Algerian international midfielder Ismaël Bennacer has publicly expressed his confusion over his exclusion from the national team, despite having regained his form in recent weeks. His comments, reported by LGD Fennec, reveal a sense of disappointment regarding this decision.
While expressing his frustrations, Bennacer emphasized his determination to remain prepared for any potential opportunities. He acknowledged the manager’s authority and conveyed a commitment to maintaining his fitness and performance levels.
“I’m not going to lie, I’m baffled. When you’re in form, you’ve regained your level and you’ve long harboured the ambition of playing in a World Cup with your country, it’s inevitably hard to take. But I respect the decisions made… I’ll keep working, keep up the pace and maintain my fitness. And as long as there’s a chance, I’ll be ready to step up,” he stated.
