Raja Sporting Club captain Badr Bannon spoke about the anticipated derby match against Wydad Athletic Club, scheduled to take place next Wednesday at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, as part of the postponed fifth round of the professional league.

In press statements following the tough victory over Olympic Dcheira, Bannon clarified that the pressure will be on Wydad as they sit at the top of the standings, adding: "Everyone knows that it is difficult for those at the top to maintain their position, so we will play with great focus and will try to take advantage of every possible opportunity."

The captain of the "Green Eagles" confirmed that the team's performance has not yet reached the level that the fans aspire to, but he emphasized that the group believes in teamwork and the approach taken by the coaching staff, noting that gradual improvement is coming as the matches progress.

Bannon concluded his remarks by affirming that the team will immediately begin preparations for the derby clash after the Dcheira match, in an atmosphere dominated by focus and ambition to achieve victory against their traditional rivals and regain the trust of their supporters.
