Morocco coach Walid Regragui has shouldered the blame for the 1-1 draw against DR Congo on Sunday in their TotalEnergies Group F match.
“We started the match well. We created situations for ourselves but then we fell back and allowed them back into the game. The changes to bring more freshness didn’t work. We didn’t know how to manage the match as required. I take responsibility for this match,” conceded Walid Regragui.
Adding to taking the responsibility, Regragui added that they could have been better tactically in their approach.
“We left too much space between our lines. Tactically we should have been better. We perhaps respected DR Congo too much. They were the most difficult team in the group. They were motivated and vengeful. They were dangerous and their point was deserved”, he added.
Morocco remains at the top of group F with 4 points ahead of their final group match against Zambia.
