The failure of the "Cub" team brings the debate over reliance on foreign coaches back to the forefront.

The exit of the "Atlas Cubs" against their Senegalese counterparts has sparked widespread criticism against the Portuguese coach Tiago Lima Emanuel, especially with the return of the debate over relying on foreign coaches. Sports experts believe that what happened yesterday, Thursday, calls for a focus on local coaching talents.

Abdelhak Sarhan, a sports expert, stated that "talking about the lack of experience of the national team players is not accurate, as they are facing teams in the same age category as the Senegalese team. In this category, specifically under 17 or 18 years old, tactical training is formed and the players' football personality is built."

Sarhan added, in a statement to Hespress, that the technical and individual qualifications for the last match were strongly present among our skilled players; the raw material is available in the group, but the real issue lies in the absence of the coach's ideas, which we did not see any effect or actual application of on the field.

The sports expert continued: "Here, the limited tactical position of the coach becomes clear, especially at this sensitive age stage and with these specific players. In such moments, it becomes evident whether the coach has a clear tactical vision that is translated on the field or if he lacks it."

The speaker highlighted that if we compare players individually, player by player, between the national team members and their Senegalese counterparts, we will find a clear superiority in favor of the Moroccan players at the technical level; however, the deployment on the field was not at the required level from the coach.

In conclusion, Sarhan noted that "the coach's ideas and tactical solutions were completely absent, and we did not witness any organized attempts or tactical phrases being repeated and worked on during the match; this made the difference despite the individual technical superiority of our players."
