After the failure against ASS, Benzarti's team needs to play with more seriousness. Winning to stay in the lead.
The Press — Two points lost naively against ASSoliman may cost dearly in the final count. The CA, faithful to its habit of cracking under pressure at the end of the season and every time it plays for the title, does it have the mental toughness that was talked about before the match against Soliman to bounce back? The more the aspect of choice and tactics, it is clear that this club has the pressure of titles and does not know how to make a decision when there is a favorable situation. This has been going on for years. The players change, the coach changes, but this inexplicable blockage at the end of the season persists. The missed penalty by an ineffective Chaouat summarizes all the ills of CA: a penalty that could have offered a 4-point gap on EST and taken an option on the title. But on the other hand, Chamekh's teammates (who also cracked on the first occasion) gave in to fear and conceded a draw. The half-gift, offered by CSS the next day, allows them to remain leaders, but it's not a comfortable gap considering the derby of the penultimate day. For the moment, they will have to react and win against ST in an undecided derby. The CA is under enormous pressure and ST is relaxed, having nothing to lose. Benzarti, increasingly criticized for his choices, must assume his responsibility and find the best formula. Compared to the match on Wednesday, the club coach plans to make one or two changes. And the most important thing, he has toughened up the training sessions and reminded all the players of their duties. The match against Stade is, for Benzarti, the match of the season and not the derby. The three points will put pressure on EST, which will play the next day.
More creation
The monopoly of the ball, the fluidity of the transmissions, the precision of the passes in depth, that's what didn't work against ASSoliman. A repeated direct game on Chaouat that all opponents manage to neutralize. Against a ST that will play for its honor, CA must create more, vary its maneuvers. Players like Harzi, Mahmoud, if technical, can take care of this and not Zemzmi (who plays in a register that is not his) or Ait Malek, very slow and unrecognizable this season. Harzi, back, could improve the offensive phase. Up front, Benzarti should review the composition of the attacking trio. At least one of the trio Bouguerra-Khadhraoui-Chaouat. Mesmari or Kinzumbi could replace Bouguerra. As for Chaouat, not very bright lately, he still has the confidence of his coach. He remains a heavy attacker capable of scoring at the slightest opportunity. The teammates of Shili will play in front of an immense public waiting for three points and more momentum. Everything will depend on the head. Nothing is won in advance.
