Morocco’s national team coach Walid Regragui has addressed midfielder Azzeddine Ounahi’s goal celebration against Tanzania, assuring it had nothing to do with the Egyptian team.
“Egypt has a great team and great players. They are an example for us and we mustn’t exaggerate these things, because respect is a duty. We have to stop stirring up these controversies”.
Regragui, in a statement to the Federation channel on Thursday said: “We have a lot of respect for the Egyptian people and the team, and we hope they win their match tonight.”
Prior to the Pharaohs’ game against Ghana on Thursday night, Ounahi posted a story on Instagram cheering for Egypt.
The player has previously faced backlash after making statements that “the Egyptian team don’t play big games, but know how to handle them.”
