Djamel Belmadi was satisfied with the performance of his players against Nigeria after the 1-0 friendly victory, he spoke at a post-match press conference.
« The new players played released as I wanted. They have fully shown their qualities », Began the coach of the Fennecs.
Regarding midfield, Djamel Belmadi will say: ” I really appreciated the fact that I gave other players the opportunity to play, it is my great satisfaction. I think of Mehdi Abeid and Haris Belkebla who did a job at the heart of the huge game of pressing and harassment. They responded to the physical challenge. »
Having made many changes to his eleven, the national coach assessed the performance of his attackers: ” Then, Said Benrahma, he missed the goal today. He was very visible especially in his second half. A bit messy at times, but overall very punchy and dangerous. He doesn’t miss much. Andy Delort, he has already played away a lot in games that are not easy. He had a very big game, he harassed the defenders, he was only missing the goal, that’s what I told him. Farid Boulaya was very interesting to me today. »
Finally, concerning Réda Halaïmia and Alexandre Oukidja, Djamel Belmadi said: “ Réda Halaïmia had a slightly delicate first half in the use of the ball and not in the defensive aspect but which in the second half raised the level. It’s a bit normal because of the pressure. We tried to calm him down in this game. Overall very satisfied with our players. Alexandre Oukidja didn’t have much to do, but on what he had to do, he did very well. »
