Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi believes his side’s solid preparation helped them to defeat Senegal in their second Africa Cup of Nations Group C game on Thursday.
Youcef Belaili’s solitary strike ensured the Desert Foxes claimed a 1-0 victory over the Teranga Lions and saw them continue their unbeaten record against the West Africans in the tournament (W3 D1).
The former Algeria international and Manchester City player Belmadi is optimistic his side can keep up their impressive form in the competition.
“We had to win. I was on great tactical preparation for this match,” Belmadi said in a post-match interview.
