All that matters to me is it’s that tomorrow I’ll face the best team in the world and work to win.” Recragui also described the French coach as one of the best coaches in the world. To learn from them and all that’s important for us is to focus on the pitch.” .
The Morocco manager explained that one of the most important factors in his team’s success is the strong family ties between the players, and he said in this context: “For me, my father and my wife are with me, as are the players. It gives us strength in matches.”
