On Tuesday, the Algerian national team faces Burkina Faso in the return leg of the 2014 World Cup play-off, aiming to secure their qualification for the tournament in Brazil. After a 2-3 defeat in the first leg, the Algerian team, also known as the Fennecs, must win the match at the Tchaker stadium in Blida to advance to the World Cup.
The significance of the match is not lost on the players, and there is a palpable sense of pressure building up. Ishak Belfodil, who was absent in the first leg, acknowledges the increasing tension as the match approaches and the expectations from the fans rise. However, he expresses confidence that the team will remain focused on their collective goal of securing qualification for the World Cup in Brazil.
Belfodil highlights the importance of the two away goals scored in the first leg, considering them a positive outcome. Despite a contentious penalty in Burkina Faso’s favor, the Inter striker believes the team has the second half of the double confrontation to turn the situation in their favor, especially with the support of their home audience in Blida. The players are aware of the fervor surrounding the match and are motivated to achieve success and secure their place in the World Cup.
