I want you to go to Morocco as one indivisible force, allow your passion to be fueled by patriotism and be good ambassadors of our great nation.

You all have a responsibility to be good role models and great motivators to our younger players (in the youth teams). Beyond all, you must be beacons of discipline and dedication, and exhibit exemplary conduct on and off the pitch.
