Saibari: 'No Team Has Won Easily, Reflecting African Football Quality'

Morocco national team player Ismael Saibari spoke during the final training session before facing Mali about the "Atlas Lions'" preparations for the match, highlighting lessons learned from the first game and the importance of fan support.

Ismael Saibari stated in remarks to the Federation's website: "We are now working on the second match. We analyzed the first game, what we did well, and what we didn't do as we should have, and from that, we will seek to improve in the second match."

Saibari emphasized the importance of unity and a family spirit within the national team, as well as fan support in achieving results, stating: "We are one family here, and we know it could be a long month. So we try to enjoy our time together, and at the same time, we work hard."

He continued: "We see that all teams are strong, and no team has won easily. Everyone has had to fight and exert great physical effort, and this reflects the quality of football in Africa."

He concluded: "As happened in the first match, we had great fan support, and I hope the same will be repeated in the second match and in the same stadium."
