Algeria Players: Injuries and New Clubs

Really strange no the single article about what Hadj Aissa did wth Ittihad Jeddah against Juventus … Is this blog is biased? and neglect our talented players who are pure production of the beautiful algerian Football …
Brazil and all countries in the world export players and us we import players born abroad … and why Algeria is not building Football schools so is like they would like that this problem last for ever …

Algerian

you might have a point about zidan, but as for hadj aissa, first, he is not consistent.second, he is not diciplined, that’s way he was kicked out of the ALgerian squad,
as for our” imported players” shame on you, you do not think they are Algerian enough because they were born in FRance?
I live in the US so according to your analogy my son should not play for ALgeria because he was born in the US?
What is really strange is your mentality, No wonder Algeria is still a third world country

DZmouloudia, I understand that Hadj-Aissa did have an altercation with Saadane and yes that was out of line, but consider the circumstance, he wanted his passport to go on trial for Portsmouth but was not allowed it. But since then he has apologized. And Hadj-Aissa is very consistent. A midfielder is not judged on the goals he scores but the play he brings. He is the biggest revelation to bless Algeria since Ziani and Belhadj arrived. There is no doubt that his recent upturn in form is due to in no small part to the fact he wants to rejoin the National Team, at which the majority of Algerians would be very happy to see. He would almost certainly only increase the talent possessed by Algeria. As for our diaspora abroad, they have now been given the chance to see what Algeria is really capable of, only recently did Samir Nasri state that he regrets not choosing to play for Algeria, especially now considering the renaissance that Algeria has been through. And as for football academies, search Paradou A.C. The next generation of homegrown Algerian Footballers are coming and my God are they good.

Omar- Good post (You can’t please everybody) Just a couple of corrections though. Yebda is NOT a Benfica player. He plays for Portsmouth (AKA Pompy) in the English premiership.

Raourawa and FAF gave their green light for these three players to remain in Britain and play these games until the 1st of January. There was absolutely no controversy in either camps (Algerian, English or Scottish)

Ziaya move to France has stalled as the ESS president started back peddling after receiving a substantial offer from a Middle Eastern club. Apparently, it was reported that the president didn’t even ’see fit’ to check with the player before refusing the offer. This saga seems to be ongoing.

Thanks,
NG

Nazim, Omar was right, Yebda actually is a Benfica players, he is only at Portsmouth on loan like Rafik Halliche. By next summer, both of them will be playing for Benfica. It is almost certain that Ziaya will go to Sochaux, I do not see him going to Jeddah any time soon.

Thanks Kazi- I guess this will fall under the category of syntax or semantics…If a player is on loan to someone else, I perceive that player to be with whatever club he’s currently playing with…David Beckham in 01/2010 will be a Rossoneri and not an LA galaxy player…Now if we want to be technically correct…Yes, They’re both the property of S. L. Benfica on loan to Pompy. I do note your point though. I perosonally don’t see them going back to play for Benfica…Both have been rather effective and seem to get on pretty well with A. Grant. So I think someone in England will eventually grab them. (P.S. They looked awesome last night against Arsenal…even if they lost)…I don’t think Pompy will keep them though as they might even go in administration by the end of the season if they don’t straighten their finances soon so I don’t seem them buying anyone. (I might be wrong)

In regards to Ziaya…It WAS certain up to Tuesday…but on Wednesday, ESS president made his unfamous chock announcement. I really think Socheaux might get a little irritated with the whole Saga…I don’t see him going to Saudi Arabia (why should he?) I agree with him there. I don’t think Socheaux is the best destination for him, unless he’s using it simply as a bridge. Socheaux ain’t Lyon, L’OM or even Auxerre…it’s a barely average French club (Always has been). I realize he’s no T. Henry either but everyone who saw him seems to think he’s awesome…Full of hopes. I wish him the best…I am sure someone, somewhere will grab him.

Kasi- That’s the last update as of yesterday (DZ Foot is usually pretty reliable)

Anyway, at your leisure:

P.S. I still think he will leave ESS regardless, I am just not sure where….and I don’t particularily want him to settle for a small club like Socheaux (leaving for the sake of leaving only, you know what I’m saying?)

DZmouloudia, Firstable I guess your favorite team is MCA? If yes congratulation for the good face MCA showed till now!!! but I support USMAn and we may reach you soon …

My answers are here below:

> you might have a point about zidan, but as for hadj aissa, first, he is > not consistent.

