Qatar will face an unusual test for the Asian champions when it collides with Algeria.

Qatar won its four matches in the tournament, but it achieved all these victories against Asian competitors, and the draw prevented it from facing any African team before meeting Algeria.

Algerian overconfidence

And the director of the Algerian national team, Amin al-Abdi, said - after bypassing Morocco - "It is no secret to you that there was a lot of talk about the Moroccan team match, and some said that Algeria wanted to avoid the Moroccan team, and it wanted to top the group, so it sought to beat Egypt, and this talk is baseless. He is healthy."

He added, "Algeria players are ready to face any opponent, even the tournament organizer, the Qatar team. We are not afraid of any team and strive to give our best. The Moroccans spoke a lot and said that they would beat us by four, and they wanted to dwarf the Algerian team, and our response was above the green rectangle; 120 minutes, and we got them running after the score."

The Algerian Arab journalist Mahmoudi - who resides in Doha, and whose analyzes are widely accepted in the Algerian sports street - demanded the respect of the Qatar national team.

He said about the match - in statements to Al-Hadaf channel from the Qatari capital - "The Qatari team is a good team, the Asian champion, and has skilled players in defense and attack, and we have to respect the opponent."

"The coach of the Algerian national team, Majid Bougherra, has experience in Qatari stadiums, and he knows the players of this team with the green stars who are active in

this league as well," he added.
