Little Hope for Zliza to End Result Crisis
The Zliza team, led by Abdelkader Chouaya, has little hope of ending their deep result crisis against Stadistes, who are under pressure to return to the top spot.
Financial Crisis and Poor Performance
In addition to the financial crisis, the Zliza team is facing a record number of poor performances and injured players, making their situation even more desperate. With only 9 points in 14 matches and currently in last place, the team's management and staff are struggling to find a way out of this difficult situation. Even the last match of the first phase does not bring much hope.
Coach Skander Kasri's Realistic Assessment
Coach Skander Kasri is trying to be realistic, despite the team's 1-1 draw in a friendly match against ESZ. "We would need to play a great game to win at the Stade du Bardo, where our opponents, led by Noureddine Farhati, are unbeaten this season. Although we have started to recover some of our injured players, such as Yassine Mizouni, Oussama Neffati, and Rayan Yaâkoubi, we will need time to get our entire team back to the same level of physical fitness, which is a key factor in achieving technical and tactical success."
Winter Break: A Chance to Recover
Kasri believes that it will only be during the long winter break that they will be able to address the significant gap that has led to their poor performance in the first phase. "I'm not too optimistic about our chances in the match against ST, given our current problems. However, in football, anything can happen, and a good team spirit can push us to give our best and dig deep to compensate for our physical handicap."
Relying on Team Spirit
While the logical outcome may not be in their favor, Kasri is counting on his team's spirit to make a difference. "We will play with a good balance of effort to avoid wasting too much energy, which could be fatal against an opponent who is physically stronger, technically superior, and has players with more individual qualities. If we can even get a point, it would be a great achievement for us. It may not have a significant impact on our position in the standings, but it would have a very positive effect on our morale," Kasri confirms, eager to see a glimmer of hope for a maintenance that will be anything but comfortable.
