The idea was to see how they could fit into our style of play and the principles we\u2019re trying to implement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Petkovi\u0107 believes his side could have scored more goals after dominating large parts of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe played the game we needed to and could have scored more goals,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe maintained a good rhythm overall, despite the numerous substitutions. I am satisfied with the level shown and, above all, with the adherence to our principles, even after the tactical adjustments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Algeria scored all three goals in the first half through Baghdad Bounedjah, Mohamed Amoura and Jaouen Hadjam, while Zimbabwe pulled one back in the 86th minute from the penalty spot through Tawanda Chirewa.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- \n\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t\t<span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in Local<\/span><span class=\"tags-links\">Tagged Algeria, Vladimir Petkovic, zimbabwe<\/span>\t<\/footer>\n\n -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Algeria #coach #Petkovi\u0107 #explains #side #benefited #Zimbabwe #friendly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Algeria coach Vladimir Petkovi\u0107 has outlined how his team benefited from their friendly match against Zimbabwe.
