Afcon: Morocco will learn from defeats to Gambia and Zambia - Patrice Beaumelle

Morocco assistant coach Patrice Beaumelle remains optimistic about his team's chances at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt.

The Atlas Lions succumbed to their third successive defeat when they lost 3-2 to Zambia in an international friendly match in Marrakech on Sunday.

Prior to that, Morocco had suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat to Gambia in Marrakech last week.

Beaumelle believes that the North Africans will learn from their recent two defeats against teams which will not be participating at this year's Afcon finals.

“We will learn the lessons from the two friendly matches played a few days before the start of Afcon," Beaumelle told the media.
