Morocco are not satisfied with a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup and are hungry for more coach Walid Regragui said ahead of their clash with world champions France on Wednesday.
"If we are happy just to reach semi-final and some see that as enough, I don't agree," Regragui told a press conference."The best team in the tournament, Brazil is already out. We are an ambitious team and we are hungry but I don't know if that will be enough," he added.
"We want Africa to be top of the world, but we will have to be strong to progress. We are not the favourites but we are confident - maybe that makes me mad, crazy? A bit of crazy can be good," he added."Everyone might think we are tired, they said that before the last games too, you can't be tired in a World Cup semi. Yes, we are still hungry," he added.
"We had perhaps the most difficult route to the semis. Every round people thought we would get knocked out but we are still here and we are going to fight to the end," he said.