Please put yourself on him, be neglected by his own country and owarded by others countries? and I pray Allah to give me his patience and trust in GOD, and the proof he returned from the big door and if I was in his place I would be certainly lost. The same situation happened with Messaoud …

> second, he is not diciplined, that’s way he was kicked out of the
> ALgerian squad,

Please do not listen only what the others say but try to talk to Hadj Aissa and please watch an interview of algeriafoot.com where the interviewer was shocked how Hadj Aissa is polite and he did not understand what arrived to him (even Hadj Aissa apologized!!). Also, Belhadj and Bouazza refused to play a game and they still playing??? which is much worse what Hadj Aissa did ..

> as for our” imported players” shame on you, you do not think they are >Algerian enough because they were born in FRance?

Look do not minimize and treat me, is you who forget his origins. I believe you are educated and learn statistics in school ??? How our NT is composed of 90% of players born abroad? while the algerian school produced Assad, Belloumi, Madjer, bensaoula, Kaci Said, Dziri, Tasfout, and Algerian players from this school cannot fill the 90%. Think a little few millions abroad are the 10% of the 35 millions inside Algeria: Just a question of counting …. Probably you tell me that the current Foortball Algerian school is weak but why they are not making any effort to cure it??? that’s the question?? Hadj Aissa is here and he is innocent and I am should defend him (I am not crazy of soccer) but Hadj Aissa situation really touch me because our Shouhada fought mainly because they were oppressed (Mustadaafeen) and not free in their own country.
I agree with you and wish the best for your children to play for our NT in the future (they are 100% Algerian and proud of them), me also I have children born abroad and wish to play for the NT but not with a 90% component: It does not make sense … means that algerian living inside Algeria are neglected ….
Finally, I do not agree most of Algerian players speak a foreign language which is not representing the Algerian identity: Think that 90% of the french and US teams speak only foreign language? I do not think this will pass and it will be a big noise in the news ….
I can understand a NT with 10% of players born abroad but not 90% is crazy ..

Algerian, i do understand your frustration with the Algerian league and teams, but hopefully, the new Federation is working on encouraging teams to form players on solid basis and i think that the Parado academy is the perfect illustration of the new changes.

Hadj Aissa might be a talented players, but i still think that he lacks the Professionalism required for any professional player.As for his episode during the Egyptian team, he was not kicked out because he asked for his passport, he was kicked out because he was not happy about the fact that he was not included in the 18 players list and he had a smart ass comment for Saadan.

As for the current situation and your comments about “imported players” what are we supposed to do???? only use local players, players that lack discipline, physical condition, consistency and plain simply lack the talent to compete at the African level, let along the world level.
i just do not get your logic about the difference between Algerians from the mother land and Algerian born in Europe? so are they less Algerian??? or not Algerian enough? or should we go back to the old regionalism games??? like 82???

Come on now, and since you had to bring up our revolution, do not forget that most FLN FIGHTERS and members did not speak Arabic, so are they less Algerian than someone who went to school in Cairo???

We are all Algerians,regardless of our place of birth.

DZMouloudiaMCO has a point. It’s also worth mentioning that we have Moujahideen who where enrolled in the French army and then defected to the FLN. MY point is that we should put the best players and thats all. If you have players that play against big teams like Liverpool and Arsenel and score goals (Belhadj and Yebda) then they deserve a place in the national Sqaud as simple as that. But having players toiling in the Bureaucracy and corruption of the Algerian League and having them play just because they “should play” is nonsense and unjust…

The future of Algerian football is very bright. We have great coaches Saadan in the national squad, BEN SHIEKHA in the A team. Also our U-17 is showing great promise after becoming runner ups in the African cup and securing a place in the U-17 World cup and seems progressing.

People tend to forget that Algeria is still emerging from the Black Decade, so please, patience and work hard!

DZ has a point. We cannot rely mainly on home grown players who haven’t got the skill or discipline to represent Algeria – bar few – on a world level. Just because players are abroad or were born their does not mean they do not deserve a place less than a player from MCA or USMA or JSK. Besides, our future is safe with the Paradou AC, and an influx of young Abroad-based algerians who want to play for their mother country as opposed to the place of their birth. Examples are Feghouli, possibly the best young talent in france, who wanted to go on to play for france until Algeria beat Egypt, when he then admitted he has to consider his options. With players like him and Abdelmalek Bezzaz joining along with the still growing players of Belhadj, Halliche, Yebda, Abdoun and Bouazza, Algeria’s future in football is safe.
