But ten days after the opening of hostilities, Casablancais be found in the final after eliminating successively Auckland City FC, Monterrey CF and Atlético Mineiro . Three successes to which is added a fourth victory against a tough opponent even more : logic. " The surprise is everywhere in football, and when we entered the field , there are more strong team and weak teams ," said Iajour told FIFA.com after the victory over the champion of South America . " We first proved facing Monterrey won more Champions Leagues , then face the Brazilians , who were heavily favored favorites ! However , the Raja who will play the final. There are more logic , it is on the ground he must prove that you are favorite. "
Field precisely Iajour has used it to prove that the qualities that enabled him to shine in all the clubs where he rose to become international and Moroccan have not disappeared overnight after the title of champion Morocco 2013. With a goal, a penalty caused and races to go crazy Brazilian defenders Iajour was named man of the match and moved top scorer , tied with Argentine Cesar Delgado . "I really hope I can finish this individually ," he announced without false modesty. " With two goals and one more game to play , it is possible and it would be an extraordinary accomplishment after all our efforts in this tournament. I really hope I will score in the final. "
released offensively
When you know the opponent is called the FC Bayern Munich, the task is difficult, but for Iajour , nor against Ronaldinho and his teammates also given winners in the semifinals . Especially since the arrival of Faouzi Benzarti replacing Mhamed Fakhir just before the tournament has overshadowed the attacker to 28 years his meager statistics of two goals in 11 matches Botola . " He brought something new , he made the best of ourselves by giving us confidence ," Judge former player of Sporting Charleroi . " The previous coach had a rather defensive tactic, while now , the philosophy is different. We never give up playing attack whatever the course of the match . We released offensively. "
But it is also in the tactical choices that we must seek the reason for the metamorphosis of Raja in the space of a few days. " We have not lost so many matches it , but still , we could no longer play our game because we already thought of the World Cup ," admits Iajour to explain the three defeats and a draw granted before the opening of Morocco 2013. " We've focused on the competition, and only her. Surely too , is what made us lose energy and motivation for the championship. "
Return in force
A period that is certainly Raja pointing to 9th place , eight points behind with two games late, but pays off in the global tournament. "It's a blessing in disguise ," says the lone striker aligned with three leaves game Benzarti far. "It played tricks on us in the league but this excess concentration allowed us to be successful in this World Cup . Now, with this course , you are sure to come back strong for the championship. "
Morale will be even more enhanced if local realized the feat of beating the Bavarians in the final. The task is difficult but in a country of 32 million people , they are now 32 million ... believe it! " We are all aware that there are hopes around the Raja with our performance in this World Cup , and see people in the streets jollities confirms that feeling ," says Iajour , determined to relive those scenes of joy again . "Our dream began qualifying for the tournament, and was continued until the final. It would be a shame to stop dreaming now ..."
