Algerian football team Tlaghma's coach, Karim Zawi, has expressed his satisfaction with his team's reaction after successfully coming back from a deficit in two consecutive matches. The team's performance was notable, especially considering they played with ten men for over half an hour after losing a player to a red card. Zawi highlighted that the team could have returned with a full haul if the referee had awarded a legitimate penalty.

This was Zawi's first match as Tlaghma's coach, and he noted that time constraints limited his ability to work on all aspects of the game. He focused primarily on the psychological aspect, given the team's low morale following a poor start to the season. The players showed a positive reaction, and there are encouraging signs for the future.

Zawi emphasized the need to build on the positive indicators from the match against the Association and convert them into a real launchpad for improving results. The team's next match is against league leader Union of Annaba, which promises to be a challenging encounter. Zawi stressed the importance of preparing well for this match to confirm the team's progress and capitalize on the point earned away from home.

The team's morale has been boosted by their recent comeback victories, and they aim to carry this momentum into their next match. The players are eager to achieve a positive result, which would allow them to continue improving their standing in the league and gain additional confidence after a slow start.

In other news, the team is expected to welcome back winger Harari, who has recovered from an injury. This will provide Zawi with more options for the upcoming match against Union of Annaba. Meanwhile, the team's management has refused to grant the players a break due to the tight schedule and the upcoming match.

The team is still reeling from the news of the passing of Rached Boudiaf, the team's president. A special assembly will be held in the coming days to elect a new president. Despite these challenges, the team is focused on their upcoming match and aims to achieve a positive result.

The match against Union of Annaba is scheduled for this Tuesday, and Tlaghma's coach is determined to make a good impression. With the team's recent performances and the return of key players, there is a sense of optimism surrounding the match.
