are similarities in physical preparations and placing emphasis on the ‘spine’ of the team. Both base their preparations on the physical conditioning, and that’s good, because when you are fit, you don’t lose your concentration during the game.
What about the fans? Palace have impressive support. They were at the forefront of calling for safe standing and are really loud. Can we maybe draw a parallel with Algeria?
I think they were the best fans in the league last season. It’s really nice to play there. I love to play in England, I love England, because of this… They respect you and everything. But… Algeria are the best fans. It’s good to have the best fans in England and the best fans in the world. When you play and you have fan support, you can only enjoy football.
