It seems that the Moroccan players training in South Africa for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) took some time off for relaxation and nostalgia. According to reports, the players engaged in a leisurely stroll, and some of them took the opportunity to reminisce about their childhood experiences, including bird and animal hunting.
The photo captured a particular item that drew attention: the slingshot. The mention of the slingshot suggests that the players playfully indulged in some childhood activities, perhaps trying their hand at using the slingshot, a traditional tool often associated with such memories.
The mention of Mehdi Benatia and his teammates bringing back partridges for the evening’s dinner adds a humorous and light-hearted touch, indicating that the players were enjoying a break from their intense training routine. It’s a reminder that even amid the competitive environment of a major football tournament, athletes find moments to relax, bond, and reconnect with simpler pleasures.
