Mehdi Lahcen to Echorouk: “We will show good performance before Irelandâ€
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.
Â
- You seem in a good health situation.
- 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.
- How can you describe Crans Montana training camp?
- I think things went good although injuries dominated the team, but we worked hard throughout this period and the training camp was excellent.
- 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.
- 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.
- How do you expect the match against Ireland?
- 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.
- will you play in a basic position?
- 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.
- What is your opinion about the coach decision to put Megheni out?
- 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.
- What did he say?
- He was very upset, but he asserted that there is a Spanish doctor called Guoach, and he will conduct his surgical operation in Spain.
- Did your club Santander received offers by other clubs wishing to sign you?
- 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.
