    Why does a big game involving Algeria always seem to involve Bina Faso well it’s happening once again the fifth installment of The Chronicles of Algeria against Bina Faso today we’re looking ahead to algeria’s second game at the con 2023 as Algeria take on Bina Faso once again in the Bui Stadium a

    Fantastic field no complaints about the pitch this time as there were at the last cup in Cameroon that duala pitch was an absolute bloody potato field so we can’t use that excuse this time although we’ve got plenty of other excuses lined up such as the fact that

    It’s a 2:00 kickoff we’re playing in the heat but I’m not falling for that one uh hello it’s boiling hot for both teams so that’s not going to work with me so Saturday afternoon 2:00 p.m. Algeria bikini Faso in group D we thought it was

    Going to be a walk in the park when the draw was made but once again here we find ourselves having to I I wouldn’t say it’s a must-win I’d say it’s a must not lose but it’s not necessarily a must win we’ve seen in previous games such as

    The Egypt situation the Ghana situation they both failed to win their opening two games and still have their Destiny in their o own hands that’ll be the same for Algeria even if we failed to win against Bina Faso even if we lost God forbid to Bina Faso it doesn’t mean

    We’re out of the competition it just means all roads lead to beating morania on Match day three but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it I’d like to talk about recent games against Bina Faso they do um bring back a lot of memories a lot of good memories I

    Remember being at at College uh late 2013 to to go to the World Cup in Brazil we drew bikina Faso again we were like get in it’s going to be really easy I remember Egypt had Garner and lost 61 rer Bina Faso we lost 3-2 um in Bina

    Faso Bina Faso had two penalties in that game one they scored one they missed both were never up pen um fuli scored in that game we won the return leg one nil I’m sure you remember it’s 11 years ago now that’s Bonkers FY gulan put in a

    Ball madid buera stumped the ball it wasn’t the prettiest of goals but we went mental we won on away goals we went to the World Cup in Brazil and then even for the Qatari World Cup before all the madness with gasam and Cameroon and all that nonsense we actually had to play

    Bina Faso twice home and away in the qualifying group and we actually Drew both games we drew 2-2 and 1-1 and Sophia and fuli scored in both of those games so for me although you could say it’s a bit irrelevant and he’s not as attacking as he once was in terms of the

    Mentality I think Bina FASA seems to be a bit of a bogey team but players always have teams that they seem to score against and I think you start sopan fuli just because of how good his goal record is against Bina Faso and a lot of those

    Players if they see him running at goal will be worried mentally so for me I’d start fori that’s not the only reason we’ll come to that when we talk about what team should Algeria St the good news is muhamad Amura is available for selection once again he missed the first

    Game through suspension because of the yellow cards in qualifying that of course coincided with Amy grey having to withdraw from the squad even before the pre-tournament friendlies had began so particularly that leftand side was already at a disadvantage you’d suspect Amora comes into the team for the second

    Game but when you look at the attack ble done okay I thought he did okay um not amazing but not terrible of course bua just scored a cracking volley an even better bicycle kick that was disallowed both those players came off because of the Heat and they were tired not because

    Of their performance so the actual weak Link in the front three was Mar is but we all know as much as many people watching this video don’t want Riad to start the game he is going to start the game he’s going to start rightwing and he’s going to start Captain as he always

    Has done whether he’s played a 10 out of 10 or dropped an absolute stinker he’s the captain he’s going to play the same way if fit Salah will play for Egypt mané will play for senal and Zs will play for Morocco it’s the same situation so doesn’t matter if you don’t want him

    In and what it’s wor if I do he will play so maros takes the right and then you’re thinking well how do you drop buun after he scores and does that you can’t slamman won’t come in he did nothing when he came on so Baghdad keeps

    The place do you play Amur on the left it seems like it’s the only position in that system but again it would be harsh on ble he got an assist and he nearly scored himself so what seems to be happening is that bamari can’t drop any

