round robin tournament determining the African champions and the
qualifiers to the 2009 FIVB World Championship.
Egypt vs. Algeria
Egypt regained the original performance one day after losing
against Tunisia since 24 hours and swept Algeria 3-0 (25-22,
25-17, 25-17) in 74 minutes. Egypt played their best match in
the competition in attacks and defense specially the setter
Ahmed Kotb and the opposite Moustafa Idris who scored 8 points
in the match and also did a lot in defense. Egypt improved their
record to 3-1 and finished their matches with 7 points while
Algeria dropped to 1-2 with 4 points.
Egypt head coach Reda Elghazale said that his players were
different quality in the match than against Tunisia. “I know
that the problem of my players was the lack of experience
because they trained for only three monthes before the
competition and when they are under pressure they lose the
concentration. Today we were better in defense and attacks
specially after we won the critical first set.” He said
Algeria head coach Abdelhakim Djehiche was sad because of the
players’ performance and the referee decisions. “I think my
players lost their concentration when the referee had some
decisions and after they lost their concentration to lose easily
the second and third sets.” He said
The Algerian players were more concentrated as the wing spiker
Sofian Haichour did well in spiking from position 4 with the aid
of the strong middle blockers. Algeria used also the frequent
mistakes of the Egyptian players in reception and serving to
lead 8-3 at the first technical timeout (FTT). Egypt players
regained the rhythm as the opposite Moustafa Idris and the left
attacker Eslam Aboulhassan sent their strong hits to lead for
the first time 16-15 at the second technical timeout (STT). By
the time the Egyptian players became more aggressive in attacks
to finish the set 25-22.
The Egyptian players kept their momentum in the second set as
the setter Ahmed Kotb led the combinations by the net and used
the wing spikers Amr Elsakkar and Aboulhassan as well as the
impermeable block of Mohamed Elaskalany and Mohamed Elmahy to
widely lead all through the set. Although Algeria tried to come
back when Egypt led 16-8 through improving the backline defense
and the reception they couldn’t catch the set as Egypt went
through to win 25-17.
The third set showed also Egyptian domination through the
efficient blockers and the strong services that disturbed the
Algerian block and backline defense. The Algerian players
facilitate the duty also with the frequent reception and digging
mistakes that cost them to lose the set 25-17 and Egypt won the
match in straight sets.
Tunisia vs. Burundi
Tunisia continued their clean sheet and pulled of their third
victory over Burundi 3-0 (25-23, 25-19, 25-13) in 65 minutes.
Burundi surprised the audience with the highly motivated
performance in the first set and the team was near to win the
set that was won by Tunisia narrowly 25-23. The Tunisian players
took the match seriously in the second and third sets when their
big gun the opposite Brahim Besbes sent his unstoppable hits
from position 2 with the aid of the combinations from the
skillful setter Mahdi Sammoud who was the main factor of the
victory. Tunisia improved their record to 3-0 with 6 points from
three matches while Burundi dropped to 1-2.
The Tunisian head coach Lotfi Ben Slimane referred the low
performance in the first set to the psychobiological aspect
after the big victory against Egypt in the previous day. “We
played the most difficult set in the competition during the
first set against Burundi when they led many times and were more
serious in defense. I think this team is very promising if their
players got enough training in future. This is a usual reaction
in all the Arab players; the performance is usually low when
they are sure of the victory. I will ask my players to
concentrate on the last match tomorrow against Libya because the
competition hasn’t finished yet.” Slimane said.
On the other hand the Egyptian head coach of Burundi Ahmed
Elgazar was proud of his player after the match because they did
well as a whole although they didn’t train for a long time. “I’m
happy with the spirit of my player and we were near to have a
big surprise if we won the first set. I changed some positions
as I played with the second setter Briand as a middle blocker to
adjust the block and he succeeded in his new position. I’m still
dreaming to have a big surprise tomorrow against Algeria.” He
said
The first set went point by point all through till the draw
23-23 when Besbes and Mohamed Othmane settled the situation to
their team 25-23. The Burundian star innocent Irdukunda was also
one of the stars and ended the match and the best scorer of his
team with 14 points.
The Tunisian players returned back to their concentration in
the secondd and third sets and improved their block against the
Burundian attacks but finally they depended on the opposite
Besbes to finalize the match as he came as the match best scorer
with 16 points. |

