Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi warned his players against underestimating Lesotho or using unfamiliar conditions as an excuse when the Atlas Lions play their second 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Bloemfontein on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Morocco opened Group A with a 2-0 victory over Gabon and sit top of the group on goal difference. Lesotho lost their opening match 2-1 to Niger.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe conditions are different, so we have to adapt, stay focused on what we know how to do and try to win this match,\u201d Ouahbi told reporters Monday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He rejected suggestions that the weather or pitch could become mitigating factors if Morocco struggle.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not about looking for excuses,\u201d he said. \u201cWhether it is the temperature, the quality of the pitch or anything else, we cannot have excuses. We should only think about the solutions we need to find to win matches.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ouahbi said the squad in South Africa is otherwise fully available, with Nayef Aguerd the only absentee. The defender did not travel to Bloemfontein and remains at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Ma\u00e2mora, where he is continuing a return-to-competition program.<\/p>\n
The coach also said Morocco\u2019s younger and newly integrated players would continue to receive opportunities, including room to make mistakes as they develop.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best way not to fall into the trap of thinking the match will be easy is to be fully focused,\u201d Ouahbi said.<\/p>\n
Lesotho host Morocco at Free State Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein on Tuesday, with kick-off at 1 p.m. GMT.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
