Tunisia manager Sami Trabelsi expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance  at the group stage of the ongoing 2012 Orange CAF Africa Cup of Nations, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. Trabelsi considered Group C where his side played as the group of death because apart from his team it featured co-hosts Gabon and Morocco, as well as the debutants Niger. Trabelsi said after group matches has good ideas about his team’s strength and weakness  and reckons his charges’ performance is going to improve with each game.
 
Trabelsi said his team has achieved their priority which was to qualify for the quarter finals “We achieved our goal before Gabon game when we guaranteed our qualification. We wanted to beat Gabon and win the group which was our second goal but that didn’t happen.  We dominated the game against the co-hosts but couldn’t make use of our chances”, he added.
 
“I gave the chance to some substitutes and that wasn’t because I underrated our opponents because we play every game to win, but it was risky to field some players who were vulnerable to suspension. We have in our team some good 23 players and it was an opportunity to use them too”, concluded the coach who won CHAN 2011 title with Tunisia.
 
Meanwhile the latest news from Tunisia team physiotherapist gave the manager a relief. It was confirmed that team’s goal machine Youssef Msakni’s injury was only a minor one. Msakni will join his team mates training session tomorrow as they prepare for the quarter finals clash. The talented midfielder netted twice in the group stage and also claimed the Fair Play award in the last group game against Gabon.
 
In other news Tunisia player Adel Chedli quit his team’s camp and traveled back home after the group stage concluded. Tunisian press confirmed the player’s decision to leave Gabon as he felt unwanted in the tournament after being kept out of the squad. Chedli wished his team mates good luck in the next matches, and stressed he has nothing but respect for his manager Trabelsi.
