Shijal ChudasamaDecember 17, 2022Regragui feels that participating in seven World Cup games is priceless.
Walid Regragui, Morocco's coach, said on Friday that despite Morocco's failure to advance to the World Cup final, its players and supporters can be proud of the fact that they played seven games in Qatar, a record for any African country.
The North Africans' dream World Cup journey came to an end after their semifinal loss to the defending champions France, but they still have one final chance to depart Qatar on a high note when they play Croatia in the third-place playoff on Saturday.
Morocco hopes to end their historic World Cup run with one last victory in the third-place match.
Regragui acknowledged it was a challenging and hard game for two teams being asked to play following the disappointment of losing semifinal matches, but he claimed he wouldn't make too many changes to the squad as that would upset the team balance.
"I know it's crucial to place third rather than fourth, but my main takeaway is that we missed the final," Not tomorrow, but Sunday was when we wanted to play the championship game, Regragui stated.
However, I reminded my team that this was their eighth World Cup game. Any supporter of Morocco would be happy to hear that we will play our seventh game on December 17.
"This is priceless. Morocco played six World Cup games in twenty or so years, and now we've played six games in a month. From a perspective of experience, it's as if we played two or perhaps three World Cups."
Regragui claimed that Croatia were a strong team even though they were not expected to repeat their 2018 campaign, in which they came in second place in Russia. Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, ended their hopes in the semifinal.
"We were aware that Croatia will be among the top teams competing. We felt the performance was excellent after the first game, a 0-0 group-stage draw between Morocco and Croatia, Regragui remarked.
"The first game was met with a lot of apprehension… It will be a tremendous game on Saturday since both clubs will want to win.
Regragui lauded Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric, who is still going strong at the age of 37 despite the possibility that this was his final match with the Croatian national team.
"I don't know if this is Modric's final match, but he's a competitive warrior who will want to complete the World Cup in grand fashion, according to Regragui. Salutations to Modric. At 37, he is undertaking a massive task. I can totally see why he was the Ballon d'Or winner."
