The majority of Algerian national team players wrapped up their club seasons on a high note, delivering standout individual and collective performances that have sent waves of optimism through the Algerian sporting public.
With less than three weeks to go before the FIFA World Cup kicks off, the timing could not be better for coach Vladimir Belloumi’s squad. Captain Riyad Mahrez and his deputy Issa Mandi have been in exceptional form, while third-choice defender Rami Bensebaini once again impressed in the German Bundesliga wearing Borussia Dortmund’s colors — silencing critics who had questioned his output mid-season.
‘These performances are a strong signal,’ a source close to the national team told dzwatch exclusively. ‘The players are arriving at the World Cup in top condition, mentally and physically.’
Algerian fans are eagerly anticipating a historic return to the World Cup stage after a 12-year absence, and the green machine looks primed to make its mark.
