None of the five African nations were able to secure victories in the first round of group stage matches at this year's World Cup in Qatar.The Moroccan coach pointed to the fact of teams in the past wanting to play attacking football, but getting eliminated in the group stages.“Before, as Africans, we played spectacular matches in the World Cup, but we were eliminated in the first round.
“The goal is to go to the second round. I know some people will be mad at me because they want a show. But it is Saudi Arabia who have three points and not Argentina. We want to qualify, no matter how.” “The most important thing is to make our country proud. Already, we have done better than in 2018 by snatching a point. We will try to take as many points as possible to qualify.”
“Tomorrow [Sunday], we will be solid, we will try to pose problems and make Africa proud, since we represent it. The most important thing today is that Africa passes the group. We have to prove that we are capable of passing. It requires a European state of mind. If we pass the group, I think we will be very dangerous.”
