Tunisias rare attack

June 21st, 2006 | By: Bessam | 5 Comments »

In the first 2 games of this World cup Tunisia has only been able to take 10 shots. This is the lowest of all teams after 2 games. I am hoping that they can have at least 10 shots in the next game. Nothing short of a Victory against Ukraine is good enough for the second round. Both teams are wary of each other.

I had enough of Tunisias 50 minute defensive spells where im about to have a heart attack each time the other team shoots. I want to see an aggressive, attacking style with constant presssure on the other team. Just Like what Spain did after they were down by one. I like it how Spain never changes styles whether they are down 1 or up 3, they just keep attacking. I wouldnt mind Roger Lemerre expirementing with a different formation. Or new players that we have not seen yet. No lead is safe really as we have learned in the first 2 games.

What can Tunisia do to improve its chances against Ukraine?

first of all, Boumnijel has to riede the bench this time! He is the reason Tunisia has only one point. Second, Lemerre has to playat least two strikers( Jaziri, Santos or Guemmdia). Furthermore, Jemmali has to play at his position, he was voted the best right defensive back in the french league by his peers. Trabelsi should play in the midfield so he could improve the transition, a weak point in the first two games.

Tunisia has nothing to lose, the pressure is on Ukraine to play for the tie and it’s a safe bet they will reinforce their defense against the eagles.

Ukraine will play for no tie, but they get their defender back after red card so defence will be a priority.

I agree Sarge with all of what you said. We tried the other way, its time to mix it up and try new things. These things are not even much of a risk either. Lemerre said the quality of the players on the bench is very close to the starters. Trabelsi should play midfield he loves running there anyways and he has an excellent player behind him in Jemmali

“first of all, Boumnijel has to riede the bench this time! He is the reason Tunisia has only one point.

That s not true, Bounijmel saved us at least 5 times during this one match only. He did only one mistake and that s the goal we had. By the end of the match the defense just left a too many spaces to those motivate talented spanish. All french newspapers qualifie him as a hero as Jaziri was the man of the match…

Second, Lemerre has to playat least two strikers( Jaziri, Santos or Guemmdia).

-That s right

Furthermore, Jemmali has to play at his position, he was voted the best right defensive back in the french league by his peers. Trabelsi should play in the midfield so he could improve the transition, a weak point in the first two games.

Jemmeli was not very convincing on his first match didn t look so motivated.I Was defending him at the begenning( my tunisian friends told me he refuse to play with tunisian team before, but seeing his over 30 but when i saw what he was doing with the tunisian team….may be on the right hand side will he feel more confortable.he is not a “gaucher”

I will suggest too that Roger Lemerre keep Ayari, as he saved us and defended so well.
Nefti was very good too with chedli.Trabelsi he si very good were he is. The problem is not organization of defense it s that they loose it on the second part. They have to replace themeselves be convinces they can win. The mind do all the difference in this world cup…

The key here is to attack and attack without being sucker punched by a counter attack. So, we need Trabelsi on the right midfield which will enable him to ensure the quick transition from defense to attcak while relying on him in the case of losing the ball to get back quickly and help the defense, and frankly he is the only player that has the stamina to fulfill this role. Lamere should not take out Bouazizi when the team is leading, as we’ve noticed already in the previous two games that move only interrupts the midfield solidity. So far all the changes that Lamere made during matches only interrupted the teams efficiency. Lets hope Dos Santos will play along side the hard working Jaziri. Did you guys see how he made Puyol look like an average defender. If all avenues are exhausted, just send consecutive long balls to Jaziri and I am certain he will expolit a mistake in the defense. But, lets not forget that the Ukraine is a good team and it will take a lot to beat this team. Good luck guys.
