Ghazi Ghrairi to Focus on Improving Defensive Performance to Succeed Against Etoile
The Press — The three points earned against ASM, although precious and welcome, should not overshadow the difficulties faced by JSK. It was not a dominant performance, with a long period of struggling to cope with the game. The opportunism of the two foreign players, Junior and Abdoulay, was crucial in securing the win. Now, the team must learn to manage the upcoming away game against Etoile in Sousse, who seem to have regained their morale after drawing against Monastir.
A prestigious classic that used to excite the championship, but no longer does. JSK often posed problems for Etoile in the past, but does the current team have the means to surprise Etoile in Sousse? In any case, Ghazi Ghrairi plans to deploy all his resources to bring back at least a point. The good start of JSK in the championship, despite the limited squad and delayed preparation, proves that the team has qualities and is effective.
Particular attention has been paid to the positioning of the defense and midfielders during the recovery phase to avoid the mistakes made against ASM. Players such as Kalai, Belakhel, Meddeb, Hlel, and midfielders Neffati, Bakari Touré (who has shown a lot of heart and ease in his game), and Junior have invested heavily in training. Ghrairi has given many instructions to these players to tighten up the spaces and play as a unit.
Up front, Ghrairi is considering opting for a single striker, likely Abdoulay, and introducing an additional midfielder to surprise Etoile. Liouane, who came on as a substitute against ASM, is expected to start in place of Kada. As for Kayrmani, he remains the organizer of the Aghlabide game and the player everyone is satisfied with. This will be a contested and difficult match, but the Aghlabides have the means to bring back a positive result if they perform well defensively.
