Spanje's bondscoach Luis de la Fuente heeft Marokko aangewezen als een van de grootste rivalen op weg naar het WK 2026. De coach benadrukte dat hij de ontwikkeling van de Afrikaanse ploeg, die aan kracht en reputatie blijft winnen, nauwlettend volgt.<\/p>\n

De la Fuente wees op de recente opmars van Marokko en de manier waarop het team is uitgegroeid tot een serieuze mededinger op het internationale toneel. Hij benadrukte dat Spanje paraat moet zijn, omdat de strijd om de top te bereiken tijdens het komende wereldkampioenschap hevig zal zijn.<\/p>\n

De Spaanse bondscoach sprak met respect over de kwaliteit die Marokko de afgelopen jaren heeft getoond. Naar zijn mening maken hun niveau, organisatie en ambitie hen tot een geduchte tegenstander voor het aanstaande toernooi in 2026.<\/p>\n

De la Fuente onderstreepte ook dat Spanje het zich niet kan veroorloven om alleen naar de traditionele grootmachten te kijken. Hij gelooft dat steeds meer landen de kloof dichten, en Marokko is een duidelijk voorbeeld van die verschuiving.<\/p>\n

Met het oog op de opbouw naar het WK 2026 die al gaande is, was de boodschap van de coach duidelijk: Spanje moet zich blijven verbeteren, omdat sterke rivalen zoals Marokko hetzelfde doel nastreven.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
