Morocco are poised to qualify for their second straight FIFA World Cup with either a victory or scoreless draw on Tuesday enough for the Atlas Lions to emerge victorious over DR Congo. Despite earning a 1-1 draw in Kinshasa in the first leg and snatching a valuable away goal, Morocco center back Nayaf Aguerd acknowledged that the team performed poorly and will be determined to improve their quality in front of Moroccan supporters. The Stade Mohamed V is in peak condition to host with the pitch in perfect condition for the important match.
Atlas Lions manager Vahid Halihodzic was on the end of stinging criticism from former Morocco player Nordin Amrabat. On Dutch television the current AEK Athens player declared that the Bosnian coach’s ego and stubbornness was why he does not get the best out of his players, citing that he has only selected one Moroccan player out of four who are playing in the UEFA Champions League.
The scorer of the equalizer in the first leg, Tarik Tissoudali, discussed how his popularity has skyrocketed since he elected to represent Morocco. In an article below, the KAA Gent winger mentioned that his followers on social media has grown at a rapid rate since playing at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and that the count is only growing as he plays more for the Atlas Lions.
