National coach Jalel Kadri was not praised on his players after the draw snatched against Mali (1-1), last night in the second match in the African Cup of Nations.
“The team showed a strength of character after their draw with Mali. The Tunisian selection approached the match with a winner’s spirit in order to catch up after the defeat against Namibia, and behaved well throughout the game “, adding that” the draw maintains the chances of Tunisia intact for a qualification in the next round “.
This draw, if it remains good to take accounting level, however showed the physical limits of a Tunisia often overwhelmed by Mali last night and short of argument, tactically to the point of being satisfied with the draw at a time when it was mainly the business of the Malians.
This is not the opinion of Jalel Kadri who considered that “on the physical level, the players were better than in the first match against Namibia especially in the first half,” he added, saying that “the last confrontation of the first round against South Africa will be under the sign of victory and nothing other than victory”.
Kadri has also indicated that the atmosphere is good within the group and that players must be at the best of their form against South Africa.
