The Angolan team intends to make its debut with victory, today, against Algeria, in the first round of group D of the African Championship of Nations (CAN) 2023, starting at 9:00 pm, which has been played since Saturday, in Côte d’Ivoire
The National Honors Football Team faces Algeria, this afternoon, at the Stade de la Paix (Bouaké), in a match counting for the first round of group D of the 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations (CAN) . The Palancas Negras, led by the Portuguese Pedro Gonçalves, intend to get off on the right foot in the continental event, but forecasts indicate that this goal is far from being achieved.
On the one hand, the Angolans will face an opponent that brings together players who play in the best championships of the “Old Continent”, namely Ait Nouri (Wolverhampton of the Premier League), Bennacer (AC Milan of Italy), Riyad Mahrez (Al-Ahli of Arabia Saudi), Aissa Mandi (Villarreal from Spain), as well as Youcef Atal (Nice from France). On the other hand, the Algerian team has already won the competition on two occasions (1990 and 2019). To win the first three points in the competition, the national team must exert greater intensity in offensive actions.
In the history of clashes, there was a record of four draws, two wins, one for each side, as well as ten goals scored. In the last private match, the Algerians thrashed Burundi, with four unanswered balls. The Palancas Negras beat Bahrain, three goals to zero, with goals from Gelson Dala Kadu and Dominique, Neblu, Tó Carneiro, Eddie Afonso, Kinito, Buatu, Gaspar, Loide Augusto and Núrio Fortuna, Fredy, Beni, Bruno Paz, Keliano , Show, Estrela, Zine, Mabululu, Milson, Gelson Dala, Jérémie Bela, Mbala Zola and Zito Luvumbo are the athletes who will represent the colors of the national flag in the competition. Remember that the competition was initially scheduled for 2023, but the African Football Confederation (CAF) moved it to this year for weather reasons.
