""Yes, I still think so; otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here," he said. "I have even more confidence than everyone else, I believe, in this group and this team. And we know that in a competition - even more so in the Africa Cup of Nations, but in all competitions in general - it's at the end of the show that the musicians get paid. "The most important thing today is to continue our progress to win this game and finish first [in the group] to stay in Rabat. This is our objective.""
""I understand that the fans are not satisfied and we respect that," said the Paris Saint-Germain full-back. "We will work to make them happy but we also need them. "We are playing on our own soil. It is not right to hear whistles from time to time. Our supporters are our twelfth player.""
""At PSG... people used to say we couldn't win,, that we didn't have strong team or great coach. Yet we became champions of Europe. With our fans' support, we can become champions of Africa together.""
Walid Regragui dismissed concerns about Morocco's form and insisted he is the right man to lead the team to their first title since 1976. Morocco sit top of Group A with four points from matches against Comoros and Mali, but the 1-1 draw with Mali ended a 19-match winning streak. The performance against Mali drew criticism and audible boos from some fans. Regragui expressed strong confidence in the squad and emphasised the need to finish first and stay in Rabat. Captain Achraf Hakimi asked supporters to remain behind the team and stressed their importance. Zambia have two draws and can clinch qualification with a win. Romain Saiss and Hamza Igamane are unlikely to be fit for Morocco.
