Although qualified in second place in Group D, after a success against Sudan, Egypt does not seem cured either in its game or in its results. The Pharaohs are now reduced to the role of outsiders of this CAN. It’s quite the opposite of Nigeria, who finished first in the group by being the only team to have won their three group matches. For the last meeting against Guinea-Bissau, we were waiting for confirmation of the good impressions that the Super Eagles had left so far, and it came despite a rotation of the squad which did not affect the system. gaming or performance.
It remains to be seen on Thursday what will become of Algeria, who must win against Côte d’Ivoire or leave. The Fennecs have already scored goals before this CAN, so they can hope to find their way back to the nets. But what makes me doubt them is that it’s not about changing the game system, or the way of approaching a match, or the tactical options. All that can improve during a competition. It is much more difficult to change the psychological approach, which was not good. And unless we publicly admit that we were wrong, I think the Algerians will be in trouble.
