Chelle claimed his team is motivated to go all the way this time around.
“Yes, it’s going to be difficult to win because there are 24 very good teams and some very good coaches,” Chelle told Cafonline.
“I know I’ve got a team that’s out for revenge, and I’m out for revenge too, so we’re going to have a lot of fun.
“We know what this team is capable of, and our goal is clear—to lift the trophy in Morocco.”
