It is a great honor to see players like Chikhaoui and Chermiti in great teams in Europe. They deserve to be supported. I wish them success and luck. I liked to see Chermiti with l’etoile in their match agains CA in Sousse but after all it was a great match from both teams. They both played well. I hope ESS win their match against Asante Kotoko in Sousse on Sunday which will be after 1 day 19 hours and 24 minutes from now. I hope CA also win their match in Egypt. Our football teams make one great football team and that is THE NATIONAL TEAM OF TUNISIA. I hope we will see a good match agains Kongo next Wednesday. Good luck for our players, our teams and our great National Team.

I don’t think he still injured..but he is in the physical recovery process. He’s training and running alone (which is already good news to know he can run) and it seems that FC Zurich don’t want to push him to an early come back that might hurt him later. If it was up to me I’ll do the same thing and make sure he takes enough time to recover. One more thing, Chermiti’s move to Hertha Berlin reinforces my belief that Chikhaoui can play for any big team in Europe. If Chermiti got to Hertha Berlin, Chikhaoui can get to any top-notch club.

I think I would freak out if that happened. I knew Torino was very interested and heard whispers of Juventus here and there but I didn’t know the extent of it. I know the magazine 442. I’ve actually bought it in paperback a few times when traveling. It’s not bad at all. There’s a lot of teams wanting Chikhaoui but I’ve yet to understand whether he’s still injured or not. He’s listed as such and has already missed games for Zurich but it might be one of those situations where its listed officially as injured but he’s not…I really really really want him to be fit for the France friendly. Not to mention upcoming qualifiers. He changes so much simply by being on the field. Thanks for the heads up my friend.

Hey Rami there are some rumors circulating about Chikhaoui possibly joining my favorite team Juventus. I hope this can be true. In a magazine called 4-4-2 (you can find it online) as of August 5th 2008, they said that Juve is searching for a replacement and a successor of Pavel Nedved. They said that Juve was interested in Stankovic, but since Mourinho came to Inter, Stankovic won’t be going anywhere. During a meeting with Club Manager Jean Claude Blanc and Sporting Director Alessio Secco, coach Claudio Ranieri brought up again the name of Chikhaoui into the conversation. Ranieri is known to be great fan of Chikhaoui whom he said has tremendous technical and physical capabilities. It seems that Juve will start the negotiation process with FC Zurich. The article also mentioned that town rivals Torino had a huge interest in acquiring Chikha, but they could not sign him due to the large asking price (no less than 10 Million Euros).

I see what you’re saying Momo but it’s hard to blame some of these players for having lofty dreams. As a player you should always aim for the superior level and show ambition. But the problem, as you noted, is mixing in some realism there. It’s hard for a young person to know their real capabilities. However, if you look at Tunisia compared to Algeria, we get a lot of dual citizens to come back and play for us while they don’t. This is proof that we’re pretty good at recruiting them and showing them that we can offer them things (playing time for example) that others cannot. As our stature in Africa grows bigger, this should only increase. I have no problem with anyone who wants to wear a Carthage Eagles jersey. If they show love and they’re good enough then they fit the bill, as long as they have some connection to Tunisia. That Eneramo rumor got on my nerves. Nothing Tunisia about him… With Santos it’s a little different since so many teams in the world take Brazilians and he’s proved his worth for us and also become one of us in a sense.

Achraf, last time I saw Benachour he looked like he had put on a few pounds. Hopefully he’s lost them. He can offer us something when he’s in top shape but if he’s not it’s not worth it. Number one thing I’ve learned watching international football is that a coach should never get caught up in recognizable names. The player in the best form at his position should play in any given game regardless whether he’s known or not. Questions of experience can come in but I like coaches who make calculated risks rather than sit with their arms crossed like Lemerre.

Do you guys think that Coelho will pick bennachour for his friendly match against Angola, since Lemerre is not here anymore? Benachour is such a great player
