As a youth he was a right-back. Having featured 45 times for Morocco’s national team, but it was a disappointing period for the national team in his eight years as an international.

At the beginning of the job taking over the Moroccan national team He was humiliated by his hometown fans. Because he has very little team experience.

Football is a team sport. In your team you may have 11 Lionel Messi, but if you don’t have teamwork. It’s hard to be successful. Fundamentals of every coach It starts with a team working together. and building confidence in the players on the team Young coaches like Mikel Arteta, Xavi Hernandez or Julian Nagelsmann, among many others, exemplify that “the age of the body is not as important as the age of knowledge. and gaining trust.” Regraghi’s team was no different, building trust with those around him. And the missing player of the Vahid Halihotsit era is to call back some of the country’s best players.
Hakim Ziyech, who has a problem with Halihotsit about attitudes. and professionalism until falling out of the team He had previously stated that he would not return to play for the Morocco national team again. But in the end when the change occurs He was persuaded. and confidence returned to the team And the benefits fall directly to the national team. because he is the best player in the offensive line of this national team.

“I told all the players that we have to have a clear goal. We want to go through the group stage. After that we will look at the sky higher than before. and do whatever it takes to reach it. Every team that we meet must difficult. If they want to beat us. and if we can do that. Why can’t we dream of being champions?”
