Vladimir Petkovic moved to calm the mood around Algeria after the 3-0 defeat to Argentina in their World Cup opener, insisting that the response must be collective before the meeting with Jordan.
Goalkeeper Luca Zidane came under pressure after the match, especially over key moments in the goals conceded, but the Algeria coach made it clear that he does not build his analysis around blaming one individual.
Algeria now enter the Jordan match needing a strong reaction to keep their group hopes alive, with faster ball movement and fewer defensive gaps among the main areas to improve.
