" It was great to be part of the team that defeated France and we are thrilled about it. It was a good win. But at the same time, it is disappointing that we could not qualify for the second round of the tournament and I am very sad about it. However, as a team we have been able to play high quality football and hopefully we will be able to perform better in the next editions of World Cup and other matches,” continued, Mejbri.He also highlighted that Asian and African teams have done very well in this tournament. " This World Cup is very different and special as several leading teams are out of the tournament in the first round itself. There are more representations from Africa and Asia in the next round. This is what the game of football is all about. I am very happy for Morocco qualifying for the next round. This will provide great boost for several countries in both the continents especially in the Arab World,” added, Mejbri.
