The Cabistes Suffer Third Consecutive Defeat...
La Presse - What can be said other than the risk of repetition? Over the weekend, we played the 29th round of the championship, and the CAB is still not on track. They are still searching for a clear strategy and the imprint of the coach on the field. From disappointment to disappointment, the large "yellow and black" public is subjected to a cold shower. Against ESS, we saw a team that was uninspired, multiplying technical mistakes. And the more we play, the more these same shortcomings keep surfacing again.
The coach, Chiheb Ellili (who eventually left), has been rotating the squad to his liking, using over 20 players without finding the right formula. He simply failed to stabilize a formation capable of competing with teams that are far within their reach, both on paper and on the field, at least in appearance.
The pill is no longer going down...
The countless missed scoring opportunities over the past three consecutive defeats are impressive. But what have we been doing in training sessions all this time? Among the "quantity" of new recruits, not a single player has emerged from the pack? Not a single attacker who can put the ball in the net? And yet, there's Momar Diop, Ahmed Amri, Ayendi, Berrima, Taimi, Chihi, Nourani, Fellahi, etc. Everyone within the Cabiste family has been patient and given time to time, but we haven't seen anything come to fruition.
In 29 matches played, the CAB has managed an average of 0.6 goals per match. What a "dry spell" offensively! Against ESS, the teammates of Maktouf shone with their inefficiency. Isn't it Dridi, Amri, Diop, or Ayendi? We try to proceed with multiple coaching sessions, but nothing seems to work. And Bilel Ben Massoud, the assistant coach, comes out, as usual, to explain the defeat: "We created many scoring opportunities, but the realization was lacking. We need to work harder and correct our shortcomings in the next matches." The season is almost over, and we're still talking about fixing errors. It's surreal! This pill is no longer going down for the Cabiste supporters. Chiheb Ellili is gone, and it's Sofiene Hidoussi who will make his comeback. Will something change?
