The head coach of the Moroccan national team, Walid Regragui, said that the Croatian team deserved the bronze of the 2022 World Cup, and also noted that the Moroccans had learned a lot at the tournament in Qatar.

On Saturday, the Moroccans were defeated by the Croats in the match for third place in the 2022 World Cup with a score of 1:2.

We are again a little disappointed. This is our second loss in a row. In physical terms, we gave all our best, completed this meeting with (Sofyan) Amrabat and (Badr) Banun in the center of defense. It shows how hard the players put in. We tried to please our fans, the guys fought until the last seconds, we had a chance to score in the very end.

We have learned a lot at this World Cup. We know that we need to return to this tournament even stronger. In the end, we are in the top four teams in the world, and we showed a good game. Congratulations to the Croatian national team with bronze. The Croatians deserved the third place, this team is much more experienced than us. We will continue to study and work. Although we are not so far behind the best teams in the world,” Regragi said after the game, which was broadcast by the Match TV channel.
