Belgian Paul Put, head coach of the Uganda national team, expressed his admiration for the Moroccan national team's midfield, likening it to a machine, during the friendly match between his team and the "Atlas Lions."
Speaking at the press conference following his team's four-nil defeat to Morocco, Put said, "To be honest, I didn't see any weakness in the Moroccan national team."
He continued, "We had prepared for the match, but our opponents were like machines. In midfield, Amrabat controlled everything, and we don't talk about him enough to do him justice."
The Uganda coach concluded his statement by saying, "We were too soft, and we respected the opponent more than we should have."