    Of that front free of ble bu or morz so what he has to do if he wants to get a Mor in that team is change the system so I’d expect him to actually really tweak it and go 442 whether that be with Amora just behind Baghdad whether that be with

    The two up there with Baghdad and Amora belele left mid MZ right mid the two Center mids have to be very defensively disciplined and that’s why i’ say an experience fuli with a hhen buwi or a zeroi in there would be fantastic listen we’re not talking about Bena because as

    Far as I’m concerned B M’s been made the scapegoat for not subbing him off but ultimately for me B balb let the nation down he let the nation down he kicked the Giza for no reason there was no danger it’s not like he stopped a goal

    And quite frankly he was lucky to St on the pitch so I’m sorry nbil you let the nation down mate so for me Ben talb comes out um Bassa looks Rusty we know how good he is but again another player on the booking so if either of those

    Players got booked in this game they’d Miss morania and morania is a much more winnable game with respect than the Bina Faso game so mandrea will play in goal a Nory will play left back Ben Saban and Mandy will be the two Center halfes although you could put bade in there if

    You wanted a more physical presence of course Ben Saban has also got a yellow card in that first game Kela breze so booking for him he is morania right back wouldn’t put it past B putting vanen kirkov in there or orun or whatever he’s called today I think atal could come out

    He’s far too attacking you can’t afford that against Bina Faso you can get away with it against Angola and morania but going forwards great leaves a massive Gap back there so for me vanen kirov in there tell him to stay back eight Nori that little triangle the eight Nori and

    Ble and Basu was great but defensively it’s not great and bikina FASA going the other way are going to be far more threatening than Angola and mean Angola posed no threat and still drw and scored and that’s from our own doing an early Eid present we can’t afford to be doing

    Stuff like that again lad so I’m really Keen to not make comparisons with this game and the second group game last time against Equatorial Guinea where we also went into that game of a point thinking we were going to win and we lost and ultimately that cost us the tournament

    Bina Faso is a much stronger opponent I think this game could well be a draw and to be honest guys if we drew this game I wouldn’t be too disappointed if we win it then winning the groups on our hands but after Bina Faso for me they still

    Got incredibly lucky a 96 minute penalty with respect again they couldn’t break down morania the only way they did was Burch and tror coming on and scoring a late pen which was a very faral decision so if it wasn’t for that decision with the VAR it would have been nil nil so

    With respect if B Faso can’t PL can’t score against morania from open Play there’s no way they should be scoring against Algeria the algerians from open Play So if be Faso score we’ve got big problems internally and and they pose a threat like I said trayor came on Dango

    Rara the Bournemouth Winger was injured is he going to make it back we’ll have to wait and see they’ve got kabore who’s the right back for Luton they’ve got some good plays in there particularly tap sober at the back who is top of the league in Germany with Leverkusen and

    Shabi Alonzo and all that goes with that off and goal is a very experienced goalkeeper listen it’s not a glamour name on paper but let’s be real in the last five afcons bikina FASA have made the semi-finals not once not twice but three times that’s more than we have

    Okay so give them the respect they deserve I’m sure B doesn’t be complacent or anything like that but maybe part of tackling Taps over’s presence and experienced defending back there is to give him both buer and Amora to think about and amora’s pace is crucial now

    Speaking of pace people W add nurse to play on that right side over MZ um if you’re going to want to drop MZ you don’t drop him for adamz I’m sorry if you if you’ve got like a really Star right winger your second best player and they’re just two players in the same

    Position I get it to go if mahrez isn’t good enough Adam wz isn’t the step up it’s the same if anything or lower and what marz offers in terms of his experience he’s played a lot of big games I think he’s still got a lot to offer in this tournament but for the

    First time in a long time it feels and it’s not for me but it feels like the tide is turning on Jamal and the belad out is sort of out weighing the belmi in now you in an afcon you got credit in the bank okay you come out in the group

