THE BALL – Algeria players were punished after surprising defeat (CAN)

By many touted as one of the favorites to win the CAN-2021, Algeria is having a disappointing campaign and, after two rounds, has only one point, resulting from a goalless draw with Sierra Leone.

On Sunday, the Algerians were surprised and defeated by Equatorial Guinea, by 0-1, being in very bad shape for the discussion of qualification for the round of 16.

In the aftermath of the defeat, the Algerian press reveals that Djamel Belmadi, coach of Mahrez and company, did not spare the players and forced them to a very long training session lasting three hours. Only the holders of the game with the Guineans were ‘spared’ and were able to shower after two hours.

In the third and final round, Algeria is obliged to beat Côte d’Ivoire to qualify.
