About the Moroccan national team – written by Badr Al-Din Al-Idrissi
The national team is on its way to face the Zambian national team tomorrow, Friday, in the third round of the World Cup qualifiers. Our minds are crowded with questions imposed by the state of anxiety that we experienced in the African Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire, and which became more prevalent in the friendly countries of Angola and Mauritania, the question of offensive efficiency, the question of the tactical system, and the question of positioning. Reserved in advance for the national team players, and the extent to which it matches their technical and tactical capabilities.
Questions do not only fall on our heads like hammers, but they also surround the coach and national voter, Walid Regragui, who is supposed to have found answers that comfort him and us.
It was painful, even surprising, that the language of goals was disrupted by the national team, especially in the last three matches. The Lions’ attack, despite the explosive bullets inside it, did not succeed in scoring even one goal in a playing area estimated at 270 minutes, and I think you remember that what we recorded in Three matches against South Africa, Angola and Mauritania, one goal, accidentally scored by an Angolan defender into his own net during our very, very small victory over Al-Ghazal. Perhaps the intensity of the pain reached its level with the national voter, Walid Regragui, who was frank and clear, as he blamed himself before his players, for this. The offensive retention that the national team has complained about to the secretariat since its return from the Qatari World Cup.
