The exclusion of Chabab Belouizdad… and a quarrel between Paquita and Guedioura – New Algeria

The CS Belouizdad team was eliminated from the CAF Champions League competition, after losing with a heavy score (0-4), against its host, the Tanzanian club Young Africans, this Saturday evening, in “Dar es Salaam”, in the fifth and penultimate round of the group stage of the continental competition. .

CR Belouizdad conceded four full goals, scored by Modateri Yahya (43′), Stefan Aziz Aki (46′), Kunde Musonda (48′), and Joseph Guidi (84′).

With this result, Young Africans raised its score to 8 points in second place in Group D, three points behind the representative of Algeria, who is ranked third, thus ensuring the Tanzanian club’s qualification to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, given the two direct confrontations between the two teams.

CR Belouizdad had won the first leg, which took place in Algeria, with a score of three goals to zero, which means it is impossible for them to qualify for the next round, even if they win the sixth and final round match against Ghana’s Medeama and Young Africans are defeated at home by Al-Ahly of Egypt.

Al-Ahly of Egypt qualified for the quarter-finals, occupying the top spot in Group Four with 9 points.

The match witnessed a strange and dishonorable snapshot of Algerian football, as a few moments before the end of the match, the coach of Belouizdad’s youth team, the Brazilian Marcos Paqueta, had a verbal quarrel with his team’s player, the former international, Adlan Guedioura, who was sitting on the reserve chair, for incomprehensible reasons, and almost Things would have gotten worse and the fight would have turned physical had it not been for the intervention of some members of the technical staff who were present near them.

A big disappointment for CS Belouizdad supporters

The Arabic “Koura” website reported that a source from the Belouizdad Youth Club revealed to him the truth about what happened between the team’s coach and its player.

He stated that Paqueta was extremely angry with Guedioura, who kept demanding his inclusion in the match during the second half, especially after the team received two surprising goals.

Guedioura also held the Brazilian coach responsible for the team’s elimination, before playing the sixth round match.

The dispute between the two men worsened after Young Africans scored the fourth goal, as Guedioura continued to criticize the way the team was playing, in light of its loss in the midfield battle, which prompted the Brazilian coach to ask him to remain silent.

The exclusion of CR Belouizdad was a major shock to the team’s supporters who were hoping to go far in this season’s edition of the African Football Champions League.

We note that the second representative of Algeria, in African competitions, the club Ittihad Al-Asimah, has secured its early qualification to the quarter-finals of the African Confederation Cup, “CAF”, the title of which it holds.
