The Tunisia national football team struggled in the Africa Cup after drawing with Mali 1-1, and the chances are becoming harder every day, but hope still exists. The team's offense was absent against Mali, and they did not offer much on the attacking level, as for 90 minutes we did not see even one shot on goal, except for the one that resulted in the goal. The main reason for this is the lack of connection between the lines in many moments of the match, and the long time it took to move the ball from the back lines to the front lines, with the speed of the Malian team, all of which made most of the Carthage Eagles' attacks without real danger. The Tunisian defense was also very naive, with three defenders and the fourth behind them in front of one attacker, the natural result of this situation is to lose the ball without great pressure. Mohammed Aboutrika, the Egyptian Al Ahly legend, added that Ali Maaloul is a treasure that is not being utilized in the best way, and if the goal of Jalal Qadri was to keep Maaloul as a substitute against Mali to strengthen his team defensively, then the goal of the opposing team came from the side of Maaloul's substitute, Ali Al-Abdi. Offensively, it was possible to use Maaloul better against Namibia, and focus on his side, which got the lowest percentage of the total number of Carthage Eagles' attacks, with 30.5% of the total attacks, compared to 38.2% for the right side in Wajdi Kechrida, and 31.3% for the depth. It is true that the Al Ahly player made a mistake in Namibia's goal in the first round by advancing to cover the wrong side, and caused the absence of control over the owner of the goal header, but he was the closest to cover after the ball arrived at that place. The Tunisian team lost the ball 124 times in the match, which is a very large number, and they were gentle in their pressure to regain it, so the natural result was Mali's control. Now, the Tunisia national football team is waiting for the last round of the group stage, where they will face South Africa, and winning is the only dream for the Tunisian team to achieve qualification for the next round.
