The coach of the Moroccan national team, Mohamed Ouahbi, commented on the draw with Brazil (1:1) in the first round of the 2026 World Cup. According to the words of the leader, his team played a clear match, but after the final whistle, disappointment sank due to the loss of victory.

" We wanted to overcome, but that’s what football is like. I talked to the football players and felt that they were disappointed and even wanted to win."

Wahbi said that his team was not afraid to lose the power of football against one of the favorites of the tournament.

" We believe in them and in the character of our players. The stinkers were not afraid to attack, to lean forward and come out from under the pressure of the ball."

The coach also explained the decline in the pace after the break with the folding weather minds and the high intensity of the match.

" The replacements added freshness, and we began to eat better.

"

The mentor shared his impressions of the upcoming match against Scotland, reinforcing the dominance of the styles of his upcoming rival and Brazil.

" We especially appreciate that the Scots play very differently from Brazil."

Uahbi also raised the tie between his team and the finalist of the ChS-2022, declaring that his ambitions are significantly greater.

" “I want to go further,” said the coach.

After the first round, Morocco gains one point and continues the fight to reach the World Cup playoffs.
