A former Blue said he was surprised by the attitude of the Algerians for their entry into the CAN.
Algeria was hooked for its CAN debut on Monday evening. In Bouaké, and after a lackluster performance, she had to share the honors with Angola (1-1). An average match and which gave the Fennecs acid criticism. Emanating from the country, but not only. In France too, we did not hesitate to take them down.
“Mahrez not responsible for Algeria’s ills”
A former French international also took it upon himself to remind Belmadi and his men what humility is. This is Mickaël Ciani, the recently retired defender who is on site in Ivory Coast as a supervisor.
Speaking to RMC Sport, the former Bordeaux player declared: ” What is the solution ? Because it’s all well and good to say that Riyad Mahrez is not in good shape. But who are his replacements? Nothing says that it will perform better with another system. It’s a question of generation. Algeria sees itself as too beautiful, sincerely.”
Ciani continued by defending Mahrez, whose Algerian fans are demanding to be sidelined: “We expect a lot from him, whether he is a leader or makes the differences, they say he had a bad match.”
Algeria will have the opportunity to make up for it on Saturday against Burkina Faso. On the other hand, another hitch against the Stallions, who have just beaten Mauritania (1-0), and they will be ready for an express return home.
