Mario Melchiot

I wanted Morocco to put the mat out perfectly.

But no, they go and do that.

It's not going to help them.

And I, yeah, I'm sorry for that, man.

It's not going to help.

You agree, Mario?

Yeah, no, I agree with the guys.

But then, you know, I was happy that I saw Mane, you know, because I watched the game.

Look, also for the spectators, right?

You know, like me, I'm not for either side, you know, because I just want to see beautiful football and I see whoever wins the final.

But then you're watching.

The key thing is when I saw Mane calling his team out and saying, like, guys, come on, we're going to play this game like men, he said.

So watching him, just the motivation that he created for his team, and then go out there and play again, and then they end up winning the game, okay, that's to a side.

But I was happy that he could turn things around because it could have been even bigger than that.

Because if he would have walked off, then everyone would have been gone.

Imagine every player is in the dressing room and then trying to get them back out.

everybody's there now there was maybe one or two was still you know between and he was one of them so i was happy that he could do that because he had the influence on his team and then you could see also the how important this game he wanted prior to that then he can win it again sometimes people don't realize how big the african cup of nation is i've never played in it but the way i watch it oh my god this is one of the cups that i would love to participate in

Because it is incredible the joy that the guys get and the respect representing their country and the way the battles are going.

Now, this is something really beautiful to be part of.

But it's sad that it ended like this.
