Majid Bougherra, head coach of Algeria's B team, emphasized that his team approaches every match in the Arab Cup as a "final," noting that the first goal of advancing from the group stage has been successfully achieved.

In his assessment of the upcoming quarterfinal opponent, Bougherra praised the UAE team, describing them as "good," and noted that their losses are usually by narrow margins, which requires his players to maintain extra focus and effort.

The Algerian coach emphasized that his team is facing a familiar challenge, which is the absence of several players from the squad ahead of tomorrow's match. However, he assured that solutions and necessary alternatives have been put in place to address these issues.

Bougherra emphasized the importance of recovery and physical fitness in this tournament, given the intense match schedule with a game every three days, expressing his hope that the team will be fully prepared for the upcoming match.

In concluding his statements, Bougherra denied any potential distraction for the players regarding upcoming commitments, such as some of them being with the national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, emphasizing that the team's current focus is solely on the Arab Cup.

He explained that the goal is for the team to be in its best condition and to demonstrate the required technical quality on the field throughout the course of the tournament.
