"Coach Mokwena is very demanding, and this is normal, because when you raise the level you will meet a coach of a high level, and I hope we do not disappoint him," the 27-year-old told the club's media, per Moroccan news site Al3omk.
The player went on to speak about the training environment he now finds himself in and outlined his goals as a Red Castle star.
"The training is taking place in a wonderful atmosphere at a strong pace, and we are capable of it, God willing.
"My goal with Wydad is to win all continental and local titles, and why not even international titles.
"We also aspire to be among the best generations that have passed through the history of this team."
