About the Moroccan national team – written by Badr Al-Din Al-Idrissi
We as Moroccans, like our Arab and African brothers, have great pride in what the Lions of Morocco have accomplished this particular season, as they are at the forefront of football events by achieving an unprecedented achievement, winning the most expensive and most luxurious titles in four of six continents around the world, an affirmation of Moroccan genius that does not stop at one specific continent. .
Of course, no sporting season, especially during the first twenty years of the third millennium, was devoid of a Moroccan football achievement, whether it was a collective or individual victory, on this or that continent, in this or that country. However, what happened this particular season was something of a The dream that we used to see as a mirage, and something of a fantasy that today has become a reality, not an impossible one. The Lions have had an exceptional succession of podiums. This is confirmed by what Arab and African analysts say on all media platforms and channels with absolute credibility and pride: Moroccans are the pride of the Arabs, Moroccans are the pride of Africa.
I am not here to demonstrate this Moroccan brilliance that defies all description, the titles that Moroccan stars obtain in many countries of the world, championship titles and cups, as they are too large for this corner to accommodate, but here I am talking specifically about the titles that have been achieved in an unprecedented manner in the largest Competitions on four continents.
If it was on the old continent, whose championships are universal, then Brahim Diaz was crowned with the Cup with Long Ears, and he contributed greatly to his club Real Madrid obtaining the 15th title, making him the fourth Moroccan to obtain the most glorious cups after Mounir El Haddadi with Barcelona, Achraf Hakimi with Real Madrid and Hakim. Ziyech with Chelsea.
Not only that, but the wonderful “Ayoubna” (Al-Kaabi) announced his unique achievement from his design, as he led his club Olympiacos to become the first Greek club to be crowned champion of a continental competition (Conference League), and with him recorded his name in the glory sheets in Greece, with the aim of winning the crown against Fiorentina. In the final match, with his eleven goals in the Conference League, as tomorrow before him, his colleague Youssef El Orabi, the legendary scorer for Olympiacos.
In a glorious way, Sufyan Rahimi will carry the Emirati eye to the Asian summits, when he gave him his second title at the level of the Champions League in the Yellow Continent, and he left in all the arenas something of his genius, which brought down the Saudi Al-Nasr and Al-Hilal and the Japanese Yokohama.
In his first season with Al-Ahly of Egypt, Reda Selim succeeded in achieving his big dream, by capturing the African Champions League title. Away from the three contiguous continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, the voice of Moroccan Oussama Al-Idrissi resounded, which brought back to history the name of the famous Moroccan traveler and explorer Sharif Al-Idrissi, as he achieved the title of CONCACAF Champions there in North America, after his Mexican team, Pachuca, defeated American Columbus in the final match that was known. Active and influential participation by Al-Idrissi, with a clean hat-trick.
With hats studded with diamond pearls, chests bearing medals of immortality, and shoulders carrying the most expensive continental cups, the Moroccan players emerged from their fabulous season, and many of them immediately entered the den of the Moroccan national team that aspires to achieve the same happiness, as it faces the teams of Zambia and Congo in succession, in the third and fourth rounds of the European Cup qualifiers. The world, and there is great hope that the Lions will achieve the full score in both matches, to be the most beautiful conclusion to the season of Moroccan genius that crosses all continents.