    It’s shocking but because you’ve won an afcon you’re not seemed as a villain so you win one you lose one and then you’re there Camaroon is a really unique situation in that World Cup um playoff because listen we were 10 seconds from the tournament you could say the in-game

    Management cost us because we went for B fidil to come on to waste time for Sani that backfired and then you look at the in-game management in the game against Angola where badii first half he got his spot on the second half was just appalling so he should have taken off

    Ben talb or Bassa because they were both booked and at that point they both couldn’t put challenges in oh I know Ben talb still decided to whack someone’s leg but do you understand what I’m saying if Ben talb withdrawn zeroi doesn’t do that badawi doesn’t do that husse aah

    Doesn’t do that so for me they’re both elements of blame but I’m very much behind b m and I always tell anyone that says they want b m to go who are you going to put in that Dugout that’s better okay there’s no better Algerian coach so automatically you’ve got a

    Coach that’s always going to be less passionate if they’re not from the country that’s the reality Sagal have got a senales manager Morocco got a Moroccan manager Tunisia Cameroon most of the top Nations now have got local coaches and back in the day they all had foreigners so let’s give the mdy

    The respect he deserves he’s he’s one of only three coaches at this cup to have won the bloody thing he’s no mug but he thinks the media are against him I think the backlash was harsh I think people are forgetting that algeria’s first 45 against Angola was one of the

    Best 45 minutes played by any team at this tournament we should have been 3 nil up ultimately we didn’t take our chances that cost us the game you know bu times is run by a second the bicycle kick counts but Lele shot bends in a little bit more it counts it’s just the

    Way to cookie crumble sometimes that’s the way it goes so the second half was like afcon 21 the thir half was like afcon 19 so what’s the group saying so bikina Faso sit on three because of that stupid late winner it’s just going to come back to bias isn’t it Algeria and

    Angola both on one although at the moment in time we’re actually thir third because we got four yellow cards and Angola got one so that means we both on one point but Angola sits second Rania sit in bottom and they did lose abubakar Kamara AKA AK-47 if you pardon the pun

    They’re on zero so if we want to win the group we have to beat bikina bikina draw or win they’re going to win the group Algeria going to have to think about finishing second which means moving from Bui in the last 16 the group winners get

    To stay in Bui of course so what lineup would I play it’s a tough one and if it’s tough for me how tough must it be for Jamal listen mrea in goal a’t Nori Mandy babain wouldn’t be surprised if bed comes in atalo gun is closer than

    People think I mean but Mighty doesn’t trust that many players he trusted vanen kirov to come on in that in that second half and he wasn’t too bad I think because of the Heat this game is not just about the 11 this game’s going to be about 16 players we are more than

    Certainly going to use all five Subs the hour mark you might even see two or three the players are going to be knackered it’s going to be boiling it’s going to be calling breaks all over the shop mentally it affects you physically you’re tired but mentally when the concentration slips that’s when mlak

    Creeping I think the Midfield is going to be the decisive Factor here forget blaming Riyad stop blaming Riyad riad’s brought a cup home so some big calls I wouldn’t be surprised if Bassa was dropped kept him fresh from morania that’s what I would do I would put

    Badawi in fuli that’s what I would do and shyi for me has to be dropped it’s hard to not play air in a game like this because of his quality but I just feel like we can’t have an attacking mid so you have fuli and and BWI in there you

    Have ble and MZ on the wings you keep ble in there you keep Baghdad and it gives you the option to play am Mora either as a 10 or as or as a second Striker so I would go mandrea a Nori bainy Mandy vanen kirov with fulian

    Badawi again the legend of Bashar is used to the heat because of those desert temperatures Bay Mara Zamora and Baghdad that would be my side you keep Bassa fresh you keep YF alala fresh you keep husse a fresh you keep far Shi fresh you bring them all back in in sha for

    Morania where you go for the win and you go for top but listen we’ve been in this boat before and it sunk deeper than the Titanic when we had e Guinea and Sierra Leon this time it’s bikina Faso so I’m actually going to go for one one we’ve

