovery. It is cool here and its helps to work. You know the first séance is to make muscles relaxing and to start serious preparations.
•  
• Does it mean that serious plans have not started yet?
•  
• No. I mean we have plenty of time to start tactical exercises ahead of the match. It is an opportunity for us to psychologically feel free before the match against Zambia.
•  
•  
• You feel big pressure after beating Egypt?
•  
• The victory over Egypt may have a negative impact. That’s why, we avoid stepping back and we are thinking of the future. Zambia has a strong squad. The match is difficult and our desire to come back home with a positive result makes more pressure on us.
•  
• Have you fears of arrogance after your great victory over Egypt?
•  
• I do not expect that because there is a unified desire to continue working with positivism.
