Benzarti Will Be Forced to Revise His Team's Composition
After the draw against CSS, Benzarti will have to re-examine his team's composition, particularly in the midfield.
Recent Performance
The draw against CSS at Radès has once again shown that the CA has not found its balance. The team failed to deliver in the second half, with an inexplicable physical and mental collapse. The same mistakes were repeated, including poor coverage and withdrawal.
Criticisms and Expected Changes
Criticism has been rampant, targeting both the players and the coach, who insists on making the same choices that have not yielded satisfactory results in the past. Changes are now inevitable, especially with a tricky match against JSO, a tough opponent. The midfield is the area where changes are likely to occur to bring more dynamism and efficiency. Ghaïth Sghaïer is likely to be the first to be sacrificed.
Potential Lineup Changes
Saydou Khan has a strong chance of starting the match and proving his capabilities. Zaâlouni, who has been weak in his defensive role, may also find himself on the bench, making way for Bouabid (or possibly Romdhnae, who is physically ready but lacks rhythm).
Defensive Lineup
In defense, Shili is expected to retain his position as left-back, given that Houssem Ben Ali is injured. Aït Malek and Khadhraoui, who have been disappointing, may not be benched simultaneously, especially since their potential replacements, Mesmari and Srarfi, have not shown significant improvement (despite their limited playing time).
Needed Improvements
More than the players' names, the CA needs a different collective attitude. The team requires more seriousness and selflessness to better capitalize on its strong moments during a match. Technical problems have persisted since last season, but what exacerbates them is the distraction and fragility of the Clubistes during critical moments in a match. The team seems to lack the ability to win, with only Chaouat, Ali Youssef, and Kinzumbi consistently performing well.
Coach's Responsibilities
Benzarti must assume his responsibilities, having had sufficient time to put his mark on the team. Finally, the goalkeeper position is still uncertain, with Yefreni potentially regaining his spot after Chamekh's mediocre performance against CSS.
