‘It’s a match to test new players, we want to see what they are capable of, Algeria will be a big test for us, it’s a team that has been undefeated for 18 games and we will try to stop. It is a great team in Africa, it is champion of the African continent, we will try to put an end to their good results.’ Gernot Rohr
