The Carthage Eagles, Tunisia's national football team, have had a disappointing start to the CAN qualifiers, with a 1-1 draw against Uganda and a 2-2 draw against Botswana. This is a worrying trend for the team, which has a history of performing well in the qualifiers. The team's coach, Mouine Chaâbani, and the football federation have been criticized for their handling of the team.
The team's struggles have been attributed to a miscommunication between the football federation and the team. The federation had believed that the match against Uganda would not be counted towards the qualifying standings, as Uganda is one of the host countries. However, this was not the case, and the team is now paying the price for this mistake. The team's performance has been lackluster, with the players appearing to be unmotivated and unprepared.
The team's coach, Mouine Chaâbani, has been criticized for his selection of players. He has been accused of favoring players who play abroad, rather than those who play in the domestic league. This has led to concerns that the team is not representative of the country's best players. The team's captain, Yan Valéry, has been particularly criticized for his poor performance.
The team's struggles have also been attributed to a lack of preparation and training. The team has had limited time to prepare for the qualifiers, and the coach has had to work with a new group of players. This has led to concerns that the team is not cohesive and is struggling to gel.
The team's next match is against Libya, which will be a tough test for the team. The team will also have to play three of their remaining matches away from home, which will make it difficult for them to qualify. The team's fans are worried that the team may not qualify for the CAN, which would be a disaster for the country's football.
The team's coach, Mouine Chaâbani, has defended his team's performance, saying that they are going through a transition and that it will take time to build a strong team. However, the fans are not patient, and there are concerns that the team's poor performance will continue.
The team's struggles have contrasted with the success of the country's volleyball team, which has just won its 12th African title. The volleyball team's success has highlighted the contrast between the two sports and has led to calls for the football team to improve its performance.
