El Taïr: 'We Played for Ounajem in Second Half, Self-Control is Key'

Hilal El Taïr, coach of Hassania Agadir, commented on the red card incident involving Mohamed Ounajem during the team's 2-2 draw against Difaâ Hassani El Jadidi in the 19th round of the Professional League, advising players to exercise self-control.

El Taïr stated in the post-match press conference: "In the second half, we played for Ounajem, who received two yellow cards in less than 10 seconds, which is a new record."

He added: "If there is any advice I want to give to myself, to the team's players, and also to the opponent, it is self-control, avoiding haste, as nervousness spoils the enjoyment of the game."

He continued: "I do not object to the referee's decisions; he was a good referee, as was Hamza El Fariq in the VAR room. However, the red card was not deserved."

Ounajem had caused controversy in the Hassania Agadir and Difaâ Hassani El Jadidi match after refusing to leave the field in protest of the referee's decision to show him two yellow cards in quick succession.
