It is shameful what happened on Friday at stadium 1is-November after the defeat by 3 to 0 against the CRB which will remain etched forever in the history of the Kabyle club which continues to concede heavy defeats against its pet peeve.
It was predictable this bad start to the season for the Yellow and Green since the supporters had sounded the alarm bells during the summer transfer window following the departure of some executives and the strengthening of the workforce by unknown players and divisions lower. After the two draws against CABBA and MCO respectively, Hamroune’s comrades were forced to win their first victory of the season, but, unfortunately, they were beaten on their ground by the CRB who inflicted them a heavy defeat (3-0). The team’s performance left everyone speechless. No game background and errors in spades. In defense, to mention only this compartment, the team was very feverish where many individual errors and marking were made by Tizi-Bouali and Co. Three clear situations were enough for the visitors to score the three goals of victory. In attack too, the situation leaves something to be desired, the attackers were completely absent and did not worry at any time the goalkeeper Moussaoui. Neither Hamroune, yet experienced, nor Fellahi, nor Al Tubal and Bensayeh incorporated during the meeting could not make the difference. Tactically, JSK did not demonstrate anything and CRB dominated the debates from start to finish and played in an anarchic fashion as they were the first team to have started the offseason preparation. Observers wonder about the work done during four months of preparation. It is a team, to say the least, transparent that Bouzidi presented and with which he failed to win his first match. After such a catastrophic start to the season, tactical solutions are needed and the JSK must relearn how to play football.
Playing with 2 stoppers, a mistake
While it was one of the strengths of the team during the last two seasons, the defensive compartment is no longer reassuring, especially after the departure of former captain Nabil Saâdou. After having managed the team’s first two outings against CABBA and MCO where it did not concede a single goal, the Yellow and Green defense proved its limits on Friday taking three goals. The central hinge made up of Tizi-Bouali and Souyad has been overtaken by events. The two players play in the same position and are both stoppers. The absence of a true libero capable of providing cover was fatal in the face of effective attackers. The first goal came following a blunder made by Tizi-Bouali, on the second achievement, the axis of the defense missed the plate where Sayoud was left without cover. This is also the case on the third goal scored by Tabti who found himself alone against Benbot. Worse still, the defenders made mistakes and mistakes of beginners, luckily goalkeeper Benbot saved his team with no less than three goals, otherwise …
El Orfi’s late entry in the middle
In the midfield and despite the presence of experienced players such as Benchaïra, Raïah and Bounoua, this did not prevent the CRB from imposing its game and dominating the debates. A lot of space was left between the defense and the midfielder, which made it easier for the Belouizdadis. Many balls were also lost in the middle of the field by Raïah’s comrades and even the revival and the animation of the game were completely absent during this part. Bounoua who remained on an excellent match against the MCO, could not confirm and completely missed his subject. This is also the case of Mohamed Benchaïra. Despite his efforts, the latter was very bad in the recovery. The incorporation of young El Orfi in the second half brought a plus, despite the heavy defeat. He did better than the holders to the point where he almost scored twice.
The attack is the disaster
The offensive line of the Canaries of Djurdjura did nothing last Friday against CRB. Aligned from the start, the three attackers, in this case, Hamroune, Fellahi and Al Tubal did not at any time worry the goalkeeper Moussaoui who spent a quiet afternoon. After three games, the JSK attack did not score any goals. The changes made by Bouzidi who called on Kaddour-Chérif, Aguieb and Bensayah in the second half did nothing. Despite the work of the technical staff during the week which was focused on efficiency, no dangerous action was created during the 90 minutes. The two wing strikers, Al Tubal and Fellahi, were just a shadow of themselves and Hamroune who was converted into a leading striker couldn’t do anything on his own as he was not shot. Club managers must recruit a good striker, a goal hunter during the next winter transfer window in order to solve this big problem.
