Already victorious against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in a friendly, Tanzania dominated Morocco in qualifying for the 2014 World Cup Brazil (3-1). A victory that arouses curiosity among the Taifa Stars. The much-in-demand coach, Kim Poulsen, looks back on this success against the Atlas Lions on the official FIFA website.
“Our success against Cameroon aroused a lot of interest. Some people didn’t believe we were capable of repeating the feat in an official match. For our part, we have always had confidence in our abilities and we proved ourselves by beating Morocco,” Poulsen told FIFA.com, before considering what happened next. “This victory does not create any obligation for us. I consider it a challenge. With each success, fans demand more. My players, above all, have fun on the pitch. Regardless of the opponent, each encounter is like a reward for me. My boys smile when they enter the field. With such an attitude, all hopes are allowed.”
Only Ivory Coast (7 points) is ahead of Tanzania (6 points) in the race for the third round of the World Cup qualifiers.
