Tuesday evening, the Fennecs lost 2 to 1 once morest Cameroon. They will therefore not go to the World Cup in Qatar, unless the desperate attempt by the FAF to have the match replayed succeeds. Meanwhile, Algeria does not digest and points the finger at the referee of the meeting. Djamel Belmadi had lit the first wick following the meeting. “I say it today without fear: these referees do not respect our country. They come here, see our work and don’t respect us. In the last two years, I haven’t seen a single referee who isn’t aggressive when you come to talk to him. I’m not looking for excuses, these are facts.”.
Criticized, Bakary Gassama, the referee of this meeting, had a difficult end to the evening. And the next day was just as much. Competition explains that the Gambian, who was to take a flight to Istanbul, was almost lynched at Houari-Boumediene airport in Algiers by a crowd of Fennecs supporters. The Algerian media adds that Mr. Gassama also met Djamel Belmadi who allegedly called him “corrupt” and “a dishonest referee”. Atmosphere.
