Algerian coach Rabah Saadane braces for the match versus Egypt
“We don’t change a winning team†. It seems that the Algerian head coach Rabah Saadane has made of this motto one of his principles; as he decided to, call up the same players who faced the Rwandans to play Egypt in a decisive match next November in Cairo stadium.

Talking yesterday to “Echourok” , Saadane has indicated “ My trust in the group that played versus Rwanda didn’t wane and I will call on the same players if we do not register injuries”.

He also revealed that he will probably select more than 22 players for the upcoming training camp “ I may call up more than 22 players before the match versus Egypt to fend off any bad surprise , especially that the match s decisive and cannot afford the least mistake”.

Declining to give further details about the upcoming preparations pending the match, Rabah Saadane has noted “ We didn’t select the location for the training camp so far, it could be somewhere in France or in Algeria, the most important thing is to put the players under the best conditions away from pressure, not the location”.

“Some media are trying to destabilize us before the match versus Egypt, this is unacceptable, at a time where everybody pushes ahead the Egyptian squad to beat the Algerian squad, in Algeria some media professionals are doing just the opposite, though I have declared that my trust on my staff is unflagging” he added.

The coach came back to the scandalous refereeing during the match versus Rwanda “ If not the mediocrity of the Guinean referee ‘Yakuba” we could have won with a large score that would give us a great margin before the move to Egypt”.
