'Zero weaknesses': Jesse Marsch says Canada must stay focused against Morocco

[p]The African side have put in World ‌Cup performances underlining a reputation as a top side with ‌a dangerous midfield bursting with mobility and fluidity that can punish [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/canada/x4toKORL/"]Canada[/a] ‌if all 11 players on the pitch fail to stick ‌to the plan, he added.[/p][p]"[b]This is where we expect to be and this is where we want to be, and we know that [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/morocco/IDKYO3R8/"]Morocco[/a] is going ‌to challenge every single thing we do and ⁠this is a team that ‌has literally zero weaknesses[/b]," Marsch said.[/p][p]"[b]We have to try to be good at ​the things that we care about and that we are good at, and we have to see if that ​can hold up against an opponent like this[/b]."[/p][p]Canada's remarkable World Cup run has already secured their team a place in the country's sporting ⁠folklore, but Marsch said ​his side have plenty more to achieve when they face the 2022 semi-finalists in Houston.[/p][image alt="Win probability" id="704289e6-ba2b-4c23-8a06-36e58bd750f3" credit-line="Opta by StatsPerform" guid="e0af058a-70a2-4215-aad3-7969b64b5865" original-width="1080" original-height="1080" /][p]Revenge also plays no role in preparing for the encounter after Morocco defeated Canada 2-1 in the group stage of the ‌2022 World Cup, he added.[/p][p]"[b]There's not a ton of motivation for anyone in our camp to say that we lost last World Cup to Morocco and now we need to right that wrong[/b]," he said.[/p][p]"[b]This is a different time. They're a different team. We're a different team. This is a very different moment and we just want to do everything we can to find a way to get the result[/b]."[/p][p]Canada have notched their first World Cup point and ‌win during the tournament with Marsch acknowledging his players take on ​a side that play with swagger and confidence.[/p][p]But the return ‌of talisman [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/davies-alphonso/4r3PXV20/"]Alphonso Davies[/a] -- who played his first minutes at the tournament in the round-of-32 victory over [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/south-africa/W2ijYvlr/"]South Africa[/a] as a 75th-minute substitute -- could boost Canada with Marsch saying the player would be available.[/p][p]"[b]They know how big a moment this is[/b]," he ⁠said. "[b]I expect their best performance ⁠of the tournament and it ‌would be foolish to expect anything else[/b]."[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/canada-x4toKORL/morocco-IDKYO3R8/?mid=pUYfr7u3"]Follow the match with Flashscore![/a][/b][/p]
