Difficult outing on right flank
Valery registered two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 5-1 defeat against Sweden.
Analysis: Valery had a difficult evening at right wing-back in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to Sweden, delivering two crosses, neither of which was accurate, and struggling to make a meaningful impact at either end of the pitch as his side were overwhelmed by a Swedish team that exploited both flanks with pace and directness throughout the match. The wing-back found it difficult to cope with the threat posed by Sweden's left side in the first half, while his inability to provide accurate service going forward compounded Tunisia's problems in a match where they rarely troubled the Swedish backline in open play. His athleticism and ability to cover ground quickly give Tunisia an attacking option down the right flank that they have yet to fully utilize, and improving the quality of his deliveries will be key if he is to play a bigger role in the team's remaining group-stage fixtures.
