Morocco manager, Walid Regragui, has hailed his players in the World Cup campaign, saying they gave everything to guarantee the success the country recorded.
This is as he said the team would ‘support’ France, which eliminated them on Wednesday in the semi-final stage, against France in Sunday’s Qatar 2022 World Cup final.
Speaking on Wednesday night, Regragui expressed his pride in his team after their World Cup exit and revealed who he will be supporting on Sunday.
“We gave the maximum, that’s the most important thing,” he said. “We have shown the world that football exists in Morocco and that we have great supporters.
“We had some injuries, we lost Aguerd in the warm-up, Saiss, Mazraoui… but there are no excuses.
“We paid for the slightest mistake. We didn’t get into the game well, we had too much technical waste in the first half, and the second goal kills us, but that doesn’t take away everything we did before in the tournament.
“This was one step too far. We had too many players at 60-70% fitness. My players gave everything. They have gone as far as they could. We will support France now.”
