Regragui: "We Will Try to Settle Matters in Regular Time; We Have Good Penalty Takers and One of the Best Goalkeepers if it Goes to Penalties"

Walid Regragui, head coach of the Moroccan national team, confirmed that the technical staff is considering all possible scenarios, including resorting to penalty shootouts, should their quarter-final clash against Cameroon prove difficult.

Speaking at a press conference, Regragui stated, “I have been with the Moroccan national team for three years, and if we reach a penalty shootout, there are players who possess the ability to take these kicks.”

He added, “In the World Cup against Spain, we executed our penalties well, whereas we were not successful against South Africa.”

Regragui continued, “What matters to us is to settle the match on the field before reaching penalties, but we know that to go far in the competition, we must sometimes navigate through extra time and penalty shootouts.”

He concluded, “We have a goalkeeper who is considered among the best at saving penalties, and this gives us additional confidence.”
