Back to Normal Training Schedule...

La Presse - Given the intense competition schedule, the technical staff had to resort to a rotation to keep the players competitive, at least physically. We saw this last Thursday against OB, with a "yellow and black" formation that was almost completely remade. In fact, the usual starting lineup was missing, including Guesmi, Doukali, Kchok, Dridi, and Chihi.

However, their substitutes, Amamou, Aymen Amri, Midani, or Fellahi, did not disappoint. They showed great technical skills and will certainly bring what is expected of them in the upcoming matches. Against ASM, it will be necessary to return to the starting lineup and regain the aggressiveness that was forgotten in the locker room against the "Storks" if we hope to erase the defeat from last week. In this situation, CAB needs to regain confidence in its abilities to finish the championship in an honorable ranking and prepare for the quarterfinals of the Cup in favorable conditions. Boosting morale will necessarily pass through a victory against the Marsouins. "We have rotated the squad because the match schedule has become infernal. Some players who have given a lot of effort in recent times have been spared to avoid potential injuries. Against ASM, our goal is to regain victory," said the assistant coach Fakhreddine Jaziri calmly after Béja's defeat.

The freshest physically...

The multiplication of matches in a short period of time does not help to stabilize a team in general. At CAB, the changes in the lineup are constant in this period. On this occasion, the technical staff has its entire squad at its disposal, but it must juggle the situation to line up the players who are the freshest physically and most likely to achieve a positive result. There is a good chance that Guesmi will return to his right-back position and Doukali (or Kchok) will regain the central axis of the defense. In midfield, Fonseca will be reinstated alongside Dridi, replacing him last Thursday, while Cissoko and Nourani (or Chaabane) will play in a more advanced position to provide decisive passes to their teammates in the attack, Momar Diop (or Ayendi) and Chihi.

As for Midani, Amri, Glu, Issa Kane, and the others, they are solutions in reserve during the match...
