The Moroccan national team coach said: "When I see our team, we snatched a deserved draw from Croatia and beat Belgium and Canada, which has a good team and everyone admired it since the first match. We are realistic and we have a good team and we will deal with each match separately, we will regain our fitness."

He added, "And if we are at the top of our level, we can do great things. What I am trying to instill in the national team is that we resemble European teams in playing with African values and mixing them. I believe that this is the future football with African technical qualifications and the tactical rigor of the African teams, which makes it difficult to win." We.

And he added, "It is the morale of the players that matters to me. They trusted my qualifications and are fighting for their country."
