Algeria’s striker Ghezal keen to score against Egypt

Siena's striker and Algeria’s international player Abdelkader Ghezal said he hopes to score goals in Sunday’s World cup qualifying match against Egypt. “It will be a normal match and the Algerian players have enough capacities to win,” he told Echorouk in an interview.

• How is your psychological state 24 hours before the match?
• Thank Allah, everything is ok. We are doing well and we just hope to do our best to cheer up the Algerian people.
• Do you think that your training in France was enough to prepare you for victory?
• It was a successful training. Honestly, I do not think that there is a squad which does not want to make such preparations.
• Do you think that you will be under pressure in Sunday’s match?
• As far as I am concerned, I do not care about the pressure put by supporters or media. I know that I will forget everything once I enter Tchaker stadium in Blida (70 km west of Algiers).
•   
• How do you expect the match will be?
• It is a derby match and it will be very difficult. I think the individual skills are the key for victory and that will make the difference.
• The Egyptian goalkeeper Isam El Hadri is famous. Have you ever watched him playing?
• Yes. I think any goalkeeper can fail to receive the ball whatever his level. We will try to create problems in the Egyptian defence and why not scoring goals as much as we can. That would help us to win the match.
• What do you promise the national squad’s supporters ?
• First of all, I want our supporters to stand by our side since the first minute of the match until the end. Secondly, I hope to score goals and offer the victory to the Algerian people.
