Alefa Barea from Madagascar
Alefa Barea from Madagascar
Alefa Barea from Madagascar ! This Thursday 12 November, the Malagasy national team will face the Elephants of Côte d'Ivoire. So far, the Barea of Madagascar are at the top of the classification of the CAN playoff matches 2021. But we must not forget that the Elephants are also former double winners of the CAN.
All eyes are on this match
All eyes are on this afternoon's match at the Arc de Triomphe Olympic stadium in Ebimpé. On television of course, because the African Football Confederation (CAF) ordered that both meetings be held behind closed doors. But maybe it’s better this way for the Bareas.
Fan zones throughout Madagascar
According to an announcement from the Presidency of the Republic, which will collaborate with Canal Plus and TVM, all major cities in the different regions of the Big Island will have their fan zones. These fan zones will be operational for the two matches this Thursday and next Tuesday.
A notch above
Only on the ground, it is seen as a very good deal for Bareas who will not have to undergo the pressure of 60.000 spectators, the capacity of this Ebimpé stadium.
But it remains to be seen the realities on the ground where theoretically the Elephants are a notch above. Imagine an attacking duo of Arsenal’s Nicolas Pepe and West Ham’s Sebastien Haller, and you will agree that the Malagasy defense will have a lot to do.
However, there remains an opportunity to be seized, that of closing the game in a system of 5-4-1. The main thing is to bring back the draw from Abidjan, and to make the Ivorians doubt in the perspective of the return match.
But nothing says that Carolus Andriamahitsinoro, placed alone at the point, is unable to score if he has the support of Hery Bastien or Dax Arohasina, able to throw it in a corridor.
Guerre
According to consistent suggestions, the defense would be better with three axials, notably Jeremy Morel, but also Rayan Raveloson whose talent cannot be denied. And in a war like this, Bapasy Razakanantenaina would be better suited to break the momentum of the Elephants attackers.
On both sides, Jérôme Mombris and Romain Métanire seem essential.
The middle four players depend on the choice of the coach, but we don’t think he’s going to leave Ibrahim Amada and Marco Ilaimaharitra on the bench, known for their combativeness. As we needed men ready to wet their jerseys, Bolida also remains a priority choice.
The ball is therefore finally in Nicolas Dupuis’ court, responsible for finding all the means, really all, to allow Barea to qualify. Because that’s what it’s all about.
