This guy is actually useless, he isn't trying to implement any plan or style of play.
He's just copying what Petkovic was doing while changing the players and hoping that gets some results, there's no improvement, no identity, NOTHING.
Hamdani, Antar, Moussa, and their staff all need to go, bring someone who knows what he's doing.
Get that fraud hamdani and his entourage out of here man. 💀💀💀
I've been saying this for ages, Radouani and abada have no business being in the team.
Abada got dribbled like a rookie multiple times in 1v1 situations, radouani can't make a simple pass and killed the attacks multiple times, losing the ball in dangerous situations on many occasions.
Chaibi is NOT a CDM, is NOT a LW, he's a CM, and he is an 8 or 10, not a 6 ffs. Bensaibini, what was that on the second goal.
Not a single built or nicely created opportunity for amine Chiakha, who once again can't do anything If he doesn't get the damn ball.
If I see Radouani and Abada in the next window/list, who this guy gave an opportunity ahead of Nair and Touba, I'm genuinely crashing the fuck out.
Our league has ZERO good players right now, they DON'T have the level for international football, and the guys saying otherwise need to get their heads checked, a league ranked below the French 2nd division, Ligue 2, and people talk like we have Manchester derby and el classico level of games each time.
"local players are undervalued" my ass.

It could be someone transmigrating into yang Kai, time traveling yang Kai or the likes.
Fanfics with different MCs just don't hit home, been a while since I finished martial peak and thought maybe someone wrote an interesting story. Ideally, I'd prefer if said story had a decent amount of chapters, if it's something not updated for 3 or 4 years there's no point.
It's fine if it's in Chinese or any language, nowadays it's easy to use AI to translate with the right prompt.
As the title says, according to RadioAlgerie, the national radio station, the FAF renewed trust in Petkovic after he refused the 6 months severance payment that clown Sadi offered and demanded his full 5M euros payment.
As the title says, do you guys want to win against Austria then play Spain and see where that goes, or draw and go into R32 at the 3rd place and have a much more favourable matchup.
For my part, I say we win, and see where the Spain game takes us. We have the players, they just need to put some heart into it. Spain couldn't beat cape Verde, Portugal couldn't beat DR congo, England couldn't beat Ghana, so why are we always scared of facing big teams.
The way they played against Argentina is exactly the reason why we always lose these kinds of games, the underdog should go in as the more fired up team looking to make an upset, not as a scared team that doesn't dare make a single tackle on Messi.
I Won't go into too much details, but following what I saw against Argentina, this is how we should line up from now on.
​
Mandi, Bensabaini and Bentaleb should never be allowed into a starting 11 from now on, allowing Messi all that space is on them and no one else.
​
Boudaoui is clearly not in form following his concussion, man looked like a tourist in that game.
​
Therefore, Titraoui when we want to go on offense, and Zerrouki when we're planning to strengthen the defence should be the starting duo from now on.
Look at it. One shot in 45 minutes despite having most of the possession. Endless sideways passing, endless recycling of the ball, and almost zero intent to actually attack the box. You have Ronaldo up front and somehow the game plan is to avoid playing early balls into him and keep passing backwards.
​
And before people start blaming Ronaldo, what exactly is he supposed to do? Score goals out of thin air? A striker can't finish chances that are never created.
​
This isn't prime France or Argentina they're facing. This is DR Congo, yet Portugal played like a team terrified of taking risks. So much talent on the pitch, yet the attacking patterns are completely lifeless.
​
Possession means nothing when all it produces is one shot in an entire half. Absolute waste of a golden generation.
First 20 minutes give you blood pressure, the 25 after were much better, less positional mistakes leading to easily breakable lines, less lost ball, better ball recovery.
Amoura is undeniably the best player in the first half, was a nightmare for the Netherlands defence. Gouiri and Mahrez weren't that good offensively, but were both defensively sound, except for that one Mahrez lost ball that led to the offside goal.
Zerrouki playing up was actually smart, looked a lot better than he used to in a duo with Bentaleb, made some recuperations in Netherlands half, and had very good positioning overall.
Bentaleb made some mistakes, he needs to do better. Belaid and Abada looked a bit lost and made some mistakes, their lack experience of matches on this scale looked evident.
Mandi made a few costly mistakes, but Zidane was on point, he looks used to Bensabaini at his side.
Only difference between me and Aouar is that Aouar got to watch the match in first person mode, while I watched it in 3rd person, man was as useless as you can be.
Zidane is undisputed as number 1 btw and I won't even accept debates.
Overall, I quite like what I saw, obviously we can do a lot better, but for a friendly where the coach is obviously trying different tactics and different player positions, we could be a lot worse.
Rankings for the first half:
first half tops: Amoura, Zidane, Zerrouki.
First half flops: Mandi, Bentaleb, **Aouar**, Belaid.
Neutral: Gouiri, Mahrez, Ait-Nouri, Abada.
A month until the World Cup, and our second friendly is still not finalized. The teams we negotiated with ran into visa issues with the USA, so we're left with no options.
