  • Gourcuff À La Recherche D'un Onze Face Au Lesotho
    Sport / Sports Stage des Verts en Afrique du sud Gourcuff à la recherche d’un onze face au Lesotho © D.R. La sélection algérienne est à pied d'oeuvre depuis mardi à Pretoria en Afrique du Sud pour un stage préparatoire. Après une première séance d'entraînement effectuée mardi à leur arrivée sur la pelouse du Loftus Versfeld stadium de Pretoria, les Verts se sont entraînés hier mercredi après-midi au même endroit. C'est au cours de cette deuxième séance que Gourcuff devrait mettre en place l'équipe qui sera alignée dimanche prochain au Setsoto stadium de Maseru, face à la sélection du Lesotho pour le compte de la 2e journée (Gr. J) des qualifications de la Coupe d'Afrique des nations CAN-2017. Situation et circonstances obligent, l'entraîneur de la sélection nationale, Christian Gourcuff, va procéder à un remaniement de l'équipe pour cette confrontation. Les forfaits de Sofiane Feghouli et Nabil Bentaleb, et l'incertitude qui tourne autour de la participation de Ryad Mahrez, souffrant du dos mais présent au stage de Pretoria, pousseront le technicien breton à procéder à des changements au sein du onze habituel des Verts. Le revenant Walid Mesloub, qui retrouve la sélection cinq années après une première convocation sous l'ère de l'ancien coach Abdelhak Benchikha, devrait tenir sa place, d'autant qu'il a été encensé lors du dernier point de presse tenu à Alger par Gourcuff avant le déplacement en Afrique du Sud. Auteur d'un bon début de saison avec le FC Lorient, Mesloub (30 ans) va constituer ainsi une sérieuse solution de rechange au poste de milieu défensif, dans un contexte particulier pour l'équipe nationale.

    19 mai 2010 L’actu du jour Coupe du monde 2010 : les 24 Bleus sélectionnés Le gardien de but Cedric Carrasso, le défenseur Marc Planus et le milieu offensif Mathieu Valbuena sont sur la liste des 24 Bleus sélectionnés pour la Coupe du monde 2010, qui se tiendra du 11 juin au 11 juillet en Afrique du Sud. Ces trois joueurs ont créé la surprise, car ils n’ont jamais encore porté le maillot bleu de l’équipe de France ! Le gardien de but Cedric Carrasso, le défenseur Marc Planus et le milieu offensif Mathieu Valbuena.(©AFPPHOTO/NICOLAS TUCAT/PIERRE ANDRIEU/GERARD JULIEN) D’où vient le mot « football » ? Le mot « football » vient de l’anglais « foot » qui signifie « pied » et « ball » qui signifie « ballon ». Ce nom a été repris dans la plupart des pays du monde, à quelques exceptions près. Par exemple, les Italiens parlent de calcio, qui désigne un « coup de pied », et les Américains jouent au soccer. Le football est le sport le plus pratiqué dans le monde. Que dit l’actu ? Le suspense est terminé ! Enfin presque… À moins d’un mois du début de la Coupe du monde, la liste des 24 joueurs français sélectionnés a été révélée ce lundi. Grosse déception, donc, pour les 6 joueurs, qui figuraient sur la liste des 30 noms retenus, la semaine dernière, et qui se voyaient déjà sur les pelouses d’Afrique du Sud. Parmi eux, Hatem Ben Arfa, Adil Rami ou encore Mickaël Landreau. La liste finale ne devait comporter que 23 noms mais, suite à la blessure au mollet de William Gallas, le sélectionneur Raymond Domenech a choisi de conserver un bonus, en attendant de connaître l’état physique du défenseur.
