Despite Morocco’s 3-1 win over Indonesia in the first match of the Jordan International Football Tournament, coach Hervé Renard still faces four key concerns ahead of the team’s clash with Iraq.

The first concern is the lack of a solid defensive line, especially in handling counterattacks, as the team conceded a goal from a quick break.

Second, the forwards need to improve finishing accuracy. Morocco scored three goals but missed several clear chances, highlighting a need for sharper attacking efficiency.

Third, midfield coordination remains inconsistent. Passes between defenders and midfielders sometimes fail to reach the target, disrupting possession and team rhythm.

Finally, fitness and stamina are under scrutiny. Some players showed fatigue in the second half, raising concerns about endurance for upcoming matches in the tournament.

Renard is expected to focus training sessions on strengthening defensive organization, finishing drills, midfield link-up, and boosting player stamina before facing Iraq.
