Arab Cup: Bougherra ready to call up an A team legend | OneFootball

The guiding principle is clear: maintain the team chemistry inherited from the CHAN while boosting internal competition with carefully selected reinforcements. The existing core will be preserved, with no special privileges, in a merit-based system where status must be earned in training and confirmed on match day. The goal is twofold: to provide the A’ squad with a richer tactical arsenal—featuring more synchronized pressing, sharper transitions, and more patient build-up play—and to ensure squad depth capable of absorbing the unpredictability of a short tournament. As December 1 approaches, the roadmap comes down to three clear verbs: expand, assess, decide. The aim is to reach matchday with certainty, cohesion, and fierce competition for every spot.
