Not too many illusions after a fairly eventful and disrupted week.
On the social network of the Union Sportive de Tataouine, we talk about “calm before the storm”. A title which is intended to be optimistic for a team which only resumed training on Wednesday November 6 before a very crucial match against an African Club which has prepared well to return to victory in the long term. With the even temporary maintenance (against all odds) of coach Mounir Rached, it will not be easy for the Lions of the Sahara to negotiate a very important turn in the championship. A seventh defeat in 8 matches could worsen their situation even if it would be too early to throw in the towel on a competition which will be spread over 30 days… But precisely with what means? Without physical resources, without a strong mind, without a great manager on the bench, we must admit that this will not be an easy task. Barring a miracle, a new setback is strongly anticipated against David Bettoni's team.
A low block
When a team is short of physical preparation, it does not have the means to manage the high pace for 90 minutes, especially against an offensive armada as impressive and formidable as that of Club Africain. The Lions of the Sahara will need a good defensive base in front of their goal perimeter, a clever mix of energy to avoid giving in and losing ground in the first half, that is to say saving time and pushing back for a long time. the deadline with a faint hope of being able to hold out until the end, defy logic and predictions and come out with a positive result that would be truly miraculous. Coach Mounir Rached, who no longer harbors any illusions about his fate as head of staff of UST, after his two fiascos against the JSO and the El Gawafel de Gafsa team to whom he gave new hope of getting out of the tunnel, his only ambition is to finish his adventure with the Tataouinis while leaving a less bad impression.
