Walid Regragui: I hope Ronaldo doesn’t play

For the fourth time (and the first in the Arab world), an African team has reached the World Cup quarter-finals, and Morocco’s coach, Walid Regragui, did not hide his pride during the preview of the match against Portugal.

“I am proud of my country, my team, and having reached this stage.” We represent Morocco and our people, and for the first time in World Cup history, an Arab team has reached the quarterfinals. We have the support of an entire continent, and we have sensed this positive energy. We’re very excited; it’s an honor to be at this stage, and we’ll do everything we can to win. You haven’t seen this selection from Morocco at 100%, and that shows the evolution we’ve had», said the Frenchman, who also didn’t rule out Cristiano Ronaldo returning to replace Gonçalo Ramos, as he did against Switzerland.

We’ll be playing against one of the best teams in the world, with very talented players. I’m not sure if Ronaldo will play; I hope not; I know he’s one of the best footballers in history, so I’ll be happy if he doesn’t. Portugal wants to reach the semi-finals as well, but we must be both optimistic and humble. Will we get another great result against Spain tomorrow? “I hope so,” shot Regragui.
