CHAN: Kenya must produce quality against unpredictable Morocco – McCarthy

Kenya head coach Benni McCarthy has outlined what his side must produce to get a positive result against Morocco in their TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) Group A fixture at Kasarani Stadium on Sunday.

Harambee Stars will head into the fixture sitting top of the pile following their 1-0 win against two-time CHAN champions DR Congo and 1-1 draw against Angola, a match they played with 10-men for almost 70 minutes.

“Morocco is a strong and well-organized team. It will be a tough match against one of the best teams not only in our group, but in the league,” acknowledged McCarthy as quoted by CAFOnline.com.

“Morocco has had a week to prepare for this match, as we played our last match only two days ago. I hope the motivation and physical condition will be there to play well in the match against Morocco.”

He added: “Several positive things have come out of our first two matches, such as resilience and strong character, and I hope that will show against Morocco. Morocco is unpredictable and that is why we must produce quality and be more organised in all areas of the game.”

A win for Harambee Stars would make them only the third debutant in CHAN history to reach the knockout stages, and they would do it by toppling one of the tournament’s giants.
