Morocco not only secured three points in Bloemfontein but also allowed its coach to test some players and refine his selections. After triumphing over Lesotho (2-0) on Tuesday, Mohamed Ouahbi believes his players generally met the expectations.
The Atlas Lions coach particularly appreciated the control displayed against a well-organized opponent. According to him, the playing conditions required great technical precision to successfully navigate the Lesotho block.
“We took the six points, which is crucial. The goal was to start well. Of course, there are many positive aspects as well as elements we still need to work on and improve. We are happy with this trip,” he stated in comments reported by Le 360 Sport.
Beyond the score, this match fits into a broader perspective for Ouahbi. The upcoming fixtures should allow Morocco to continue its development, give playing time to deserving players, and experiment with various options.
Having already defeated Gabon (2-0) on the opening day, the Moroccans now have six points after two matches. For their coach, the key will be to maintain the same seriousness, regardless of the opponent.
