Burkina Faso, seeking qualification for the 2014 World Cup, is gearing up for the return match against Algeria after their 3-2 victory in the first leg. Coach Paul Put has called up 26 players, including key figures like Alain Traoré and Charles Kaboré. Bertrand Traoré, who plays for Chelsea, is also part of the squad. The team has chosen Casablanca for their preparations, and players began training on November 11, 2013.
Bertrand Traoré emphasized the importance of not underestimating Algeria, especially when playing in front of their home crowd. He stated, “It would be a serious mistake to watch the Algerians play in front of their home crowd. If we let them weave their web, they will quickly gain confidence.” The return match is scheduled to take place at the Moustapha Tchaker stadium in Blida on November 19, and Burkina Faso aims to secure their spot in the World Cup.
