00:20The Moroccan national team closed yesterday its preparation in anticipation of the next match against Gabon this Friday night in Franceville for the 5th day of the Elysée League.
00:31The Moroccan national team closed yesterday its preparation in anticipation of the next match against Gabon this Friday night in Franceville for the 5th day of the Elysée League.
01:01We had some problems with some players who are injured, so we are missing some players, but the bulk of our squad is still here.
01:10The objective for us is to have a different challenge for each match, another confrontation.
01:18This is going to be an away match for us, with a team that will be released.
01:23It's not the same scenario. If we had played tomorrow with a team that is not yet qualified, it would be a different style of match.
01:31I think both teams will be released.
01:34I expect a very open and offensive match, with two teams that want to win.
01:41We are going to wait for tonight's training, see how the trip went for some, the last physical problems we have with some players.
01:51See if we take the risk of aligning them or not, since we have a match on Monday.
01:56The idea is to make a review of the squad without disturbing the team too much.
02:02We have to be sure that we are progressing together, and since we have had a lot of new players since the Cannes, we have to adapt to the team.
02:13To analyse this last international break for 2024, we are live with Seyed Emdah, a sports journalist from Paris.
02:23Hello Seyed, and thank you for accepting our invitation.
02:26Hello, it's a pleasure.
02:28We are going to start by talking about Wael El Greggy, who spoke about a review of the squad for these two upcoming matches against Gabon and Les Sauteaux.
02:35In your opinion, which players are likely to be able to get out of the game in this international break?
02:43Today, there are not many players who can get out of the game, because the group is starting to be regular.
02:48We are starting to see what the group will look like for the Cannes 2026 in Morocco.
02:54The Cannes 2025 will be played in 2026.
02:56On the other hand, there are still some players who can get out of the game.
02:59I am thinking of Zachary Bourgelhel, who was away from the pitch for a long time due to a serious injury.
03:05He is coming back.
03:07He wasn't selected for the first team, but he had the chance to play in the Europa League.
03:12He is now called up.
03:14For him, it's a return from a very long time.
03:16Since the 2022 World Cup, he hasn't been selected much.
03:21It's a shame for him in a sector that has become very busy.
03:26With the arrival of Safraoui, for example, and the closure of Ilias Achomage, which replaces him.
03:31Zachary Bourgelhel has to follow up closely, because his place won't change.
03:36Of course, he was part of the historic players, but he is really coming to win his place.
03:43We talked about the squad review.
03:45Obviously, there will be returns and new players, but there will also be absences.
03:49There are injured players who are therefore unavailable.
03:52We talked about Ilias Achomage and Amir Richardson, who was also replaced.
03:56But there is an absence, and not a single one, in this squad.
03:58It's Hakim Ziyech.
03:59Walid Regreggi has already mentioned the lack of playing time,
04:02as a result of his non-convocation with Galatasaray.
04:05But how can we interpret this absence, which is the second in a row,
04:09the first after being injured?
04:12I think there are a thousand and one interpretations on Hakim Ziyech's case.
04:16After Walid Regreggi's justification about the lack of playing time,
04:19it is credible.
04:20I want to believe the coach, I want to believe the selector.
04:23It is true that Hakim, since his last convocation,
04:26has only had 20 minutes of playing time.
04:28And today, as I said, the Moroccan national team,
04:31especially on the offensive side, has a lot of cartridges.
04:33So we also have to show that we deserve our place.
04:36Hakim is still a safe value of the national team,
04:39but a safe value that has aged.
04:41So we also have to see if there is continuity in the club,
04:45because the idea is not to make Hakim Ziyech play just because he is Hakim Ziyech,
04:49but the idea is to make Hakim Ziyech play,
04:51if he is still one of the most performing.
04:53In the meantime, there are young players who are pushing behind.
04:56So his non-convocation doesn't shock me.
04:58If he had been there, I wouldn't have been shocked either,
05:01because it's still part of the dressing room.
05:03But if he needs time to get back in shape and be at the level,
05:07it's better that he focuses on his club.
05:09Today, we don't have Ziyech dependents.
05:11We have Elias Benseguir, Ibrahim Diaz.
05:14We have a whole panel of players who can do the job in the meantime.
05:18So it's a prejudiciable absence,
05:21but it won't be particularly felt,
05:24especially in these qualifying matches.
