Nasr Fedjoud coach Samir Ghallab has identified reaching the Round of 32 in the Algerian Cup as a key goal for the current season. Drawing on the club's past experience, including their 2016 run to the round of 16, Ghallab expressed optimism about his team's potential. Reflecting on the recent regional-round victory over US Boukhadra, the coach credited his team's superior physical fitness in the final minutes for the result. Ghallab used the match to experiment with six changes to his starting lineup and highlighted the squad's psychological resilience, driven by a desire to dedicate the win to their injured teammate, Maatouki. While satisfied with the progress, the coach admitted concerns regarding offensive efficiency, emphasizing the need for a clinical striker to convert chances as they prepare for the national stage of the competition.
