After Morocco's victory over the Netherlands, the Amsterdam-born player excitedly told the Dutch national broadcaster that this victory would be unforgettable for him.
"This is truly amazing, this is a night I will never forget, and I will carry it with me for the rest of my life," Salah-Eddine said after defeating the Netherlands, "I was very much looking forward to playing against the Netherlands, against my friends, and then showing them who is stronger. This night is beyond words, I feel fantastic."
When asked if he was surprised by the Dutch team's opening with a five-man defense, he said on ESPN: "Yes, it was a bit surprising, no one expected it. We were indeed surprised.

We will strive for the biggest goals and keep moving forward."
