Algerian football club MC Constantine's coach, Yacine Mance, has spoken out about the team's recent poor form, which has seen them suffer back-to-back defeats. Mance expressed his disappointment and frustration at the team's situation, questioning how his team's image had changed so drastically in such a short period. The team's performance had initially earned praise, but two consecutive losses have led to criticism of Mance and his players.
Mance attributed the team's struggles to the issue of unpaid financial dues, which he believes has caused a rift within the squad and affected the players' morale. He emphasized that he would not shy away from responsibility but refused to accept sole blame for the team's poor results. Mance highlighted that several factors had contributed to the team's decline, including the late formation of the squad and delayed signings.
The coach pointed out that MC Constantine's preparation for the season was delayed, and several key players were lost due to financial issues. Despite these challenges, the team started the season strongly, with Mance and his players earning praise for their performances. However, the team's form has dipped significantly in recent weeks, with Mance citing the ongoing issue of unpaid dues as a major factor.
Mance discussed the team's latest defeat to CA Batna, which ended 5-2 in favor of the opposing team. He expressed his disappointment with the result, stating that it did not reflect the team's performance, particularly in the second half. Mance revealed that his team had dominated the second half and created several scoring opportunities but ultimately fell short.
The coach also highlighted the impact of several key absences on the team's performance, including the absence of defender Wael Ben Sahl, who is still recovering from an injury. Mance emphasized that the team's makeshift lineup struggled to cope with the stronger and more cohesive Batna side.
Mance reiterated his commitment to the team and his role as coach but did not rule out the possibility of leaving if his presence became a hindrance to the team's success. He emphasized that his primary concern was the team's well-being and that he would continue to work with the players to help them overcome their current struggles.
In conclusion, Mance appealed to the team's fans and supporters to rally behind the team and help them navigate this difficult period. He stressed that the team's priority should be to regain their confidence and momentum, which would enable them to bounce back from their recent setbacks.
