Algerian international Nabil Bentaleb expressed his full support for the Algerian national team ahead of the highly anticipated match against the Democratic Republic of Congo, scheduled for next Tuesday, as part of the round of 16 in the Africa Cup of Nations, which continues until January 18.

Despite the absence of the Lille midfielder from the Algerian national team in the current edition of the tournament, he was keen to send a strong message to the players and Algerian fans, expressing his great confidence in the team's ability to overcome the Congo obstacle and reach the quarter-finals.

Ben Taleb's message came on the sidelines of his team Lille's return to training after the winter break. He took the opportunity to congratulate the club on the New Year before expressing his excitement and optimism about the Algerian national team's journey.

Bin Taleb repeated the phrase: "One, two, three, long live Algeria," affirming his belief in the "Greens'" ability to secure victory. This message reflects his strong connection to the national team and his commitment to supporting them despite his absence from the continental competition.
