Following a regrettable absence from the last World Cup due to a severe injury, Amine Harit is set to make a triumphant return with his inclusion in the squad for the upcoming AFCON 2023, a testament to his resilience and determination.
Despite Morocco’s impressive performance as a semi-finalist in the 2022 World Cup, the Olympique de Marseille winger, Amine Harit, remains grounded in his perspective on the upcoming competition.
While Morocco is often touted as one of the favorites for AFCON 2023, Harit, in a recent statement on RMC, refrains from embracing such a label for his team.
Acknowledging Senegal’s recent triumph in the African Cup, Harit gracefully defers the title of “favorite” to the current champions.
He emphasizes the strength of the Senegalese team and their rightful status as front-runners.
However, Harit does express confidence in the quality of the Moroccan squad, recognizing the formidable challenge posed by Ivory Coast, the host nation.
In his insightful remarks, Harit underlines the multifaceted nature of success in a competition like AFCON, stressing the significance of attributes such as self-sacrifice, determination, and mentality.
According to him, these intangible elements are pivotal differentiators that can tilt the scales in favor of any team.
As anticipation builds for the continental showdown, Amine Harit’s pragmatic and humble outlook on Morocco’s prospects adds a layer of nuance to the pre-tournament discourse.
With his focus on the holistic qualities that contribute to victory, Harit embodies the spirit of a true competitor ready to face the challenges of AFCON 2023.
