Although qualification for the round of 16 is well on track after a draw against Brazil (1-1) and a victory over Scotland (1-0), this is not the time to rest. At a press conference at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Mohamed Ouahbi categorically ruled out the idea of making widespread changes against an already-eliminated Haitian team.

"We have only one objective and we will therefore field the best possible team," warned the coach. The squad intends to maintain its game plan based on solid defensive balance to seize first place in Group C, and thus edge out the Brazilians led by Carlo Ancelotti. For the staff, it is about capitalizing on the good physical condition of the key players and showing patience against likely opposing transitions.

This continuity relies on strong certainties at every position. The coach also took the opportunity to deny rumors of injury concerning starting goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, assuring that he "is doing well." In front of him, the play will continue to revolve around Brahim Diaz, whose versatility offers valuable distribution options.
