Tunisia coach Faouzi Benzarti announced his final 23 man squad on 31st December and there was delight from the fans as he named a young squad that is full of potential. Benzartis expected to get his side playing the attacking football that fans of Esperance watch on a weekly basis, and he will certainly institute changes in the teams fluidity and efficiency that was sorely mi sing in the Paul Konerko Jersey qualifying campaign.Faouzi BenzartiBenzarti has the advantage of knowing the ins and outs of Tunisian football better than any foreign manager would and has already shown his faith in home-based players by naming 17 in his final 23-man squad.The Tunisian squad for the tournament looks like this:Goalkeepers: Ayem Mathlouti (Etoile), Adel Nefzi (Club Africain), Farouk Ben Mustapha (CA Bizertin) Defenders: Souheil Ben Radhia (Etoile), Ammar Jemel (Etoile), Bilel Ifaa (Club Africain), Khaled Soui si (Club Africain), Khelil Chammam (Esperance), Radhouane Felhi (1860 Munich), Karim Hagui (Hannover), Ya sine Mikari (Sochaux)Midfielders: Ali Nafkha (Etoile), Zouheir Dhaoudi (Club Africain), Chaouki Ben Saada (Nice), Ou sam Darragi (Esperance), Khaled Korbi (Esperance), Chedi James McCann Jersey Hammami (CS Sfaxien), Haytheim MRabet (CS Sfaxien), Houcine Ragued (Slavia Prague)Strikers: Ahmed Akaachi (Etoile), You sef Mskani (Esperance), Amine Chermiti (Al-Ittihad), I sam Jemaa (Lens)Benzarti will be looking for a strong team ethic and will expect big things from two of the countries biggest rising stars.Ou sam Darragi is a player that Benzarti knows very well from club football, the Esperance midfielder has enjoyed a Yermin Mercedes Jersey meteoric rise to fame in Tunisia thanks to a combination of grace, skill, and vision that has drawn interest from many European teams, including Inter Milan and Werder Bremen.Darragi| Tunisia's bright sparkThe 22-year old has already shown the public what he can do with some outstanding performances for the national side. He made an instant impact on his debut setting up I sam Jemaa to score against Kenya, scored his first goal against Mozambique before really catching the attention with a wonder goal against Nigeria. Darragis stunning chip over Vincent Enyeama in the final minute of the game gave Tunisia a 3-1 victory Eloy Jimenez Jersey and made him a vital cog in the Tunisia side. Darragi has the potential to be the player of the tournament if things go well for the Carthage Eagles.Darragi isnt the only youngster that Benzarti will have at his disposal; Club Africains Zouheir Dhaoudi will also provide creativity and trickery on the left wing. Zou wasnt a regular under the former coach Humberto Coelho but under the new regime he should expect to have more of an impact and the Cup of Nations could give him the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his abilities."Zou" has a chance to shineWhile Tunisia have a young and exciting squad it is mi sing one of their best players. Forward Ya sine Chikhaoui has been mi sing from the national team for over a year and Leury Garcia Jersey this years tournament has come too soon for the FC Zurich player which will be a huge blow for Benzarti.Two other players mi sing from the squad will also be Fahid Ben Khalfallah and You sef Mouihbi. Valenciennes midfielder Ben Khalfallah refused a call-up to the squad without giving any reason for doing so and Club Africain striker Mouihbi hasnt recovered from a lingering thigh injury.So Benzartis young squad will be looking to ease the disappointment of not reaching the World Cup finals with a good performance in the Cup of Nations. The potential of the side will excite fans back home and while this years competition might be a bit too early for them to win the competition they should be Chris Beck Jersey a side to fear in future tournaments.
