Yassine Bounou, the goalkeeper for the Moroccan national football team, expressed his regret at the inability to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup final, after the Lions’ defeat against the French national team with two clean goals this evening in the semi-final match.

Bono said, in statements after the end of the match, that the confrontation was not easy, and that the Moroccan national team dreamed of crossing to the final, adding: “We had confidence in our ability to win the match, but it was not written.”

The Lions’ Den goalkeeper added: “The players played a great match and gave tremendous effort. We created chances…we showed that we are a team that has personality.”

Regarding Aguerd’s absence and Saiss’ injury, Bono said: “Dari and Al-Yamiq played a great match. They did not make me feel the absence of Aguerd and Saiss. I congratulate them on their play, and this group has shown that it is able to compete with the biggest teams.”

“Today, the first goal made the match difficult for us, despite the fact we created chances and showed that the team has personality, before the second goal came.”

The goalkeeper of the Moroccan national football team confirmed that the latter will attend the ranking match to determine the third-place finisher against Croatia next Saturday, with the same seriousness as in the previous matches.
