Sami Trabelsi, coach of the Tunisian national football team, expressed his great admiration for the sports infrastructure in Morocco. This came after the “Carthage Eagles” victory over Uganda by three goals to one, yesterday, Tuesday, in the opening of their campaign in the group stage of the African Cup of Nations (CAN).
Trabelsi confirmed, in the press conference that followed the match, that the difficult weather conditions that accompanied the match, represented by heavy rainfalls that continued for hours, did not affect the quality of the performance, thanks to the readiness of the stadiums and their excellent flooring.
In this regard, the Carthage Eagles coach said that the pitch was at a high level and allowed the players to play the football they love, rely on possession and implement programmed tactical sentences.
The Tunisian coach added that the quality of infrastructure remains an essential factor in the success of any major tournament, highlighting that the equipment and organization he saw reflects the great work done by Morocco, whether at the level of the stadiums or the facilities surrounding them. This contributes to the comfort of the players and helps them focus inside the green rectangle.
The same spokesman pointed out that the availability of stadiums of this quality, even in heavy rain, gives the teams the opportunity to play with greater confidence and provide a better technical level, stressing that the foundation is infrastructure, and what comes after it becomes easier at all levels.
Trabelsi concluded by highlighting the general atmosphere surrounding the competition, considering that such positive conditions raise the value of the African Championship and give an honorable image to football in the African continent.
