World Cup 2022: Moroccan national team performed excellently - French President Emmanuel Macron

Emmanuel Macron, President of France, applauded Les Bleus and coach Didier Deschamps for their 2-0 victory against Morocco and progress to the World Cup final. He also stated that Morocco's performance made him nervous.

Macron said in statements to the media, "Proud and happy with this team, which is a mixture of different generations. The French people need joy. Sport provides this feeling, especially football."

"I was nervous, but I became better off more than an hour and a half ago, because such matches cannot be decided before they are played, and the Moroccan national team performed excellently. Its fans should be proud of this team, and they are not ashamed of losing, but rather they deserve a salute."

And he noted, "I thank Deschamps, he formed a wonderful team, and he is in the World Cup final for the third time, and he won the previous two finals, so there are no two without a third."

He pointed out, "Deschamps is present, and with his blessing and talent, he will return to France with the World Cup, and clearly he must remain coach of the national team. He formed a new generation for the Dukes."

He concluded, "We must rejoice in the victory. We are preparing tomorrow for the final to win it. I will be present in the final match. I thank Qatar, which succeeded in organizing the World Cup in a more than wonderful way."
