Moroccan national team goalkeeper Yassine Bono commented on the results of the semi-final against the French national team (0-2).
“The match was not easy. We dreamed of reaching the final and were confident of winning, but it didn’t happen. The guys played a great match, made a huge effort. We created several good chances.
We still have one more match to play, which we must approach with the same seriousness as in our previous matches. The team has really shown that it can compete with the big national teams. The first goal made our game difficult, but we showed character, and after conceding the goal, we had chances. Then there was the second goal, not without a bit of luck... In any case, we played an excellent match.
Bono's words reflect the pride and determination of the Moroccan team, which has already made history by becoming the first African nation to reach the World Cup semi-finals. Despite the disappointment of losing to defending champions France, the goalkeeper's words underline the team's resilience and confidence in its ability to compete at the highest level.
The goalkeeper's recognition of the team's efforts and the chances they created underscores the narrow margins that decided the outcome of the game. Although the first goal proved to be a setback, Bono praised his teammates for their character and the way they responded to the challenge.
As for the third-place match, Bono's assurance that the team will approach the game with the same seriousness and determination as in their previous encounters demonstrates the team's unwavering commitment to its historic journey. The goalkeeper's confidence in the team's ability to compete with the "big national teams" is a testament to the progress Morocco has made on the world stage.
