Rare are the times when the imperturbable “blood and gold” club finds itself in such a delicate situation at the start of the season. After the semi-failure of the first day (2-2) in front of ASSoliman, victory becomes “imperative” facing USMonastir. But how do you get there?
Mouïne Chaâbani and his players now have an obligation of result and good performance in order to be able to reconcile with their supporters after the stumbling of the first day (2-2) in front of ASSoliman in Radès itself.
The buyout operation will have to start this afternoon at the Ben-Jannet stadium against the USMonastirienne.
The Monastirians at home will undoubtedly be a hard bone, very difficult to handle. The Tunisian Cup final they won at the end of the past season at the expense of Esperance is there to confirm this apprehension. But at the same time, this setback, still going through the throats of the large Esperantist family, could constitute an important catalyst for the “Blood and Gold” who want, at the same time, to take their revenge on this monastiran team which has been amazing since. two seasons already.
No to stubbornness!
However, we are already asking ourselves the question: will Esperance at the start of the season, which has disappointed in front of ASSoliman, be capable of such a feat, especially since it will be dealing with a formidable client?
In view of last Sunday’s meeting, we are already wondering who will be able to transform the many wasted scoring opportunities with the required success?
This is also the major problem that still stands in front of Mouïne Chaâbani who, with another setback, would risk being in the hot seat for good this time.
Even Hamdi Meddeb, who has protected him so far as a sign of recognition for the two historic seasons of 2018 and 2019, could part with him without hesitation in the event that the failure continued to fuel the anger (which is already raging) among all. fans of the oldest Tunisian clubs.
Suddenly, Mouïne Chaâbani must put aside his “stubbornness” and reconsider his choices, both in terms of men and that of the game system.
And it would seem that, already, the Esperantist helmsman intends to put on the bench of substitutes some “branded executives” who are at the end of the roll and unable to be efficient, like Khénissi, Chamam and even Ben Chrifia.
These three big names of the Bab Souika club need some time to recharge their batteries and must give way to other players, able to change the look of the team.
Thus, we could start to see Farouk Ben Mustapha at work in the cage, Mohamed Ali Yaâcoubi in place of Khalil Chamam and Mohamed Ali Ben Hamouda at the forward post. Just with a little “thumb-inch” like this, the following resultra without a shadow of a doubt, if only with regard to the performance of the team. It is because there is no shortage of alternative alternatives in the rich workforce of Hope.
Ben Khalifa, already injured
On another level, we will have to wait some time before seeing the newcomer Nassim Ben Khalifa at work. Indeed, the latter has just contracted a muscle injury which will force him to rest for about a month.
It would have been liked if the expected reshuffle in Monastir concerned, in the first place, this Tunisian-Swiss which is preceded by a good reputation. But bad luck decided otherwise.
