The head coach of the Comoros national team, Stefano Cousin, said his team gave a good image and will continue to improve, while considering Morocco the favorite to win the Africa Cup of Nations.
"I am proud of my players, most of whom are young. We gave a good image of Comoros and we will continue to improve,” Cousin said at the press conference after the match lost against the Atlas Lions (2-0) in the opening of AFCON Morocco-2025.
"Defensively, we were solid and tactically well organized. Morocco has a very strong team,” he continued, believing that his team managed to contain Morocco in the first half.
"The Moroccan national team is extremely competitive. It is the best team in Africa and among the best in the world,” he said.
According to Stefano Cousin, Comoros want to go as far as possible in the competition, acknowledging that Morocco and Comoros do not have the same potential.
The Moroccan team won against their Comorian counterpart (2-0). The first goal of the match was scored by Brahim Diaz in the 55th minute of play, before Ayoub El Kaabi doubled the lead with a spectacular acrobatic overhead kick (74th).
