On Saturday, the coach of the first national football team, Vladimir Petkovic, held a press conference during which he announced the team’s list to participate in the 2025 African Cup.
Petkovic summoned 28 players to attend Cannes, Morocco, scheduled to start on December 21.
The national reserve team’s quartet, Adel Boulbena, Radwan Barkan, Youssef Atal and Mohamed El Amin Togay, topped the list of the Greens.
The Bosnian coach showed great flexibility in explaining his options to the national media during the press conference.
The most important statements of coach Petkovic
“I promise the Algerian people that we will do our best to honor them in Morocco.”
“We will look for victory in every match. We have to go step by step, and my goal is to reach the furthest possible point in the African Cup.”
“Next Friday we will travel to Morocco.”
“We are the favorites against Sudan, but we have to prove it on the field.”
“The training sessions that precede the matches will be at five o’clock, except on the eve of the first match.”
“I watched the UAE match in the Arab Cup, and I was looking forward to the reserve team qualifying for the semi-finals.”
“Togay and Atal participated in the Arab Cup to get more time in the competition, and we achieved the desired goal of preparing them for the African Cup.”
“I am happy with what Tugay and Atal did with the national reserve team.”
“Boulbena and Berkane will discover a competition that will allow them to gain the necessary experience with the first national team.”
“I will closely follow the potential of the duo Boulbena and Berkane, as they have the same chances as the rest of the 26 players present.”
“I only summoned the names that were on the expanded list (55 players).”
“Boulbena has different technical characteristics than the current players in the group. He is always looking to move forward and bypass defenders, and he is also looking to score every time.”
“Excluding Ben Taleb and Hammad Abdali is a purely technical choice. The summoned elements provided more guarantees in the midfield.”
“I cannot exclude players like Aouar, Maza, or Boudaoui to include Bentaleb and Abdali.”
“We will make the decision to appoint the main goalkeeper for the Sudan match two or three days before the match.”
“We have three goalkeepers with different technical capabilities, but they are fully prepared to compete.”
“The Mandria option is useful at the sporting level at the present time. He is a player who has previously played many matches with the first team.”
