Algerian
fans can not wait any longer. For several days, several weeks, they think only
of that. She obsesses them, haunts their nights and cohabits with them 24 hours
a day. They want to know what she has in store for them, if the moments of joy
will prevail over the phases of distress. It is the Football African Cup of
Nations.
Algeria has been running behind this title
since 1990, the only one ever won by the Fennecs. The generations have passed,
the failures succeeded and the fans have learned to live with fear in the belly
at the approach of each great competition. CAN 2017 is no exception. Prepared
in the most total turmoil - three coaches in six months, set aside from
executives, critics of the press - the great African party arrives quickly.
No question
for the time to talk about trophy, the Belgian technician only think about the
appointment vis-à-vis Zimbabwe, the
first in this CAN, undoubtedly decisive for the continuation of the
competition. A victory before the Warriors would place Algeria in a favorable
situation before approaching two summits against Tunisia and Senegal.
Conversely, a failure would sow doubt on its ability to go to the end.
