Morocco’s national football team, the Atlas Lions, have implemented a distinctive feature in their training regimen as they gear up for the upcoming clash against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Sunday, January 21, 2024, in San Pedro.
Following their resounding 3-0 victory against Tanzania in the tournament opener, the atmosphere within the Moroccan camp exudes a sense of tranquility.
Head Coach Walid Regragui, acknowledging the significance of optimal preparation, has orchestrated a shift in the team’s routine for their training session on Friday.
In a deliberate departure from their customary training schedule, Regragui has chosen an earlier time for the session, commencing at 2 p.m. GMT.
The strategic timing aligns with the scheduled kickoff time for Morocco’s encounter with the DRC on the forthcoming Sunday.
This calculated adjustment aims to immerse the Atlas Lions in conditions mirroring the match scenario, mitigating the risk of any surprises during the pivotal contest.
It is noteworthy that Morocco currently stands at three points after their triumphant performance against Tanzania.
With the impending fixture against the DRC and a subsequent encounter with Zambia on Wednesday, January 24, for the third day in Group F, the Atlas Lions are meticulously fine-tuning their strategies to navigate the challenges ahead.
This nuanced approach to training exemplifies the meticulous planning and adaptability instilled within the Moroccan squad under Regragui’s guidance, reflecting the team’s commitment to peak performance in the AFCON 2023 tournament.
