In a press conference, Morocco's coach Mohamed Ouahbi declared that his team will appear as an underdog in the match against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Ouahbi also spoke about the bond between the two countries, and about dual nationality footballers. "I haven't spoken much to the players about this, because I don't want it to become too important to them. The dual nationality players want to win with Morocco, and not to prove something to the Netherlands. I myself was born in Belgium, but the only time I didn't support Belgium was when they played against Morocco." Ouahbi expects a great performance from his team, who said they are very motivated. Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou also confirmed this great motivation: "This is a World Cup match. Every player dreams of experiencing a moment like this. We know it will be one of the most important moments of our lives."
