Regragui: Ounahi's Celebration Unrelated to Egypt
Morocco's impressive journey in the World Cup is creating ripples not only on the field but also off it. Azzeddine Ounahi, the team's skilled midfielder, recently scored against Tanzania, prompting speculation about the motive behind his celebratory display. Head coach Walid Regragui is eager to dispel any misunderstandings.
In a statement to reporters, Regragui reassured that Ounahi's exuberant reaction was unrelated to any intent to spark controversy with neighboring Egypt. "We hold the highest respect for Egypt and their talented squad," declared the coach. "To suggest that his celebration was aimed at them is an exaggeration. Respect is our duty in this game."
The speculation stemmed from Ounahi's previous remarks implying that Egypt struggled in significant matches. However, Regragui stressed the importance of moving past such controversies. "Egypt serves as an inspiration for us on football's grandest stage. Our sole focus is on maintaining our impressive performance in the tournament."
Before Egypt's crucial match against Ghana, Ounahi expressed support on social media a gesture that Regragui hopes will quell any speculation surrounding the midfielder's goal. With a clear mindset and formidable skills, the Atlas Lions are determined to solidify their position as Africa's team to watch in the World Cup.
