Haitian striker: Morocco is capable of repeating Qatar's achievement.. and Hakimi is the best right now.
Frantzdy Pierrot, the striker for Turkish club Rizespor and the Haitian national team, is one of the prominent names leading his country in the 2026 World Cup finals, as he prepares for a special match against the Moroccan national team in the third round of the group stage, scheduled for this evening, Wednesday.
In an exclusive interview with "Hesport," Pierrot spoke about his view of the Moroccan national team, their chances of going far in the "World Cup," praised Achraf Hakimi and the Moroccan fans, and discussed his knowledge of local clubs and his relationship with Nourredine Amrabat, a player for Wydad Casablanca, as well as his personal ambitions on the international stage and with his team in the future.
We enter this match with a lot of respect, but also with great ambition. The Moroccan national team is today one of the best African teams, and it has shown its quality to the whole world in recent years. It is a very organized team that includes players competing at the highest levels. For us, this match represents an opportunity to showcase our abilities and demonstrate our level against a team of Morocco's stature.
Yes, I believe it has all the ingredients for that. What Morocco achieved in Qatar was not a coincidence, but the result of hard work and high quality. The Moroccan national team has a talented generation and experienced players, and it has a clear identity in its style of play. In the World Cup, details play an important role, but Morocco has the capabilities that allow it to reach the advanced stages again and dream of a new historic achievement.
Morocco has many great players, but I greatly appreciate Achraf Hakimi. I face him constantly in the Champions League, and he is a player with tremendous defensive and offensive capabilities. For me, he is one of the most prominent Moroccan players currently. But at the same time, all the players in the national team give their best to represent their country, just as I do with the Haitian national team.
