Algeria beat Bolivia 3-2 in a friendly on Friday March 22. Back in the national team after 26 months on the sidelines, Yacine Brahimi was in the starting line-up and provided an assist. The 2019 African champion also wore the captain's armband in the absence of Riyad Mahrez. The former Rennes player is savoring the moment. "It's a great honor for me, especially after more than two years away from the national team. So hamdoullah, I'm happy and I hope to continue like this. For us, the most important thing today was to get back to winning. It was to win. The only thing on our minds was to win, win, win. I think we had a very, very good first half. Then we had a bit of a slump, but our motivation remained intact, we didn't give up and we managed to win the game."
Yacine Brahimi also had a kind message for Riyad Mahrez: " Today the coach gave me the armband, but I'm not the only captain. Riyad Mahrez isn't with us, but he's still the captain of the team. It's not important, it doesn't change me as a person, I'm always there to push, to motivate with or without".
