Very happy with the first place occupied by his team two days before the end of the return phase, coach Abdelhak Benchikha congratulated his players during the resumption session which took place on Tuesday afternoon before demanding for them to continue on this path.
“I congratulate you for everything you have done in the last matches. You have done the right thing, but you must maintain this good dynamic so as not to return to square one,” he told them. Although he got angry with some of his elements, notably against Amriche in the first half during the last meeting against ES Mostaganem, Benchikha was keen to congratulate all his elements for having managed to follow up with a series of good results since their semi-failure conceded at home against the USMA.
“We must finish this phase going strong”
Satisfied with his teammates who do not shy away from the effort so as not to disappoint their hundreds of thousands of supporters, Benchikha did not miss the opportunity to remind them that there are still two matches left in this first leg and that they will have to negotiate them well so as not to be joined or left behind by the other contenders for the title. “We are on a series of good results, but we need to finish this phase strongly to try to keep our place,” he added. Very close to his players whom he defends at each of his press conferences, Benchikha tries to get the best out of them to achieve the objectives assigned to him by management.
“We must not miss the match against ASO”
To hope to finish the first leg in first place, coach Benchikha not only hopes that his pursuers concede missteps in the matches to come, but he is also banking on the determination of his players to follow up with performances in the two remaining matches. for the end of the first leg. “We must not miss the match against ASO,” he told them. He knows that a defeat against ASO could cost the team its first place in the general classification, especially since USMA and CRB have several matches in hand. JSK has a history of achieving good results in recent years in Chlef and he hopes that his team preserves its unbeaten streak. ASO has shown good things during the last meetings and even if he has a lot of respect for this team, he does not want to lose this Saturday in Chlef.
“Nothing is certain at the moment”
To avoid any relaxation on the part of his players, Benchikha reminded them that the season is still long and that they must negotiate game by game to achieve the club's objectives. “You are on an upward path but the championship is still long. We have to negotiate game by game to try to collect the maximum possible points,” he told them. Despite the good form displayed by his team in recent matches, Benchikha keeps his feet on the ground. He knows that the hardest part is yet to come and that to hope to end the season in apotheosis, his team must beat teams known to be difficult to handle at home like ASO, while waiting for the late match against CRB, a serious competitor. for the title.
