"The most important thing is that the Moroccans have changed their head coach. We know about the qualities inherent in this national team, its composition includes creative players who are able to act one-on-one. Let's see. But it will definitely be a good test for us. As I always say, we need to be close to the best versions of ourselves to perform well against these teams.

This match is important in particular because we have a good opponent. And the players have to prove themselves. We want to give them that opportunity.
