00:00:01.740 --> 00:00:04.760
the Atlas lions surprised again.

1
00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:07.590
Morocco is the first African and Arab country

2
00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:10.900
in qualifying for the semifinals of a World Cup.

3
00:00:10.910 --> 00:00:15.010
The enthusiasm of their supporters is immense in Qatar

4
00:00:22.450 --> 00:00:23.730
o

5
00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:32.189
Ha It's incredible because nobody expected Morocco to reach the semifinals.

6
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:39.890
We're the best. They shouted so much in the stadium that I was stunned.

7
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:43.900
What a game I'm looking forward to the next one. It's incredible.

8
00:00:43.910 --> 00:00:46.550
We didn't expect them to play like that.

9
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:52.520
We didn't expect them to reach the semifinals, but there they are. And who knows.

10
00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:55.700
In Morocco, the fans like on the streets,

11
00:01:03.670 --> 00:01:09.440
they filled us with joy and reminded us of what we felt when in nineteen hundred

12
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:14.840
eighty-six of us beat Portugal and qualified for the second round.

13
00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:20.550
Today the joy is different, despite the pain of our players,

14
00:01:20.550 --> 00:01:22.100
that ended up being injured.

15
00:01:22.110 --> 00:01:24.770
But we won

16
00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:31.110
Morocco's success has won them sympathy throughout the Arab world.

17
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.760
They even had the support of residents

18
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.010
Syrians from this camp of displaced people

19
00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:41.890
I want to send a message to the players of the Moroccan team.

20
00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.430
They didn't fill their hearts with joy

21
00:01:44.430 --> 00:01:47.420
and allowed us to forget our worries.

22
00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:51.920
Here in this field and the hard journey we've been through, thank you very much.

23
00:01:51.930 --> 00:01:56.360
Hats off to me because with this achievement they united hearts

24
00:01:56.360 --> 00:01:59.110
of all the Arabs and they made us one people.

25
00:02:02.410 --> 00:02:05.850
And people from other parts of Africa also supported the Moroccan team

26
00:02:07.830 --> 00:02:11.610
It's a historical classification not just for Morocco, but for all of Africa.

27
00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:13.490
We're proud of Morocco.

28
00:02:13.490 --> 00:02:15.860
We wish them all the best in the semifinals

29
00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:18.760
prefers Morocco will try to prolong its incredible

30
00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:21.000
streak and chain together a new feat in

31
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.560
the match against France next Wednesday.
