Chipolopolo coach Avram Grant is confident that Zambia won't succumb to fear as they face 2022 World Cup semi-finalists Morocco in a crucial Group F AFCON match on Wednesday at Laurent Pokou Stadium. Reflecting on their previous match against Tanzania, where 10-man Zambia staged a comeback in the 87th minute of the game through Patson Daka, Grant acknowledged Morocco's superiority on paper but assured that fear won't be a factor. "Morocco is a very good team but we don’t fear them. The team is better than us on paper no doubt they are a very good team." Grant said Zambia needs to work very hard in order to achieve a favorable outcome from the Atlas Lions. "But we have to give a good performance against them, and I think you saw the second half character we showed against Tanzania and we have to show the same character in the last game," he said. Currently third in Group F with two points, Zambia faces the challenge of a formidable Moroccan side leading the pack with four points, followed by DR Congo.
