The head coach of Morocco’s U17 national football team, Nabil Baha, said that the previous matches at the U17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) “have boosted our confidence,” adding that “we will spare no effort to reach the semifinals.”
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday in Casablanca, ahead of the Atlas Cubs’ quarterfinal clash against South Africa, Baha said that preparations for the match are progressing smoothly, with a particular focus on analyzing their opponent’s strengths and weaknesses.
Emphasizing the importance of the team’s morale in such high-stakes encounters, Baha acknowledged that the South African team is strong with several talented players.
The U17 coach expressed confidence in his players and their ability to overcome the challenge, highlighting the quality of his squad, which includes players competing at the highest levels with top clubs.
However, Baha also noted that individual talent does not guarantee victory, stressing that the team which puts forth the most effort and makes the greatest sacrifices on the field will ultimately prevail.
Morocco will face South Africa in the AFCON U17 quarterfinals on Thursday at 8:00 PM (local time) at the El Bachir Stadium in Mohammedia.
