Technical Staff Takes Advantage of Short Break to Rotate Lineup
The Press — The arrival of Chokri Béjaoui at the helm of CAB coincided with the events that everyone knows about against the CA. In other words, a failed start on all levels. It must be acknowledged that his return to the club where he shone in the past was done in a hurry. The conditions were not at all favorable to him. The "gift" was simply poisoned! However, we will not lament this fate! We will say that disappointments are part of the past, and the short break came at the right time to allow the entire technical staff to make sure the team regains the pleasure of playing and dives back into competition with its own strengths.
Physical Condition Improves, Technical Evaluation Next
With the physical condition roughly back on track, all that remains is to evaluate the overall performance on a technical level. To do this, the CAB officials scheduled a friendly match last Friday against JSO at the 15th October Stadium. Beyond the score (1-0) in favor of CAB thanks to a goal from Momar Diop Seydi, it was the participation of almost all the players at their disposal that caught attention. Indeed, Chokri Béjaoui needed, on this occasion, to conduct a thorough review of the lineup, a way to get an idea of its intrinsic value.
Lineup Review and Player Participation
He aligned the following formation in the first half: Maktouf, Guessmi, Azib, Allala, Bougatfa, Dridi, Aymen Amri, Cissoko, Fellahi, Ayendi, and Momar Diop. Then, in the second half, while keeping Allala and Amri, he incorporated Hanzouli, Ben Othmane, Doukali, Gueblia, Mehri, Mideni, Khlifi, Meddahi, and Berrima into the game.
Timi Absent and Disciplinary Measures
Attacker Wahid Timi, who was praised at the beginning of the season, was excluded from the team by the coach for missing training sessions, according to a source close to the club. The board of directors will therefore have to take appropriate measures against the player in the coming days. Discipline is not to be taken lightly!
Zied Laâroussi Returns as Assistant Coach
Former CAB attacker Zied Laâroussi, nicknamed "El Chabbah" by Mokhtar Tlili, returns to the position of assistant coach that he left not long ago. With the experience gained during his two stints in the same position, he will certainly bring a plus to the technical staff.
Two Senegalese Players at the 15th October Stadium
The officials are still looking towards the Senegalese school, which constantly provides players who succeed at CAB. On the occasion of the match against JSO last Friday, two Senegalese players were present at the 15th October Stadium. They are an attacker and a pivot, according to our source, who are preparing to take the test for a potential recruitment. Two other compatriots are expected in the coming hours for the same test. Let's hope the choice is judicious.
