He continued, “It is difficult to explain what happened, since the beginning of the session, we did not translate the opportunities that were available to us, and doubt is leaking to us. There are things you do not know, Mahrez did not benefit from a special holiday and I bear the responsibility of involving him in all the first round matches.”
Belmadi stressed that his focus was on the African Nations Cup and not on the decisive role that qualifies for the World Cup, acknowledging that the “Greens” did not get the desired results.
