ALG : L’expulsion rocambolesque de Bouzok ( Mohamed.R)
Suspendu au verdict de la commission de discipline de la LFP après son exclusion rocambolesque face à l’Entente, le club belouizdadi attend de connaître le sort de sa recrue phare.
Les supporters retiennent leur souffle face à la menace d’une lourde sanction disciplinaire visant directement l’attaquant vedette Yousri Bouzok. La tension ne retombe pas autour de Yousri Bouzok. Depuis le coup de sifflet final de cette rencontre électrique, les réseaux sociaux et les plateformes numériques s’embrasent continuellement. Des vidéos compromettantes et de multiples clichés de la vive altercation survenue sur la pelouse du temple olympique circulent massivement, alimentant les débats et dressant un tableau accablant pour l’ailier belouizdadi. L’accumulation de ces preuves visuelles ne laisse guère de place au doute quant à la sévérité du rapport rédigé par les officiels, persuadant une large frange observatrice qu’une sanction exemplaire se profile inévitablement à l’horizon pour l’ailier du Chabab. chickenroadslot.lat
La direction monte son dossier de défense
Face à cette tempête médiatique et sportive qui s’abat sur leur joueur, les hautes instances dirigeantes du club ne baissent pas pour autant les bras. En coulisses, l’état-major belouizdadi s’active intensivement pour monter un dossier de défense solide. L’objectif avoué est de mobiliser tous les relais nécessaires et de faire valoir des circonstances atténuantes afin d’amortir le choc et d’éviter à Yousri une suspension prolongée qui pénaliserait lourdement les ambitions du groupe. La machine diplomatique est donc en marche pour tenter d’infléchir la décision des membres de la commission fédérale avant la publication officielle du verdict final.
Une mobilisation tous azimuts
La direction juridique du club multiplie les consultations au quotidien pour décortiquer minutieusement chaque ligne du rapport rédigé par l’arbitre principal. Les responsables du Chabab comptent bien exploiter la moindre faille réglementaire ou imprécision administrative pour plaider la clémence devant les membres de la commission. L’enjeu est de taille puisqu’il s’agit d’éviter un scénario catastrophe qui priverait durablement l’effectif professionnel de ses services précieux. Tout est mis en œuvre pour démontrer la bonne foi de Yousri Bouzok et atténuer la portée de son geste d’humeur survenu dans le temps additionnel de la partie. En fait, si le joueur a réagi violemment c’est à cause du tacle qu’il a reçu par le joueur de l’Entente de Sétif, Kamel Hamidi. Bouzok n’a pas apprécié que l’homme en noir ne brandit pas le carton.
Un casse-tête pour le staff technique
Dans le même temps, le technicien Nabil Maâloul s’attelle à préparer le terrain sur le plan purement sportif en envisageant toutes les hypothèses possibles. Même si l’espoir d’une réduction de peine subsiste au sein de la maison belouizdadie, l’entraîneur tunisien commence à échafauder des solutions palliatives pour réorganiser son groupe. Il s’agit de trouver les combinaisons tactiques idéales pour pallier l’absence de son atout offensif majeur lors des prochains déplacements périlleux qui s’annoncent déterminants pour la suite du parcours en championnat.

Mallett names the next Marx
Jan-Hendrik Wessels could be a valuable Bomb Squad member, says Nick Mallett, who expects Rassie Erasmus to select a new-look Bok team to face the Wallabies next up.
The versatile Wessels played off the bench in the 22 August Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series opener, with Deon Fourie and Gerhard Steenekamp since deputising for hooker Malcolm Marx and loosehead prop Ox Nché, respectively.
Erasmus has confirmed Wessels is in the mix as a deputy for Marx and according to Mallett, the 25-year-old should be the go-to No 2 for the one-off clash in Perth on Sunday, 27 September, or at least among the match-day replacements.
ALSO: Fourie’s fire still burns at 40
“I’m not sure why they’ve stopped investing time in Jan-Hendrik,” the former Bok coach said on the Talking Boks podcast.
“He’s the guy, for me, who is the closest to Marx. He’s a big, strong guy and must be close to 120 kilos. He’s very fast, he throws in well.
“I feel that he’s a guy who, if they really spent time with, he could sort of emulate a bit of what Marx does. He’s very fast and he could learn to be a very good stealer.
“They’ve used [Johan] Grobbelaar a lot and they brought Deon back into the mix. They’ve used André-Hugo Venter, he’s had one or two Tests.
“But Wessels, for me, if he concentrated on being a hooker, he’d be a very good Bomb Squad guy and assist us to dominate those last 30 minutes.”
SIYA: Rassie reminded us how powerful we are
Handré Pollard and Franco Mostert are expected to return from injury Down Under, while the likes of Aphelele Fassi, Paul de Villiers and Ntuthuko Mchunu set for game time with first-choice Boks needing a break.
“I would expect there to be quite a number of changes, maybe nine or 10,” Mallett said. “I’m not sure where Grant Williams is. Canan Moodie obviously needs a good run there.
“The guys have really taken knocks in this Greatest Rivalry series and have got through it, but that Australian trip might be a bridge too far for quite a few of those guys.
PLUS: ‘Boks came through with flying colours’
“It might be a sort of Argentina-type team, pretty much your back-up guys.
“[De Villiers] did so well and then, because of Siya [Kolisi] coming back and the need to look for a different style of replacement in Cameron Hanekom, he’s also missed out.
“There are a number of players who could do the job for us.”

