Grant: Morocco is better than us, but it is not always the best who wins

Chipolopolo Coach Avram Grant is optimistic that his side can cause an upset and qualify to the last 16 of the CAF 2023 African Cup of Nations.

Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s final group match Grant also praised the Atlas Lions.

“I never give up, no matter the match. We know that Morocco is better than us, but it is not always the best who wins,” said Grant.

Skipper Lubambo Musonda, Rodrick Kabwe and Stopilla Sunzu are the only players with AFCON experience

“My players showed a lot of character in the previous two matches. We must remember that many of them are playing at the AFCON for the first time,”

“We have nothing to lose because we are playing against the best team in Africa. There is no doubt that Moroccans have incredible individual qualities. You have to show character and assert yourself,”

“a fan of the pressure that has plagued this AFCON since its launch.”

“Morocco has very good players in all positions, I don’t see that they necessarily have any shortcomings,”
