Algerian journalist Madjid Boutamin strongly criticized the Algerian sports media for not having put pressure on the coach of the Algerian national team.
Journalist Boutamin posted a tweet on his official social media page, asking: “Have our sports media become disciplined or submissive? Has he become so disciplined, that is, he no longer puts pressure on the national coach to announce the list and squad?
Boutamin criticized the way Algerian sports media treated national team coach Vladimir Petkovic, in contrast to his approach with former Algerian coaches Djamel Belmadi, Rabah Madjer and Rabah Saadane.
Boutamin was surprised by the lack of interest of the Algerian media in the language that coach Vladimir Petkovic uses during his press conferences, even when he speaks Italian, which almost no one understands, without anyone being embarrassed by the translation into French and not into the official language. language of the state.
Boutamin added in his tweet: “Have our sports media become submissive and lost their ferocity in debates and controversial issues to obtain information, or is it the calmness of the coach that is the cause ?
He continues: “Have our sports media become relaxed enough to respect the rules of absolute calm and not using the phone completely throughout the press conference, or have they become convinced that the former coach demanded? »
Boutamin was surprised by the silence of the Algerian media and their inability to discuss coach Vladimir’s decisions, despite his dissatisfaction with his technical choices and his marginalization of important players.
