Although Morocco lost the World Cup third-place game, they knocked out two of the best teams in the tournament, Spain and Portugal, and became the first African team to reach the quarterfinals in the tournament's history, which is already impressive.
Ligraki believes that Morocco's strength is already very close to the first tier of European teams: France and Croatia are stronger than us, but not far away, and the African team has a chance to win the World Cup after 15 years. As for Croatia's victory over us today, the main reason is that the other team is more experienced in big games, and they took the early advantage in the first half, but our performance in the second half was not good, and we need to gain more experience.
Morocco's next goal is to win the African Cup of Nations, says Legracchi: "Before we win the World Cup, we have to win the African Cup of Nations, and we will be the Golden Generation of African football". The next African Cup of Nations will be hosted in January 2024 by Cote d'Ivoire.
