After a large victory over the Panthers of Gabon (4-1), Walid Regraguicoach of the Morocco team, and the Atlas Lions want to repeat the feat against Lesotho. To achieve this, the Franco-Moroccan technician is working on finding a good balance between offensive efficiency and defensive solidity.

During a press conference held on Sunday at the conference room of the Grand Stade d’Agadir, Walid Regragui discussed the final preparations for the match between Morocco and Lesotho, scheduled for Monday, for the 2nd day of the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations (CAN Morocco-2025). He is counting on a good performance from his players. Recognizing that the choices he made during the match against Gabon did not help the defense to deliver a good performance, he suggested that he would make some changes during the match on Monday, in order to test the players’ preparation and cohesion among themselves. Even if it means finding a good balance between offensive efficiency and defensive solidity. “Against Gabon, we were very offensive, we scored goals, but the defensive withdrawal was not so intense and fast,” explained the technician. According to him, it is now necessary to tighten the spaces, be strong in the battle for the second ball and manage the rises of the two backs.
