Delivering a rock-solid performance in the high-stakes clash against Al-Gharafa SC, Adam Ounas reminded everyone that he remains a player capable of making a difference when it matters most. The Algerian international was lively and inventive in attacking phases, playing a key role in his team's victory in a match with major title race implications.

Ounas still thinking about the Greens

After the match, the former OGC Nice winger made no secret of his desire to return to the Algeria national football team.

"I try to give my all every match and we’ll see what is decided for the national team. I am always ready to be called up," he declared with determination.

Well aware of the fierce competition currently among the Fennecs, the 29-year-old is keeping his focus on club performances. Still, he has one clear goal in mind:

"Every player dreams of playing in a World Cup. If he calls me, great; if not, I’ll keep working. There are still more challenges ahead, we’ll see." A clear message sent to the coach.
