Djamel Belmadi and Saïd Benrahma almost fought this Monday on the sidelines of Algeria’s friendly draw against Egypt (1-1).

Uninspired during the friendly match between Algeria and Egypt (1-1), this Monday in the United Arab Emirates, Saïd Benrahma did not appreciate being replaced by Houssem Aouar shortly after the hour mark.

The West Ham star did not wish to greet Djamel Belmadi, which had the gift of annoying his coach, who grabbed his collar.

Close to pulling the pin, the player and his coach first briefly stared at each other before exchanging a few words. The situation then defused and Benrahma was able to sit on the bench.

“I don’t want to talk about what happened with Saïd, he wasn’t happy and I wasn’t happy, already we can’t get away with the story of Slimani and the penalty, that’s not a debate”indicated the Algerian coach at the end of the match regarding this dispute.
