Algerian international Foued Kadir, not playing against Benin during the third day of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, denies rumors of a conflictual relationship between him and his coach Halilhodzic. In an interview given to colleagues from the site lebuteur.com, Kadir estimated that the Bosnian technician is doing a good job, and it is up to him to put himself at the top to deserve the national selection.
“It is nonsense. Halilhodzic knows how to do his job well. We’ve been together for several months, and be sure, knowing the coach, if I was really unwanted, he wouldn’t even have taken me, he wouldn’t have brought me in for the last training session. With Vahid, only performance and discipline count. It’s really sad to hear all this gossip, when in reality, absolutely nothing happened between me and the coach,” said the player.
