Chamakh also addressed a word to Moroccan coach Walid Regragui, congratulating him for having fulfilled his role as coach and leader to perfection.
❞ The players were fighting for Morocco, for their family… but you see they were also fighting for their coach. I think the message he conveyed may have transcended them, motivated them. I’m also happy for him because it wasn’t easy to take over the team three months before the World Cup. – Marouane Chamakh
