Mehdi Lahcen to Echorouk: “We will show good performance before Ireland”

Algerian coach Rabah Saadane said he is an intelligent and struggling player who seeks to book a basic place in the squad through showing good performance during the match against Ireland.

 

• Echorouk: You seem in a good health situation.
•  
• Mehdi Lahcen: I think that I am better than ever. I trained with my team and I am ready to play the match against Ireland in order to be sure.
•  
• Echorouk: How can you describe Crans Montana training camp?
•  
• Mehdi Lahcen: I think things went good although injuries dominated the team, but we worked hard throughout this period and the training camp was excellent.
•  
• Echorouk: Coach Rabah Saadane said that you were able to conduct your injury successfully, and here you are qualified to play against Ireland after you refused the adventure earlier.
•  
• Mehdi Lahcen: I worked hard, and I already said that I am excited to participate in this match and the opportunity now is favourable. I will show a good performance.
•  
• Echorouk: How do you expect the match against Ireland?
•  
• Mehdi Lahcen: The result is not important. It is just a friendly match. For us we have to prepare and show a performance worth Algeria’s team. We must achieve harmony and focus.
•  
• Echorouk: will you play in a basic position?
•  
• Mehdi Lahcen: I do not know what the coach will decide, he refuses to adventure me, but I think I am ready and we will wait for the last trainings for a clearer vision.
•  
• Echorouk: What is your opinion about the coach decision to put Megheni out?
•  
• Mehdi Lahcen: I am sorry for him, especially since he was motivated by a strong desire to participate in the World Cup, but the medical and technical staff decided to put him out of competition and it was a difficult moment for him. I spoke to him and told him that I am ready to help him.
•  
• Echorouk: What did he say?
•  
• Mehdi Lahcen: He was very upset, but he asserted that there is a Spanish doctor called Guoach, and he will conduct his surgical operation in Spain.
• Echorouk: Did your club Santander received offers by other clubs wishing to sign you?
•  

• Mehdi Lahcen: I do not know about it. I am with Algeria’s team and I have to focus on the World Cup. We will speak later about my transfers.
