Benshikha revels in victory while Bencherifa apologizes.

Algerian coach Abdelhak Benchikha of Ittihad Tangier attributed his team's victory over Wydad Athletic Club, with a score of two goals to one, on Wednesday evening during the twenty-second round of the professional league, to the success of his players in applying the tactical adjustments worked on during the match. He also praised the effort put in by the group and the fans who strongly supported the team from the stands.

Benchikha stated during the press conference following the match that the game was difficult from both a technical and tactical perspective, explaining that caution characterized the first half, as each side sought to avoid conceding goals more than taking offensive risks.

He added that the technical staff prepared well for the match and studied Wydad's playing style, before managing to find suitable solutions after falling behind in the score. He noted that the changes made confused the opponent's calculations and helped his team come back and achieve victory.

The Algerian coach praised the fighting spirit displayed by Ittihad Tangier's players, confirming that they played with a strong character and great belief in their ability to come back despite being behind. He also gave a special salute to the team's fans for their strong presence and continuous support.

He added that winning against a team of Wydad's caliber provides an important morale boost for the group and confirms that the team is on the right path, step by step.

On the other hand, Mohamed Benchrifa, coach of Wydad Athletic Club, apologized to the fans of the red team after the defeat, considering that his team paid the price for wasting the opportunities that came their way after scoring the first goal.

Benchrifa explained that his players managed to impose their control during periods of the match and created many scoring opportunities, but the lack of offensive efficiency allowed the opponent to come back and turn the score in their favor.

The same speaker confirmed that football punishes teams that do not capitalize on their opportunities as required, pointing out that Wydad could have widened the gap and finished the match early, but they lacked the final touch in front of goal.

He added that this loss will be an important lesson for the team in the upcoming phase, emphasizing that the group must learn from the recorded mistakes and quickly return to the path of positive results.
