Since a stormy friendly match at the Stade de France in 2001, which was not completed, France and Algeria have no longer crossed paths. However, the idea of organizing a new friendly between the two nations has recently returned to the debate. “Facing the finalists of the last World Cup, one of the best teams in the world… We want to play against the best. By going to play in Senegal (in a friendly match on Tuesday in Dakar, editor’s note), we are not looking for ease. Playing against France yes… there are a lot of dual nationals, we all have a link with France. It’s a match that many would like to see one day.had also explained Djamel Belmadi, the Algerian coach.
In front of the press before facing Germany on Tuesday evening (8:45 p.m.), Didier Deschamps was questioned on this subject. “It’s not me who decides on friendly matches. If there is the possibility of doing so, that would be a good thing. But it’s not my responsibility. I have no worries about having to play a match like that.”, explained the Blues coach. It will now be necessary to reach an agreement between the two federations.
