Yacine Baeri, a champion from the bench
But Saïd El Bouzidi’s men do not intend to stop there. As the captain points out Abdelhakim Zouita. “The victory against Al Ahly is good for morale, but the next match is crucial and we don’t want to go home straight away,” insists the seasoned winger. If the public naturally keeps in mind the performance of Aliou Diarra (21 points, 10 rebounds), Ken Brown (5 assists) or even Jonathan Jordan (14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists), it is Yacine Baeri who led the charge at the start of the last quarter, scoring 7 points with a 100% success rate. “I love Yacine,” admits Zouita affectionately. I salute his positive attitude, because he didn’t play the whole first half, but when he came on, he showed that he was a real professional. A feeling shared by Ayoub Nouhi: “Yacine must be congratulated. For me, he’s the one who brings us back into the match. We are happy to have him with us.”
Nouhi expects a better lineup from the Tigers than the one FUS faced and beat during the Kalahari Conference. “I saw that they brought back pivots and this is the sector that they were lacking a little. I think they are better in the playoffs. But we will face them with the same mentality and we will do everything to win.