Tunisia head coach Lotfi Ben Slimane expressed his happiness
due to the affectivity of his players to apply his strategy. “I
asked my setter to use the wing spikers at the extremes of the
net and he succeeded to do that. I think also we used well the
spike services to disturb the Egyptian weak defense.” He said
Egypt head coach Reda Elgazale was extremely sad because his
players didn’t apply his strategy. For the second day in a raw
he left the hall without taking to his players.
Tunisia had the upper hand at the start of the match due to the
unstoppable hits of the opposite Brahim Besbes from position 2
and they led 8-3 at the first technical timeout FTT. Egypt
started to arrange the block against the Tunisian attacks as the
centers Mohamed Elaskalany and Mohamed El Mahy did well to score
successive points that decreased the point deficit gradually but
again the Egyptian backline defense had some mistakes that
allowed Tunisia to organize the counter attacks through Besbes
and Arbi Benabdallah to continue leading 16-11. Tunisia
overwhelmed the net action completely through their better block
and attacks as Besbes led his team to win the first set 25-17.
Tunisia started the second set in the same rhythm and sent
their razor sharp spike services that weren’t tolerated by the
Egyptian team and Tunisia led 8-3 at the FTT. Although the

Tunisian wing spikers and succeeded to lead for the first time
at a technical timeout 8-6 due to the adjusted block of Hussein
Mostafa. Tunisia regained their rhythm using the spike service
of Besbes and Ben Abdallah to regain lead 16-14 at the STT.
The Egyptian players lost their confidence for a while to allow
Tunisia to use their mistakes and widen the score to 23-17. The
Tunisian coach made some substitution to keep the rhythm where
the substitutes did also a good job to win the set 25- and the
match in straight sets.
Burundi vs. Libya
The promising and more enthusiastic Burundi team cruised past
Libya in a thriller encounter 3-1 (22-25, 25-20, 26-24, 25-17)
in 98 minutes. Burundi improved their win- loss ratio to 1-1

team captain Innocent Irdukunda were the stars of the match ad
played a great role in this victory. The Libyan spiker Mohamed

results of his short work. “I’m happy to win the match against a
strong opponent,” Said Elgazar cheerfully. “I think the big
spirit of my players was the cornerstone of this victory. Now
I’m looking forwards to win against Algeria and Tunisia to
compete for the second position.” He added firmly.

match in a raw and left the hall immediately after the match.
Libya players were steadier in their defense and attacks at the
beginning of the first set so they lead the set due to their
better reception. After Libya led at the FTT and 16-12 at the
STT due to the efficient spikes of Mohamed Abodabbus, Burundi
came to the match after they deployed their solid block of
Nderagakura and Dushime yves to draw and lead for the first time
19-18. Libya came back and succeeded to win the critical points
of the set to win 25-22.
The second set showed better performance from Burundi team
specially the team captain Innocent Irdukunda who sent his
rockets from position 4 till they led 8-7 at the FTT. Libya
struggled to come back but Burundi players became more motivated
to score and to win the set as the setter Patrick Bizimungu did
well to organize his team’s attacks to win the set 25-20 and to
level the score 1-1.
The third set was very exciting as it went point by point and
the score kept near all through till the draw 23-23. Burundi
again used their big gun Irdukunda to finalize the set 26-24.
The highly motivated Burundi players fought for each ball in
the fourth set and tried their best to stop the emergence of

first set and then they came back to win easily the second and
third sets. “I think the period of preparation was not enough
for my players so it was apparent specially in reception which
was our big point of weakness.” He said. “We changed our
attacking strategy many times depending on the centers for some
times then on the wing spikers in other periods.” He added.
Libya Head coach Toufik Mansouri was more satisfied with his
players than in the first match. “We played better today because
the players get more improvement by the matches due to our weak
preparation. I’m happy today with the steady performance of my
center Mohamed Abodabbuss, he was my best player in the
competition till now.

from both teams. Libya improved their block through Mohamed
Abodabbuss and Wassim Altaloua than their first match against
Egypt so Libya led at the first technical timeout (FTT) 8-6.
Algeria came back through the strong left attackers Raouf Nedjar
and Walid Zouai and with the better reception they went through

Tunisian team comes as one of the most favorite teams in the
competition due to their good preparation program during the
last six months. They played in a local tournament last month
with the Tunisian Junior team, Algeria and Kazakhstan, followed
by a stoppage time due to the school program. The Tunisian team
resumed their preparation since a month through a local camp.
The Tunisian coach Lotfi Ben Slimane said that he wants to get a
World championship slot and to win the Keep the African
championship Tunisian. Tunisia had the record of number of
victories at this age category.
The last competition runner up Egypt had a long term preparation
through a camp in India last September followed by a camp in the
Olympic Center in
Cairo
and finalized their preparation through some friendly match
against Kuwait first team as they played twice against them.
Egypt Head coach Reda Elgazali was optimistic to win
the title in presence of a great competitors Tunisia and
Algeria. “We prepared the team well for the old date of the
competition in September but we tried as far as we can to regain
thr rhythm now through the last camp. The Libyan team had a
short preparation for a week after
the collection of the players from the different provinces of
Libya as the Youth league didn’t start yet in Libya till now.
Algeria comes also as a great favorite owing to the new strategy
of the Algerian Federation that gives a special interest to the
young teams of both genders. The Algerian coach Abdelhakim
Djehiche said that his team was formed since a year and prepared
through some friendly matches against the local teams.
The competition will be held in a round robin format between the
five participating teams. |
