1) We don’t play to entertain or Ball Possession – we play to WIN

Morocco coach Walid Regragui has claimed that his side won’t play entertaining or possessional football. The sole ambition of the team is to win against France and reach the finals.

“We’ll play the way we know how. How possession makes you dream so much! 70% possession to shoot twice on goal? I’m going to tell Infantino to give a point to teams with more than 60% possession,” Regragui joked.

“We are here to win, not to have possession. If they give it to us then fine, we’ll see and we’ll do whatever it takes not to get beat. I don’t think they will let us have possession. Manchester City have 70%, but have you seen the players they have? With Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva you’re going to have the ball.”

4) France will DISRECPECT us – We will PUNISH them & make it complicated for them
The Morocco coach has issued a stern warning to France. He claimed that France’s win in 2018 has made him dream. However, Regragui doesn’t expect France to disrespect his side in the game. If France by any chance disrespects their opposition then he and his side are bound to make things complicated and punish the defending champions.
“They are the best. The France of 2018 made me dream. Didier Deschamps is the best in the world. I hope France don’t respect us tomorrow. If they do it will be more complicated.”

5) We are here to change mentality
Morocco is the only African nation to make it to the last 4 in the history of the tournament. With high hopes of African and the Arabian world on their shoulders, Regragui intends that he and his side are there to change the mentality

“I have told them that we have come to change the mentality of our continent. We didn’t get here by chance but I told them that we can’t be complacent. We’re confident and we’ve had the most difficult journey. We have been eliminated many times and we are still here. We are going to fight to move forward, for the African countries, for the Arab world. Our country respects all cultures, we are welcoming and sometimes we don’t ask for anything in return,” said Regragui.
