Morocco manager Walid Regragui said the team is aiming for the sky and should be allowed to dream of winning the World Cup after they topped Group F with a 2-1 victory over Canada.
The hard-fought win over Canada saw Morocco finish the group stage with seven points from their three matches — a record that included a 0-0 draw with Croatia and a 2-0 win over Belgium.
Regragui was beyond delighted with his team’s form, and when asked if his team can go on and win the competition he said they’ve earned the right to be in contention.
“We set ourselves an objective — we wanted to give everything to get out of the group stages,” Regragui said. “We’re aiming for the sky, we’re not going to stop here, but we’re going to be a difficult team to beat, so why not dream about winning the trophy?
“We need African teams to set this objective. We’re taking it one game at a time, we’re not getting carried away, but if we’re fighting fit, we stand a great chance of progressing.”
