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.
Saïd Benrahma refuses to greet Belmadi after his exit and Djamel almost finished his hands with the West Ham winger.

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.
