CAN 2025 – Algeria: Kebbal finally speaks
The elimination of Algeria in the quarter-finals of the CAN 2025 left traces, sporting but also human. Beaten by the Nigeria (2-0), the Fennecs saw their run come to an end despite a controlled group phase. In this context, certain individual situations raise questions, like that ofIlan Kebbalused very little during the competition.
For his first CAN, the 27-year-old winger only played 11 minutes, during a match without stakes against Equatorial Guinea. A logical frustration, but assumed with maturity.
“We come across a match against someone stronger than us. They were better, but that will allow us to learn for this summer. »
On his personal role, Kebbal remains straight:
“We would all like to be starters, it would be a lie to say the opposite. »
Without resentment towards Vladimir Petkoviche concludes lucidly:
“If the coach needs me for one or two minutes, I will try to be there. »
