When Belmadi and Benrahma almost come to blows (video)

The friendly match between Egypt and Algeria gave rise to an improbable scene this Monday.

On the sidelines of the duel between the Pharaons and the Fennecs, concluded with a score of parity in Al-Aïn, in the United Arab Emirates (1-1), the Algerian coach Djamel Belmadi clashed with one of his players.

Recalled to the bench shortly after the hour mark and the Egyptian opener, then replaced by Houssem Aouar, Saïd Benrahma did not deign to greet his coach, which had the gift of annoying the latter.

Belmadi immediately grabbed Benrahma, the two men almost coming to blows on the edge of the pitch before the 47-year-old technician released his grip and let the West Ham player sit on the bench.

At the end of the game, in front of the press, the Algerian coach wanted to play down the situation, as relayed by DZ Foot: “ What happened with Benrahma, These are things that happen, locker room things. He went out And he not’wasn’t happy, I wasn’t happy, that’s all! »
