The OM midfielder spoke about his state of form on the eve of the African Cup of Nations, which he will play with Morocco. The former Angevin talks about his uneven start to the season and his state of mind before the CAN.
Ten days before the start of the CAN, Azzedine Ounahi wants to see the Atlas Lions continue their momentum from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. “We saw that views had changed with the World Cup. We see that, now, we are the team to beat, believes the midfielder in an interview with RMC Sport. Whether it’s a friendly match or a competition, everyone wants to beat us. This is what will push us to be 100% and focused in every match. »
This status as favorites has raised expectations among supporters. “We see that all the Moroccan people are impatiently awaiting this CAN,” confides the Marseillais. It’s a somewhat special CAN, because the 2025 edition will be in Morocco. So if we manage to make a big splash in Ivory Coast, that will be an advantage for us in 2025.” Away from the field for several months After a month away from the field this fall due to a back injury, Ounahi made his return to Marseille for a month. “The series of matches played with OM will help me for the CAN and allow me to be truly 100% ready,” assures the former Angevin.
