The African nation have been drawn in a tough group in Russia but their assistant coach has fired a battle cry ahead of their opening game
Mustapha Hadji believes Morocco must play with ‘guts and heart’ if they are to enjoy a successful World Cup in Russia.
Former Deportivo La Coruna and Aston Villa midfielder Hadji is assistant to head coach Herve Renard and helped Morocco to top their qualifying group ahead of the likes of Ivory Coast.
As a player, Hadji won the African Footballer of the Year award in 1998, and he also scored 13 goals in 63 appearances for Morocco.
