In this World Cup, Morocco is regarded as the number one dark horse without any controversy. Even the French coach Deschamps praised this African team in the pre-match press conference, "Morocco is a team that we didn't expect to enter the semi-finals before. We will take it very seriously whether it is preparation or competition.”
After knocking out Portugal in the last round, Morocco once again made history, refreshing the team’s best record in the World Cup, and at the same time making history The first African team to break into the top four of the World Cup, Morocco can be described as a national celebration.
is now in the semi-finals. Morocco's opponent is the defending champion France.
According to the statistics of Dezhuan, the Moroccan team is only worth 144 million euros, and the French team is worth as much as 990 million euros, with a total of 1.134 billion euros, or about 8.4 billion yuan. Of course, the teams that can enter the top 4 are not weak in actual combat effectiveness , Spain and Portugal were both eliminated by Morocco because they underestimated the enemy and were upset by Morocco. Now France also has such a possibility.
First of all, Morocco has achieved the ultimate defense. Italy, which won the 2006 World Cup, conceded only one own goal in the first five games. Now Morocco has copied Italy's defensive performance. It only scored an own goal against Canada in the group stage, and entered the knockout round against Spain and Portugal. Big teams did not concede 1 goal.
For the cup, winning depends on offense, and winning the championship depends on defense, so a team that defends well can often go further and further, so Morocco has such a good defense, why can't it continue to soar?
One more thing, Morocco has "home field advantage". In the last two knockout games, there were more fans cheering for Morocco than the opponents. Now a large number of Moroccan domestic fans are rushing to Qatar, which will make the Moroccan players more effective. It is not impossible to knock out France in an upset.
Therefore, we can boldly predict in advance that Morocco will eventually win 1-0 and eliminate France. If the suspense cannot be ended in 90 minutes, it is possible to win the game in overtime and create a World Cup miracle again.
