Algiers, Algeria – (African Boulevard News) – The TotalEnergies U17 AFCON is heating up as Congo is set to face Algeria in a do or die final Group A clash on Friday. The head coach of Congo, Fabrizio Cesana, has urged his team to be more efficient in their attack against Algeria to secure their place in the knockout stage of the tournament.
Cesana’s team lost their opening game against Ivory Coast and were held to a draw by Equatorial Guinea in their second game. A win against Algeria is crucial for Congo to qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament.
“We need to be more effective in our attack against Algeria. We have been creating chances but have failed to convert them into goals. We have been working on our finishing in training, and I hope it pays off in our game against Algeria,” said Cesana.
Congo’s attack has been lackluster in the tournament so far, with only one goal in two games. Their defense has also been shaky, conceding three goals. Cesana will be hoping that his team can put in a solid performance against Algeria and secure their place in the knockout stage.
Algeria, on the other hand, are in a strong position in the group, having won their first two games against Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast. A win against Congo will see them top the group and advance to the next round of the tournament.
Congo will need to keep a close eye on Algeria’s star striker, Abdoulaye Seck, who has already scored three goals in the tournament. Cesana will also be looking to his captain, Junior N’Kouka, to lead the team from the front and inspire them to victory.
The game between Congo and Algeria promises to be an exciting one, with both teams desperate for a win. A win for Congo will see them book their place in the knockout stage of the tournament, while Algeria will be looking to maintain their perfect record in the competition.
In conclusion, Cesana’s plea to his team to be more efficient in their attack against Algeria highlights the importance of finishing in football. Congo will need to be clinical in front of goal if they are to have any chance of winning against Algeria. It will be an exciting game, and fans can expect an entertaining match between these two sides.
