Regragui: Facing Central Africa will be a real test against a team that relies on defense

Street 20. Rabat

The national voter, Walid Regragui, confirmed that the match that will bring together the Moroccan national team with its counterpart from the Central African Republic, tomorrow, Saturday, at eight o’clock in the evening, on the field of the Stade Cerafé in Oujda, for the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations Morocco 2025, will constitute a “real test” against Cirkin’s opponent, inevitably. To the defense.

Regragui explained, during a press conference on the eve of the match, that “the most important thing remains the difference in the two teams’ playing styles.” “We will face a team that prefers a defensive style of play and low blocking, and we will have to find appropriate solutions and tactics.”

The national voter warned that “not exploiting all available elements and not respecting the opponent will make us suffer greatly.”

He added, “We know what awaits us tomorrow against the Central African national team,” noting that the match constitutes “an opportunity to continue the work that we are doing.”

He noted that “the preparation process went well.” We have doubled the training sessions. Two players also joined us who did not participate in preparation with the group, such as Osama Al-Sahrawi, who did not train with us for two full days.”

Regarding the call-up of Raja Athletic player, Youssef Belamri, Regragui confirmed that he is a “very smart” player and “adapts very quickly.”

“I know him well,” he said. But he must take advantage of this opportunity given to him, given the absence of Nassir Mazraoui, who is considered the first choice, and who may return to the team next November.”

He recorded, “I do not have any concerns about Belamri, whether on the mental or technical level. He will certainly provide his artistic touch, because we have players who prefer to play on the flanks.” With the presence of a player of Tina Belamri, he will undoubtedly provide solutions for the midfield. Youssef Belamri and Adam Azno are considered good players.”

The national voter explained, “I wish the team had been fully prepared, whether Shadi Riyad, Hakim Ziyech, Brahim Diaz, or even Noussair Mazraoui, but it is positive that this would happen now, and not immediately before the African Cup, in order to consider the available options and the players.” Who can be involved?

Last Thursday, the national voter revealed the final list of national team members summoned to participate in the two matches that they will play against the Central African national team on October 12 and 15 for the African qualifiers for the finals of the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025.

The Moroccan national team, which automatically qualified for the tournament, is in Group Two alongside the teams of Gabon, Central Africa and Lesotho.
