Laughter during the post-match press conference: Bounou brings back the iconic “لانݣلي نقية”
Between two decisive saves and a historic qualification for the AFCON final, Yassine Bounou did not forget to bring out his sense of humor. The hero of the semi-final against Nigeria offered fans a delightful moment by teasing journalist Ahmed Talal, director of Le7tv, with a phrase that instantly became cult during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar: “My brother Talal, your English is always perfect!” (خويا طلال… لانݣلي ديما نقية).
A small joke, delivered in good spirits, that made everyone smile and brought back the beautiful emotions of the last World Cup in Qatar. Proof that even under pressure, Bounou keeps his reflexes sharp, both on the goal line and in his quick wit.
Between seriousness on the pitch and a friendly atmosphere off it, the Lions of the Atlas once again prove that their strength also lies in this family spirit, where performance goes hand in hand with complicity. And as the final approaches, one thing is certain: Ahmed Talal’s perfect English is still there at the post-match press conference, and so is the crowd in the stadium.
