Morocco Coach: "Euphoria? There's No Such Thing"

Morocco's national team head coach, Mohamed Ouahbi, believes his squad shouldn't dwell on their 1-1 draw against Brazil, but rather shift their focus entirely to Scotland. The "Bravehearts" currently lead Group C after a 1-0 victory over Haiti, and their upcoming clash with Morocco could be crucial in determining the top spots in the group. "We can't forget the Brazil match, but we must move on to Scotland. We have one point, they have three. Euphoria? There's no such thing. The players know it, we know it. We need to be even better in the next game. We will develop our play and our level," Ouahbi stated.

Midfielder Azzedine Ounahi asserts that the African team aims to surpass their performance from the World Cup in Qatar four years ago, where they reached the semi-finals. "We know this World Cup will be longer than Qatar 2022, and we'll need to perform well throughout the tournament. We didn't come here just to play one great match against Brazil. We want to go further than we did in Qatar," Ounahi declared. The Moroccan team, set to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Portugal and Spain, famously defeated Belgium, Spain, and Portugal on their path to the final four in 2022.

This time, however, the "Atlas Lions" are no longer underdogs; they are clear favorites against Scotland. "We all know we need a good result. We have 40 million Moroccans behind us. We have a lot of talent, a full squad, and we hope to be better than in Qatar. We aim to go as far as possible. Tomorrow's match will be more important and tougher. Scotland has three points, we have one, and we cannot forget that. We must win to make the third match against Haiti easier for us," the midfielder added. Morocco faces Scotland tonight at 1:00 AM Bulgarian time, with their final group stage match against Haiti scheduled for June 25th.
