Algeria manager giving nothing away
Rabah Saadane has refused to give anything away over his tactical approach for Algeria's World Cup opener against Slovenia.
Algeria face the European outsiders in Polokwane on 13th June before coming up against their tougher opponents in Group C - England and then USA.
They face one final warm-up game against United Arab Emirates in Germany on Saturday and will be desperate to end a four-match losing streak.
But manager Saadane said: "All the teams have by now had three weeks or so of preparations.
"If you look at the results of some of the other African teams such as Ghana and Cameroon, they have also failed in warm-up games.
Ready
"So, the result of a friendly match is not important, as some think. All I can say is that the team will be ready for the World Cup."
Asked about his plans for the clash with Slovenia, he continued: "The 11 players that will start are in my head.
"But when you go to war, you never tell the enemy your plans.
"So, it's the same for me. All I can say is that I know the 11."
Mourad Meghni has been ruled out of the World Cup through injury and other key players such as Madjid Bougherra, Hassan Yebda and Carl Medjani have been struggling with niggles.
Ahead of the game with UAE, Saadane added: "I will not take any risk with the injured players."
