While the latest information pointed to growing optimism regarding the arrival of French Espoirs international Maghnes Akliouche in the Algerian selection, The Team throws a cold this Saturday.
THURSDAY, The Gazette du Fennec explained why Algeria still has a shot to play with Maghnes Akliouche. Author of 4 goals and 4 assists in all competitions this season, the 22-year-old winger impresses week after week with AS Monaco, particularly in the Champions League, and continues to confirm his immense potential.
A potential that makes Algeria dream. “He never misses an Algeria match on TV. He’s been a real Greens fan since he was little”recently assured his paternal uncle. There was also talk that the native of Tremblay-en-France would attend the last match of the Fennecsagainst Liberia (5-1) even if it ultimately did not happen. Above all, LGDF explained that the Monegasque would have missed the last Bleuets gathering for doubtful reasons, highlighting a “hamstring discomfort”. A simple pretext which would reflect his desire to move away from the French selections to get closer to Algeria?

I play my matches, I continue to work”he added, without really revealing his choice. While waiting for the person concerned to clarify his intentions, the media battle continues to rage between the press française and Algerian in this matter…
