Algeria is making steady progress towards the AFCON 2023. After their 5-1 victory over Cape Verde, the Fennecs will conclude this international window by facing Egypt. In his pre-match press conference on Sunday, October 15, coach Djamel Belmadi was keen to erase the disappointment of Cameroon's group-stage elimination. "Things didn't go our way during the last Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. We were eliminated in the first round, which was a big disappointment for us. In any case, we have great ambitions to achieve good results in Côte d'Ivoire," said the Algerian coach.
As for the opposition against the Pharaohs, Djamel Belmadi expects a very tough match."It's going to be an interesting, hard-fought match between two brotherly countries.These two nations haven't met for a long time.I think it's going to be a good match between two quality teams," said Belmadi. It's a derby match. Indeed, meetings between these two countries have always been hotly contested, with a lot of intensity too. So I'm expecting a great match.
