The first African nation to reach the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup, Morocco national football team is ready lock horns with Croatia in the third-place match for the Bronze medal on Saturday.
This comes after the talented African team was beaten by the France on Wednesday.
All through the global tournament in Qatar, the Atlas Lions have been able to put up a superb performance that head coach Walid Regragui has made comment on.
Regragui stated that Morocco can be proud they are playing a seventh game at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, even though it is not Sunday’s final.
Speaking further, he said, “We would like things to have gone differently and played in the final,”.
“There is another game to play, we would like to be on the podium.
“I understand it’s important to finish third rather than fourth, but my takeaway is we didn’t reach the final. We wanted to play the final on Sunday, not play tomorrow.
“But I told my players this is our seventh World Cup game. If you told any Morocco fan we would be playing our seventh game on 17 December, they would be proud.
“Morocco played six World Cup games in 20-odd years and now we’ve played six games in a month – this is priceless. It’s as if we played two World Cups or even more, that’s beautiful from an experience point of view.”
