Following Algeria’s elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals, national team captain Riyad Mahrez has issued a message to the Algerian supporters.
In a post on his Instagram account, Mahrez expressed his disappointment but also his pride in the team. “We are disappointed with the elimination, but proud of this team and this group, in successes as in difficult moments,” he wrote.
Mahrez also pledged a strong comeback for the team in future competitions. “Thank you to our fans and to all the Algerian people for your support throughout the competition,” he stated. “We will come back stronger, as always.”
The message from the captain comes as a wave of disappointment washes over Algerian football fans after the team’s unexpected exit from the tournament. The national team had been considered one of the favorites to win the competition, but they failed to live up to expectations.
Mahrez’s words aim to reassure the fans and to rally support behind the team as they look ahead to future challenges. The focus will now shift to rebuilding and preparing for upcoming international fixtures and the next Africa Cup of Nations.
The Algerian squad will be looking to learn from this experience and come back stronger in the future, aiming to bring joy and success to their passionate fanbase.
