While his group must play two friendly matches during this international window, Madjid Bougherra, the coach of the Fennecs U23 is far from being satisfied with the level displayed by his players, a few months before the CHAN 2023 in Algeria.
Like their elders in the first team of Algeria, the Fennecs U23 play two friendly matches during this international window. Madjid Bougherra's protégés will face Nigeria this Friday, September 23 in Constantine, and then Sudan on Thursday, September 29 in Oran. In preparation, the U23 Greens, are, according to their coach Madjid Bougherra, far from being at the level.
"I am worried and not happy with the level of some players. This can be explained by the load undergone during the off-season preparation for some players, but for others, I find that their level is worrying. Moreover, I told them frankly that they will have to work more in their clubs for the next CHAN in Algeria, " said the former Algerian defender to the TV channel of the Algerian Football Federation (FAF).
The 39-year-old technician has also declined his work program until the final phase in early 2023. "During the next three months, we will schedule trips to some wilayas of the country. We have an international approach in the choice of players, based on quality and especially experience to find a better homogeneity between players, " said the former captain of the Greens, before concluding about the synergy between the different national teams.
"The objective of the A' team is to feed the first team and this is precisely the case of the goalkeeper Chaal who has just integrated the group of the Greens following the injury of Mandrea. We also work in collaboration with the technical staffs of the U20 and U23 who are also preparing for important events such as the African Cup of Nations in their categories, "concluded Madjid Bougherra.
