Since the Algerian selection has managed to climb on the roof of Africa, thanks to the continental trophy it won in July 2019 in Cairo, several binational players now cherish the hope of joining the gang of national coach Djamel Belmadi. This is the case to say for Kelyan Guessoum, the central defender of Nîmes Olympique.
A player who has continued to shine since his first tenure in Ligue 1 where he is considered one of the best elements of his club. “My dad is Algerian and frankly I am very proud to belong to this nation. I hope I will one day have this chance to defend the colors of my country to make my childhood dream come true and make my family proud. Since I was a kid, I’ve been doing everything to be able to hang on to this African champion goal. “, he said in an interview with Le Buteur about the 21-year-old.
« I started to follow the Algerian selection since I was a kid. My attachment and my love for the selection grew even further after the victory of Algeria against Egypt and the goal of Antar Yahia. I cannot forget such a memory. “ he asserted. “My goal is to stay competitive and play as many matches as possible to answer coach Belmadi’s call. If he calls me I will not hesitate, I will go straight ahead, Inch’Allah. Playing with great players like Mahrez, Bennacer, and the rest would be a great thing for a youngster like me. “ he added.
By shining in this way, Kelyan Guessoum firmly believes in his lucky star: “I know that if I continue to play with Nîmes and that I manage to chain performances with my club, I will have a chance Inch’Allah to hope to join the national team. Afterwards, it really makes you dream to play for this great team and with great players. “
