He added: "The players are now more confident and believe in their abilities, and I see them in good shape, and they are sure that they will give their best on the field."

Regarding their opponent, the Algerian team, he said: "They played in the first match against the world champions; the Algerian team is strong in attack, fast, and has great players even on the bench."
