Tarik Sektioui’s reaction after Morocco’s defeat

Tarik Sektioui, the coach of the Moroccan Olympic team, expressed his “great disappointment” after the Atlas Lions’ defeat against Ukraine on Saturday in Saint-Étienne. He hopes for a victory against Iraq next Tuesday to qualify for the round of 16 of the Olympic tournament.

“I feel a great disappointment after the defeat we suffered and which we did not deserve after the high level we showed in the second half,” Sektiouti said in a post-match press conference against Ukraine on Saturday.
