About the Moroccan national team – written by Badr Al-Din Al-Idrissi
If there are any keys to the great success that Walid Regragui achieved in the Qatar World Cup, and in which he became a living legend in popular memory, then the most prominent of them all is his complete control over the clothing warehouse, so that he gathered all its lions under one heart, so that this warehouse was not polluted, and its curtains were not broken or The outbreaks that might occur from time to time were made public.
The successful experiences of coaches who inspired their time, and who became football references for success, indicate that among the indicators of inspiration in these experiences is that the coach achieved, whether with an iron fist or charismatic force, to control every detail of the clothing warehouse, to extinguish fires and close hotbeds of tension.
From this, Walid Regragui, who first assumed the role of the national voter, provided a lot of evidence that he has great control over the clothing warehouse and closed spaces, to the point that the Atlas Lions are in this entire period of time, which will end the second year of Walid’s presence at the head of the Lions’ technical model. They did not produce any public reaction that would suggest any unrest of any kind. In addition, Walid highlighted the strong side in his control over the clothing warehouse and all closed spaces, and he forces certain players, led by Hakim Ziyech and Sofiane Boufal, to play against their nature, which is This meant, on the one hand, that the players were involved in Walid’s project, and on the other hand, that Walid had succeeded to a great extent in taming the players and harnessing themselves to serve the group.
However, what happened in the Zambia match, and the camera transmitted the angry reaction of Hakim Ziyech and Youssef En-Nesyri immediately after they were replaced within the 63rd minute by Sofiane Rahimi and Ayoub El Kaabi, if some described it as a regrettable and unacceptable incident, it represents a surprising departure from the text, but it is considered… This is an indicator that we must consider, because it indicates that there is a break in Walid Regragui’s relationship with his lions.
This may not have been a random or isolated incident, because we see a lot of it on football fields, players who do not like to be changed at times when they feel that they have barely reached the moment of inspiration, and they consider this a confiscation of their creativity, but when this happens within the national team Specifically, as he knew that his home was immune to these slides, this is evidence of the existence of a kind of rift that destabilizes one of the levers of the national team’s success in achieving the new generation of internationalism. Rather, he questions the coach and the national voter about the explanation he would give for this reaction, even if Both Ziyash and Al-Nusairi had apologized for their actions.
Whatever this interpretation of what happened, it mobilizes Walid’s moral contract with his players, just as it mobilizes the collective performance of the national team, which has not yet found the form that satisfies the fans, the form that matches the players with their rich technical talents, the form that leads to the conviction that… Walid traveled a significant distance in sewing tactical robes for the national team.
