Algeria completed their preparations in Togo before arriving in Côte d'Ivoire on Wednesday December 10. According to Sofiane Feghouli, their preparations have gone well. "The team worked very well and we knew why we were here in Togo. Our intention was to acclimatize, because it was very hot and very humid, so that we'd be ready. In Côte d'Ivoire, it's more or less the same climate, so we came here in difficulty so as not to be surprised when we start the competition," the Fennecs striker told the press.
He added: "Everyone is ready and, above all, everyone wants to win the competition.In any case, to be African champions, you have to be the best defender. We really have to be at the top of our game defensively. We've got quality and we're capable of scoring at any moment.
The Algerians kick off their campaign against Angola on January 15.
