Repeated Red Cards Raise Concerns About CAB's Discipline
The Press — This is an unprecedented situation! Never in memory has the CAB received so many red cards in such a short period. Are the Cabistes poorly trained in terms of discipline? Are they poorly guided mentally? Or is it a combination of both? Most of the faults can be considered as those of beginners! Otherwise, how can we explain that they are committed, for some of them, in the opponent's zone and therefore useless.
The best illustration is this action without any danger against the CSS on the occasion of the second day, which saw Farouk Bougatfa "charge" a Sfaxian player for free and was sanctioned for cumulative warnings, synonymous with expulsion.
And the same for Fonseca and Alaeddine Dridi, who were sanctioned for rough play in the middle of the field, respectively against the ASS and against the ESS. As for Jaballah, a central defender, and Ahmed Amri, a striker, the first did not find better than to pull a jersey on a Marsois, and the second simply removed his jersey, for joy, when scoring the winning goal against the USBG in stoppage time. And to complete the loop, Allala closes the march against the ESZ.
The Technical Staff Under Fire
In short, all these errors of judgment and intemperate decisions by the players do not go down well in the Cabiste microcosm. Were these expulsions avoidable? Obviously, yes, under normal conditions, because they have been repeated several times.
And there, the technical staff, Chiheb Ellili first, is also pointed out for not having played its role through a mental trainer. But since there are practically no influential and charismatic figures at the CAB, everyone does as they please, adding indiscipline to the confusion that reigns. The future looks frankly uncertain...
