“Its a big opportunity for me. These are games I dream of and for me I want to win the AFCON and I have to take these opportunities, I did that and the team did that.
“We take each game as they come and Morocco will be a different team because they have the fans with them. It will be difficult, but we believe in ourselves.
“I think the way we are playing, Algeria didn’t have a shot on target today, so we keep believing in ourselves and keep doing what the manager wants us to do. We will beat Morocco too.”

Morocco will be an extremely difficult game and you lots have to be very careful because both the heavy crowd and CAF wants Morocco to “host and win,”probably at all costs.
The referee and VAR team are always going to give the 50-50 duels in favour of Morocco with the fanatical Rabat home crowd urge.
So SE must be prepared to play the game of the life against a fitter than Algeria Moroccan side with the 12th player on their side!
Honestly that game against Morocco is like final, initially some of our players even pray not to come across them.
The pain of wafcon is still fresh in their mind. Should eagles win on Wednesday i dont see anything standing on their to lifting the trophy
