Four
years ago, Morocco were going places.
At France '98, with
Mustapha Hadji at the height of his powers, the Atlas
Lions played some of the silkiest football.
But now that looks
like a false dawn. At the last Nations Cup they showed
none of that sparkle, being knocked out in the first
round, and were the most disappointing side there.
Missing out on Japan
and Korea on goal difference was another knock to
their confidence.
Now, with players
like Hadji out of the side, they are struggling to
find their former flair.
Coach Humberto Coelho
needs to sort that out, and find a solution to their
scoring problems.
His toughest job,
though, will be restoring self-belief.
