Algeria, drawn in Group H alongside Belgium, Russia, and South Korea, is aiming to advance beyond the first round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In a recent interview, Vahid Halilhodzic, the Bosnian coach of the team, expressed confidence in the collective strength of his squad, emphasizing that while Algeria may not have individual stars like Ivory Coast’s Drogba, Cameroon’s Eto’o, or Ghana’s Essien, the team’s unity will be their greatest asset.
Halilhodzic also mentioned the quality of their opponents, noting that South Korea will surprise many, especially those who underestimate them, and highlighted Belgium as one of the best teams in Europe. Despite the challenges, the coach is determined to achieve a strong result against Belgium.
Algeria’s preparation for the World Cup is well underway, with the squad expected to leave Algiers on June 7 for Brazil, where they will finalize their preparations and aim to make a strong impression at the tournament.