Wallabies call up rookie playmaker for Boks
The Wallabies have handed an uncapped flyhalf a surprise opportunity against the Springboks for their one-off Test later this month.
Western Force pivot Harry McLaughlin-Phillips has been called up by coach Les Kiss to replace Carter Gordon, who suffered a fractured leg against Argentina earlier this month.
Meanwhile, outside back Jordan Petaia returns to the Wallabies squad for the first time since 2023 after an unsuccessful American football stint attempting to break into the NFL.
Australia will host the world champions in Perth on Sunday, 27 September before facing the All Blacks in two Tests.
The Wallabies are building towards the 2027 World Cup on home soil, with Kiss admitting there is still plenty of work to do.
“We’ve learned a bit more about ourselves as a group over the last four Tests and we know we still have a lot to work on to get to where we want to be,” said Kiss.
“South Africa have been the benchmark team in world rugby for a long time and we’re motivated by the challenge of meeting them in our own backyard in two weeks’ time.”

Springboks thrilled with SA support in US, hope Americans embrace rugby
Head coach Rassie Erasmus and captain Siya Kolisi said they were blown away by the support the Springboks received in the United States for their fourth Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Test against the All Blacks.
Over 68,000 spectators attended the match between South Africa and New Zealand at M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, with many in the crowd donning green and cheering the Springboks as they beat the All Blacks 43-28 to win the series 3-1.
This followed a warm welcome at the airport and regular interactions with fans in the week ahead of the game.
Erasmus was initially reluctant to expect a big attendance at the 70,000-capacity neutral venue. He told the media the Springboks had played in front of empty stadiums during Covid-19, and doing so would not be new.
As it turned out, there was plenty of support from South African travellers and expats, which bodes well ahead of the 2031 World Cup in the US.
‘So many South Africans’
“There’s a hell of a lot of people here and it’s awesome,” the coach said afterwards.
“It’s nice to have so many South Africans. I don’t know how they afforded it or how they got in here. But it’s awesome to go all over the world and there are so many South Africans.”
Kolisi added: “It was super special. On our way to the game, the amount of green jerseys we saw, the amount of people we saw lining up at Nando’s. It was crazy.
“At the hotel too, when we went to the captain’s run and today around the bus… That’s who we do it for. Those who can afford to come here and those who are home.”
The Bok captain said during a stoppage when the referee’s microphone stopped working, they soaked up the crowd singing and cheering for them.
“We are super grateful for all the people who bought tickets and travelled. Hopefully we made it special for them.”
Springboks hope rugby takes off in US
Erasmus also said he and his coaches were impressed by the quality of the facilities.
“The professionalism of how the hotel handled us with recovery and the food. They’re apparently used to getting seven buses to a match like this. We had one bus.
“The changeroom had 63 seats. I think we can learn a hell of a lot from getting rugby more professional.”
He said sporting codes and the media should work together to educate Americans about rugby, which can be difficult to grasp with all its laws if you do not grow up with it.
“If one can get that right, we would be in a lovely place.”
Kolisi also hoped the sport would grow in the US before the 2031 World Cup. He said seeing the passion of the South African and New Zealand fans would be a motivating factor.
“Also the manner that we played, and the respect that we have for one another as a team. I think it’s a game that Americans will enjoy.
“They love physical sport. My favourite sport is ice hockey because they have moments…” Kolisi chuckled.
“I really think the more teams get to play here and the more that is invested in their rugby, hopefully the more it will grow.”