    Seen these second group games just do all die teams need results there’s a lot of goals there’s going to be spaces there’s gaps opening up but I do think it will be a draw and uh that’ll be two points which is more the one we got last

    Time in fact it’s double and then you beat morania and with respect jelle if you can’t beat morania in game three it really is time to go son so what are you expecting from Algeria and Faso let me know in the comments down below here we go time’s running out kickoffs coming fast

    I’ll see you after the game

    1. Burkina faso have upper hand in this game coming with 3 point a point means they are close to qualification, burkina faso will be more making them feel at home due to close promixity between both countries. If algeria play the same tempo of first half into second half then it will be close march up

      I see a 2-2 draw written all over it

    2. Inshallah we just play like the First half against Angola but be much slower in tempo so we don't gas out I would start boudaoui and kevin and just wanting the win we've learnt our lesson in the past so hopefully we win tahia djzair

    3. That Mauritanian defence should not be taken lightly, and I'm keeping my expectations low for saturdays game because knowing our players even if the algerian team scored a goal the last 3 years have proved to me that belmadi and the players can't manage a 2nd half mentally or physically so I'm expecting a 2-1 victory for burkina faso or a draw.

    4. Usually i agree with you on all the line, but today i must say ounas is definitely a step up from mahrez judging by how those 2 players performed in the last game against angola…keep the good work

    5. Despite anything will happen , i see that FAF need to step up and do some work , they need to open talks with new players ( Akliouche , Olise , Cherki , Adli , Aouchiche … ) , There's a world cup in 2 yrs

    6. I do not expect major changes in the starting except Feghouli against Bentaleb. With both Feghouli and Bennacer in more defensive roles to leave space for counter attacks, especially for fresh entering Amoura in the second half. Burkina will be looking for a draw, we need to let them come forward sometimes to open them up.

    7. its going to be a draw again,belmadi is stubborn amoura wont get a minute majhez will start and ghost,and the same starting 11 will perform like shit the second half.

    8. If we draw or lose then Belmadi should be sacked immediately!!!!

      We cannot afford to settle for anything less than 3 points. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, Belmadi is not the right man for this job. This is pretty much his last chance to prove everyone wrong or he’s gone!

    9. Honestly, I don't know what to expect from this team, part of me believes that we can still go all the way and another part of me feels that we're going to f*ck it up.

    10. id keep bentaleb in the midfield, along with boudaoui and bennacer, id want a double pivot between bentaleb and boudaoui or bennacer, i still fully trust bentaleb, i have seen what he can do, and still think he can put a mighty performance, i just think he needs bennacer beside him, last game he was often isolated, chaibi never tracked back to fill the gaps and overall the team were just too complacent, im sure this complacency will disappear tomorrow considering the high level of opponent were going against

    11. Can i tell you sth. The algerian football community is silly absoluteley pessimistic and embarassing! Because of just one game wihch was JUST a draw, the people are thinking about a completeley new system, about a coach sack about our captain sack
      and thinking already that we will be out of the tourmament. Lisson. Belmadi cant do anything for the tempretures and the group. And i think we didnt play even bad against them. We were absoluteley invureable and intouchable at defense. We got many chances we went hust unlucky unlike morocco. If we lead 2 0, we would smash angola 3 0 minimum. Belmadi does mistakes i know, but the biggest reason is the social media against him and pressure.THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVES OF BELMADI. Trust me if we sack him OUR TEAM GETTING DESTROYED. The only man who knows to get a clean sheet against sengal away! Your blinders. Lets just support belmadi and his team, Lets beat burkina faso if we cant beat them why should we qualifie for a world cup? There attack is better but defense is worse than Cap verde. My attack: Bennacer Zerouuki Chaibi Amoura Mahrez Boundjah! Belaili and slimani and aouar with full enery in the end. If mahrez plays bad again, than i would play amoura right and belali left instead of mahrez after half time. Let get it! Senegal just beat cameroon 3 1 we can do thhe same
