Mohamed Wahbi, the coach of the Moroccan national team, confirmed today that the goal scored by his striker Sofiane Rahimi against Haiti (4-2) was of great importance to the player, noting that Rahimi was in dire need of this goal to boost his self-confidence and continue his developmental journey.
The brilliance of substitute players like Rahimi is evidence of the strength and depth of the Moroccan squad and their readiness for upcoming challenges.
Wahbi revealed during the post-match press conference the great efforts made by the players who are not regular starters, who give 200% of their energy during training to prove their right to play.
The coach explained that these players work hard and passionately to serve the team and showcase their capabilities, which explains the strong performance displayed by Rahimi and the other substitutes.
He added that Sofiane Rahimi did not stop at scoring his goal but also assisted another goal, confirming his ability to positively influence match results.
This collective spirit and solidarity among the players are among the most prominent features of the current Moroccan national team, where harmony and joy prevail among everyone, whether goal scorers or those providing crucial assists, reflecting a “true group” within the team.
Wahbi expressed great confidence in his team, affirming that the national team possesses all the necessary ingredients for success, regardless of the opponent’s identity.
The team enjoys a clear identity, a professional technical staff, and loyal fans, which are factors that provide players with the necessary support to believe in their abilities and ambitions for the future, and to reach the farthest point possible in any competition they participate in.
