Morocco’s National team coach Vahid Halilhodzic has spoken this Friday of the importance of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Achraf Hakimi during the training sessions.

The training sessions are part of preparations for the quarter-final in the 2021 African Cup of Nations (CAN).

The French-Bosnian coach praised Achraf Hakimi’s performance, especially during the current CAN, saying, “He can change the whole game at any time,” he said, adding, “For me, he is one of the best-talented players in his position,” he told CAF’s official website in a statement.

The PSG star has distinguished himself during the CAN games, following his good performance after scoring goals in Morocco’s game against Gabon, and against Malawi.

In the previous CAN game against Malawi, the international player Achraf Hakimi scored Morocco’s victory goal, ensuring the national team’s qualification to the quarter-final with a 2-1 score, and making him the “Man of the match.”

Morocco is set to play against Egypt on Sunday, January 30, in Yaoundé’s stadium, starting at 4 p.m. local time.
