After being qualified for the World Cup play-offs due to an administrative issue with Cape Verde in the last match of the second round of qualifiers, Tunisia is now focusing on the upcoming match against Cameroon. However, the defeat in the match against Cape Verde was disheartening for some players, including goalkeeper Moez Ben Cherifa, who criticized his former coach Nabil Maâloul.
Ben Cherifa expressed his displeasure with Maâloul’s statement blaming the loss on eight players being out of shape. The goalkeeper suggested that Maâloul should have reviewed his tactics instead of criticizing the players. This critique reflects internal tensions within the team following the disappointing result against Cape Verde.
