Harimat explained, during the press conference preceding the promising return match scheduled for Sunday evening in Rabat, that the confrontation will be a real test against a stubborn opponent.

However, the cohesion and belief in their abilities enabled them to keep up with the continent’s top teams, promising the fans to spare no effort to bring back the cup that has been absent from the club’s trophies for more than four decades and achieve a historic accomplishment that will place this generation among the legends of the leader.
In conclusion, Mohamed Rabie Harimat confirmed that the passion and hope he sees in the eyes of his neighborhood’s youth and the club’s fans constitute an exceptional motivation, highlighting that the team will work on isolating itself from negative pressures on the green pitch to make happy everyone who sacrifices for the badge, reminding that the value of the title is doubled because it has been absent from the team’s trophies for 41 years, which makes the players feel the weight of the responsibility on their shoulders to please the supporters and fulfill Mohamed Rabie Harimat’s ambitions.
