Summary
- Morocco's Ounahi states team goal is to advance far in the World Cup.
- He views fan criticism as a sign of high expectations.
- Player adaptability to different cities and pitches is crucial.
Morocco's midfielder Azzedine Ounahi stated that the team's ambition for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is to achieve a deep run in the tournament, rather than focusing solely on individual matches or opponents such as Brazil.
Ounahi indicated that the squad is driven by ambition and understands the expectations from Moroccan supporters. He also addressed fan criticism, interpreting it as a positive sign of belief in his potential to perform at a higher level.
The players have found motivation through regular visits from FRMF president Fouzi Lekjaa. Ounahi described the young midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi as a valuable asset capable of strengthening the national team.
Reflecting on past tournaments, Ounahi noted the logistical challenges of the current World Cup, including frequent travel between cities and stadiums, which differs from the more stable base Morocco had in Qatar.
