Wehbe comments on the “Lions” crowning of the Cannes

The iron national voter, Mohamed Wehbe, spoke about the state of the Moroccan national team’s clothing warehouse after the recent African Cup of Nations final crisis, and the news that a rift had occurred in the black “Vestier” club, indicating that the atmosphere within the group is very positive, and that all the players are enthusiastic about serving the national team.

Wehbe said, in response to a question regarding the subject: “The conversations I had with the players were very positive. What I clearly sensed is that the spirit of patriotism and love for the national shirt puts Morocco above all else. The players showed a great willingness to offer a lot, and they have already shown that on previous occasions with the national team.”

The same spokesman added during the press conference held this morning to announce the list of players participating in the two matches against Ecuador and Paraguay: “For me, I do not feel any anxiety... It is normal for some tensions or disagreements to sometimes appear within the group, especially in light of the strong competition between the players, but this is healthy and reflects a great desire to develop and prove oneself... Our role as a technical staff is to keep pace with this development and intervene when needed, in order to help the players give their best and ensure continued good performance.”

Regarding the recent decision of the Appeals Committee of the Confederation of African Football, which announced that the Moroccan national team had won the title after considering that the Senegalese national team had withdrawn, Wehbe said: “I would first like to congratulate all Moroccans, the technical staff, the players, and the university, on the good news that we received two days ago... It is clear that the matter is very good news and can have a positive impact.”

Wehbe continued, saying: “This file falls within the jurisdiction of the university, which has full powers to manage it. From my position, I will rely on a group of players who have great motivation and a strong desire to achieve the best. Everyone is eager to give their best, especially with the approaching major competitions, most notably the World Cup.”
