Dykes explained in a statement to ESPN that the Scottish team is aware of the difficulty of the task against the "Atlas Lions," but that does not diminish the players' ambition, who believe they are capable of competing with the top teams and securing victory.

The Scottish striker pointed out that the strength of the group and their fighting spirit are the main weapons of his national team in the tournament, emphasizing that football does not always recognize theoretical differences or prior predictions, which makes all possibilities valid on the pitch.

He added that the Scottish team aims to continue its positive results in the "World Cup," considering that winning the remaining two matches against Morocco and Brazil is not impossible, especially given the close levels of the participating teams and the difficulty of deciding matches in this edition.

Dykes expressed his confidence in the abilities of his teammates and the coaching staff led by coach Steve Clarke, stressing that the support from fans gives the Scottish team an additional incentive to give their best in the upcoming matches.

Football fans are looking forward to a strong encounter between the Moroccan and Scottish teams, in a match that could have a direct impact on the qualification calculations for the next round of the World Cup.

The Moroccan team will face their Scottish counterparts this Friday, starting at 11 PM Moroccan time, in the second round of the group stage.
