"Easier than Croatia" - Ziyech aims digs at Belgium after 2-0 victory
After a draw with Croatia, Ziyech led Morocco to a well-deserved 2-0 victory over Belgium in their Qatar 2022 campaign. The Chelsea winger insists it was a lot easier to face Belgium than Croatia.
Goals from Abdelhamid Sabiri and Abukhlal awarded Morocco
a shocking 2-0 victoryover the title-favorites Belgium, as the Belgians hardly had any chance on the Moroccans' goal.
The Man of the Match,
Hakim Ziyech
told in his post-match interview:
"The first game was more difficult for us. We couldn't play our game, Croatia played a very good game. This one was perhaps easier, especially in midfield. They may have made more mistakes than the Croats.
"We played a very strong, robust game, especially in defence. We were waiting for their mistakes and I think we took the lead from that and scored at the right time."
Ziyech added:
"I don't deserve this player of the match trophy. It's a collective effort, everyone was behind me, it's a collective work
."
Ziyech hailed
Morocco fans
for the victory, saying:
"After 60-70 minutes some were tired and when we scored that goal they rallied behind us. It gave us more power, more power. The crowd helped us, they were behind us and I think that really boosted us."
