Sectioui: 'Our Pressures Stem from a High Sense of National Duty'

Morocco national team coach, Tarik Sectioui, affirmed that the match against the UAE national team was not easy. He highlighted that the opponent is characterized by good organization and includes distinguished players, especially in the midfield and attack, with high technical capabilities that allow them to penetrate opponents' defenses and create dangerous attacking opportunities.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, he said: “As I mentioned earlier, it was a difficult match against a well-organized team with distinguished players, especially in midfield and the attacking line, possessing high technical capabilities that allow them to create dangerous attacking opportunities.”

He continued: “The only way for us to win this match was to decipher the UAE national team's midfield, which is something we worked on extensively and succeeded in during the course of the game.”

He added: “We are working for the flag of our nation, and we thank everyone for what they have provided since the beginning of this journey until today. Despite that, the best is yet to come, God willing.”

Sectioui concluded: “The pressures we experience are not related to the match itself, but rather to a high sense of responsibility and national duty, because we have other dimensions that go beyond just the match result.”
