Algeria - World Cup: a forgotten player sends a message to Vladimir Petkovic

Delivering a rock-solid performance in the high-stakes clash against Al-Gharafa SC, Adam Ounas reminded everyone that he remains a player capable of making a difference when it matters most. The Algerian international was lively and inventive in attacking phases, playing a key role in his team's victory in a match with major title race implications.

Ounas still thinking about the Greens

After the match, the former OGC Nice winger made no secret of his desire to return to the Algeria national football team.

"I try to give my all every match and we’ll see what is decided for the national team. I am always ready to be called up," he declared with determination.

"Every player dreams of playing in a World Cup. If he calls me, great; if not, I’ll keep working. There are still more challenges ahead, we’ll see." A clear message sent to the coach.
