This Saturday afternoon, Morocco wrote football history by dominating Portugal (1-0) and advancing to the semi-finals of the World Cup. A historic feat for the Moroccan selection. At the microphone of beIN Sports, coach Walid Regragui seemed very touched and recalled all the difficulties encountered since the start of the competition.
“We came across a great team with a lot of talent. We believed in it, we have many injuries with Aguerd, Saiss, Mazraoui or even before with Harit, Tissoudali, Louza or Masina. The guys come in and fight. Everyone fights, the public follows us. We had to write the history of Africa, we did it. It’s not a question of respect, we move forward with our qualities. We lost a lot of people, we hung on and we created a state of mind. Africa is center stage. I hope I paved the way for African coaches, we work, we progress. I want to thank all the staff, but it’s not over as I said.
