Algeria coach Majid Bougherra is preparing his side for what he calls another “final” as they face Guinea in a decisive CHAN 2024 encounter.
Bougherra’s men have earned a reputation as one of the most tactically disciplined teams in the competition, blending compact defending with intelligent movement in attack. Their strong start has put them in a prime position to qualify early for the quarter-finals, but the coach insists there is no room for complacency.
“From the beginning, I’ve said that every game is a final,” Bougherra remarked ahead of the clash. “Tomorrow, we face Guinea, who still believe in their chances. It will be a tough match for both teams. We’ve had more time to recover and prepare.”
The Algerian tactician also revealed that his staff had closely studied Guinea’s performances so far. “We’ve analyzed Guinea’s recent games thoroughly, understanding their strengths and weaknesses — though I won’t reveal them here,” he added with a smile.
Guinea, still chasing their knockout stage ambitions, are expected to come out fighting, making this meeting a true test of tactical discipline versus sheer determination.