05:28In terms of sporting issues,
05:30for these two meetings that are coming up against the Panthers of Gabon
05:32and the Crocodiles of Les Autos,
05:33we are not ready to really recognize two meetings under tension
05:36because of a qualification that has already been acquired on the side of the Panthers,
05:41since the two teams are already qualified,
05:43in terms of pay-out.
05:45What can we expect from these two matches,
05:47in terms of friendly matches,
05:49or preparation for the Atlas Lions?
05:52It's not that friendly,
05:54because that's what I've been saying since the start of the qualifying campaign.
05:58Of course, on the purely sporting issue,
06:01we don't have much to play for,
06:03but there is a very strong issue for the Moroccan team,
06:06which is to constitute an 11.
06:08Especially after the huge disappointment at the previous Cannes,
06:11where Morocco came out against South Africa in the round of 16.
06:14We are on a new site,
06:16where we have to rebuild with a lot of new players,
06:18especially the young Olympians who have arrived,
06:20or some players like Adam Aznou,
06:22who are rising stars.
06:23So we have to manage to build a solid 11,
06:25with the young players,
06:27with the oldest,
06:28and above all, a coherent 11.
06:30So for us, the stake is there.
06:32For us, the stake is really there.
06:34It is being drawn more and more.
06:36So Ray Graghi is reaffirming certain choices
06:38and therefore creating new ones.
06:40And for us, the stake is really to create an 11
06:42that will not move anymore.
06:44I hope that in these two matches,
06:46we will really see a team that is being drawn,
06:48even if, in my opinion,
06:50Ray Graghi will continue to do tests again and again.
06:52But in Cannes,
06:54it's almost a year, day by day,
06:56a year and two months.
06:58Today we have to be a chip team.
07:00So what I expect from these two matches
07:02is that a team is being drawn,
07:04and that this team has at least a year of preparation,
07:06with at least an 11 starter,
07:08for the World Cup.
07:10And we hope that with these stakes,
07:12we will find victory in these two matches
07:14against Gabon and Les Auteuils
07:16in these qualifications for the Cannes 2025
07:18that will take place in the Kingdom.
07:20Thank you very much Seyed Hamda
07:22for being present with us on Mediantv.
07:24You were live from Paris for Mediantv.
07:30The national football team
07:32won against its Egyptian counterpart
07:34on the score of 2-1-1
07:36in the tournament of the North African Football Union
07:38qualifying for the Africa Nations Cup.
07:40From the category disputed yesterday
07:42to Ismailia in Egypt,
07:44the goals of the Lions were scored
07:46by Seyed Haddad at the 40th minute
07:48and Othmane Mahama at the 68th,
07:50while Mohamed Elbana had equalized
07:52at the return of the fans for the Pharaohs.
07:54For the count of the same day,
07:56Tunisia beat Libya by 2-0.
07:58After this first match against the highlands,
08:00the national team will be opposed

08:14France was defeated by Israel
08:16in a match disputed in the framework
08:18of the League A of the League of Nations
08:20without major incidents,
08:22in a heavy context,
08:24at the Stade de France,
08:26very little filled,
08:28but which qualified for the quarterfinals
08:30of the League of Nations.
08:32A total of 4,000 policemen
08:34and gendarmes had been deployed
08:36around the stadium
08:38and in the Stade de Saint-Denis.
08:40A brief crowd movement occurred
08:42in a higher stand
08:44during the first period
08:46leading to the intervention
08:48of the stadium staff
08:50to prevent Israeli supporters
08:52from mingling with the French fans.
08:54According to the AFP,
08:56at 2 km from the stadium,
08:58pro-Palestinian protests
09:00were carried out by Russia
09:02after its invasion of Ukraine,
09:04a context that has already played
09:06in the scenario of the meeting
09:08according to the French national team
09:10coach Didier Deschamps.
09:12I didn't see it,
09:14but obviously the context
09:16is what it was.
09:18It's not a context
09:20that we want to relive,
09:22of course.
09:24But it's not an excuse.
09:26Unfortunately,
09:28we have to deal with it.
09:30It was a football match
09:32in these conditions.
09:38The consequence
09:42that led to...
09:44Yes, when you're at the Stade de France,
09:46you're always used
09:48to being well filled.
09:50It wasn't the case here,
09:52but we knew it anyway.
09:54It's a context
09:56that is heavy,
09:58of course.
10:00Tennis now.
