Morocco’s Coach Renard Warns of Tough CAN 2019 Match Against Benin
Thursday 4 July 2019, by
The coach of the "Atlas Lions", Hervé Renard, said that the Benin team would not be an easy opponent and that he knew the team and its coach, Michel Dussuyer, very well. The players should remain focused and very serious during this round of 16 match.
Regarding the Benin coach, Renard said in a press conference: "I played with him, and I have already faced him when he was coaching Côte d’Ivoire. He is a very firm coach, who does not make too much noise. He works impeccably."
He added: "We have excellent memories, and he is doing a very good job. The Benin team did not qualify by chance. It had inherited a difficult group, which included Cameroon and Ghana," before concluding: "I watched their match against Cameroon. They have a strong defense and are united. Each player assumes his responsibility."
Hervé Renard is counting on the seriousness and great concentration of the "Atlas Lions" during the match against the Benin team, knowing that it is an elimination match. The players should create the difference quickly, otherwise, at the right moment, he said.
