Coelho Picks 23 For Maputo Matchup: Chermiti Amongst Them

By: Rami | November 5th, 2009 | 31 Comments »

he's baaaackThis morning Humberto Coelho dropped the list we’ve all been waiting for. Given the critical importance of the upcoming match versus the Mambas in Maputo, if there was anything out of the ordinary on this roster then there would have been a lot of explaining to do.

In my estimation, we’ve thankfully been spared of such a scenario that would have instilled doubt in the team.

Instead, Coelho has assembled a balanced team filled with logical choices that were dictated by a criteria based on competitiveness and current form. While that may be an ideal that all coaches should subscribe to, we all know that that’s not always how these things work out. In any case, here are your Carthage Eagles who will be defending our World Cup chances next Saturday (November 14th).

Goalkeepers: Aymen Mathlouthi (Etoile), Hamdi Kasraoui (Lens), Jassem Khaloufi (CSS)

Defenders: Aymen Abdennour (Etoile), Sofiène Chahed (Hannover 96), Khaled Souissi (CA), Yassine Mikari (Sochaux), Radhouène Felhi (Munich 1860), Seif Ghzel (Young Boys), Ammar Jmal (Etoile), Karim Haggui (Hannover 96)

Midfielders: Khaled Korbi (Esperance), Haythem Mrabet (CSS), Houcine Ragued (Slavia Prague), Jamel Saihi (Montpellier), Oussemma Darragi (Esperance), Zouhaier Dhaouadhi (CA), Fahid Ben Khalfallah (Valenciennes), Chaouki Ben Sâada (OGC Nice)

Strikers: Sami Allagui (Greuther Furth), Amine Chermiti (Al-Ittihad), Issam Jomâa (Lens), Ali Zitouni (Antalyaspor)
