As the first leg of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers between Burkina Faso and Algeria approaches, the psychological battle between the two teams is intensifying. The Algerian football selection, after a short preparation course, has arrived in Burkina Faso for the crucial match scheduled for October 12 in Ouagadougou.
While the president of the Burkinabé Football Federation (FBF), Sita Sangaré, expressed the belief that the qualification for the World Cup will be decided in Algeria, the Algerian team is well aware of the significance of obtaining a positive result at the August 4 stadium.
Algerian observers emphasize that the real challenge lies in the upcoming match in Burkina Faso, rather than the return match in Blida next month. The Fennecs recognize the importance of navigating this initial encounter successfully to pave the way for World Cup qualification.
Midfielder Hassan Yebda is determined and ready for the tough battle against Burkina Faso. He acknowledges the difficulty of the upcoming match but expresses the team’s determination to pursue their dream. Yebda sees this as an incredible opportunity to secure a second consecutive qualification and emphasizes the importance of solidarity on the pitch to achieve the best possible result. The midfielder extends gratitude to the supporters who have come to rally behind the team.
