Algeria coach, Djamel Belmadi has come out to react to Algeria’s exit from the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. He recently had his say while he was speaking with the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, their shocking exit is nothing but a complete failure because the team was 100 prepared for the tournament.
Djamel added that Algeria definitely wanted to defend their title in Cameroon, but it wasn’t meant to be.
His words, “We prepared 100 per cent for this competition. We wanted to defend our title. We did not get what we were looking for. It’s a total failure.”
“Nothing came together as we would have liked. I’m not going to talk about problems right now. Perhaps a lack of freshness linked to many things.”
“Ivory Coast proved to be better than us tonight. They were effective and gave their all. We lacked efficiency. They were precise upfront. This is what we missed in this AFCON.”
“Talking about a crisis may not be appropriate. We failed, yes. We did in three games what we haven’t had in three years. This feeling of defeat is bitter, even detestable.”
“We are in doubt. We will have to analyse this and get back for the March break. A World Cup is not anything. We will have to work now.”
