Pitifully eliminated in the first phase of the African Cup of Nations, Algeria is licking its wounds at present. Ismaël Bennacer chose to address the “Algerian people”.

I am deeply sorry, writes the AC Milan player on social networks. I don’t have words strong enough to describe my disappointment following this new disillusionment… I read all your messages of support which touch me enormously. They make me regret even more not having met your expectations, this time again. »

Forfeited for the matches against Burkina Faso and Mauritania, the person concerned was unable to participate properly in this CAN. “ It’s painful to feel all the love you have for us and not be able to satisfy you as it should. Donning the national team jersey is more than just a responsibility. It’s carrying the love and pride you feel for our beautiful nation. Unfortunately, we were not up to the challenge. We have fallen but we are not defeated. »
