Already not doing well before the international break in March, the Algerian international has not regained his level since then, despite a long break. The facial injury – and the protective mask he has worn since then – incurred in the selection does not help the situation, obviously, but cannot in itself justify this drop in level.
The accelerations are less rapid, the dribbles no longer pass, the sense of placement has disappeared, unlike what happened in the classic phase. Amoura is in a bad situation; like his team. But he cannot be satisfied with the matches played in anonymity. Blessin released him in the 81st, but should have done so twenty minutes earlier. Amoura must force herself to give more during a final round that demands more. And his whole team, with him.
