Mohamed Wahbi, coach of the Morocco national team, expressed his satisfaction with the performance of the 'Atlas Lions' against Lesotho, as they secured the match with two goals without reply, achieving their second consecutive victory in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification and raising their tally to six points.
Walid Regragui explained during the press conference after the match that the encounter was not easy, especially given the surrounding conditions. He pointed out that the pitch did not help the Morocco national team to present their usual style, which forced the players to deal realistically with the course of the match and adapt to its circumstances.
The national coach noted that his players maintained their focus and discipline throughout the match, explaining that scoring early would have given the team more space to control the game. However, the group ultimately succeeded in achieving the desired outcome and finished with a clean sheet.
Walid Regragui emphasized that the importance of the victory does not stop at securing three points, but also extends to providing opportunities for several players to gain additional minutes, which gives the coaching staff broader options and helps continue the development of the group.
The Morocco national team coach emphasized that the team is on an upward trajectory, highlighting several positive indicators that emerged during the two matches, alongside some aspects that require further work and correction before upcoming challenges.
Walid Regragui discussed the upcoming program for the national team, explaining that the 'Atlas Lions' will face Niger in two matches as part of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification, before taking on Gabon. This is part of new steps to continue working on and improving the players' cohesion and performance.
The national coach concluded his remarks by stressing the need to continue working with focus and seriousness, considering that earning six points at the start of the journey represents an important boost for the Morocco national team, while also emphasizing the importance of improving performance and addressing the shortcomings that appeared in past matches.
