The situation is more favorable today,” He warns that there is nothing final either for them or for those who have been dismissed: “In the world there are players who have a selection. Having access to English is not an end in itself, the hardest part still has to be done, they will be in the middle of the competition and they will have to stand out.”

The door, he also leaves open for Andy Delort and this is the first time he has spoken in a new tone about a Nice player since he was sent off last October for asking to do the job. The impasse at the CAN.

“There is nothing personal with Andy, quite the opposite. There is just a position he has taken in relation to the country and the players. For those who know, she is a bombshell. We can’t do that, we don’t accept that. There was a discussion with him, there are other elements and he will be available.” opportunity to say things too.” Belmadi states who, implicitly, does not rule out the possibility of calling up the striker who had just finished the season in Ligue 1 again.

FIFA and refereeing: only beautiful words

“The most dangerous Cameroonian player is Ekambi. Benayada had the advantage of putting him in the pocket in the first leg and in the second leg. But he had to put himself in front, this mistake to get out of his focus, football is all that. He is not in alignment nor in marking. He is a level High, it is played based on the details and if we add the judgment, there is still a lot to do,” Analyse.

Around Referee JasamaBelmadi did not change his mind and asserts that he distorted the result of the match between Algeria and Cameroon and even launched a small challenge to FIFA.
