Amrouche further disclosed that he already knows the players he will choose for the upcoming game, but quickly added that he also needs to add some young players who can display their talent effectively.
Adel Amrouche said, “We know the players, and we have a video of them. We know the next game is going to be a good test for some of these players. They are mostly APR versus Reunion Sport, but we also know the quality of other players.
“Local players too, we’ll give them all a chance to show us what they can do. The national team is open to all Rwandan players.”
The Algerian-born tactician also spoke about the category of players that would find space in his team and get opportunities to shine through the years.
“If you have players in the second division and he can play, I’ll invite him. That’s one thing people know about me. If we have a 16-year-old and he can play, I call him up.
“Like I did in Kenya, I’m not scared to try the youth, because you must build for the future. But you must be careful that you won’t be sloppy in youth development. We have to make do with what we have. We are here, and we’re going to stand together to finance our budget,” Amrouche projected.
