"Morocco are the natural favourites,"
"They were World Cup semi-finalists. It will be a very difficult match against a very good team. We will try to challenge them."
"What characterises Cameroonians is their courage, even when there's a mountain to overcome. It's the mental strength that makes the difference."
"We are still thinking the same way and have confidence in what we are doing,"
Cameroon will play Morocco in an Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final in Rabat with the winner to face either Algeria or Nigeria in the semi-finals. Cameroon last won the trophy in 2017 and previously claimed back-to-back titles in 2000 and 2002, while Morocco's sole title came in 1976. Both teams took seven points from three group games; Morocco beat Tanzania 1-0 and Cameroon defeated South Africa 2-1 in the last 16. Cameroon’s coach accepts Morocco as favourites given their World Cup semi-final status and frames the fixture as a mental battle. Morocco’s coach expresses confidence and urges staying grounded despite criticism.
