Morocco defenders will face a really huge threat. Mbappe being in the first place, players like Giroud and Griezmann are also going to be a big threat to them. These three players have been in a great shape lately. Actually Mbappe couldn't play like he wanted against England but it was still not a problem for France. Griezmann - Giroud duo put on a good show anyway.

Morocco can only try to have defend them in an area rather than trying man-to-man. They have been successful about this against some big teams so far. But I think this won't work against France for a long time.

I frequently remark that Morocco is a very lucky team; otherwise, they wouldn't have enough quality players to compete at this level in this tournament, but they are very fortunate and possess the best defenders. Mbappe, Griezmann, and Giroud are excellent players who consistently take advantage of their opportunities, whereas Morocco's attackers have a poor finishing rate. As a result, I anticipate France to win the game and put an end to Morocco.

Well, I'm not saying much, because there is so much speculation that there are teams that can overtake others, that just looking at the example of Spain, Germany, Portugal, which are very strong countries and were taken out by teams that very few people thought, so I don't know if Mbappé and his entire combo are capable of taking out the Moroccans, because3 honestly they play football very well and what I like is that they don't give up, they are persistent, if they score a goal they don't rest until they draw, it's In other words, they don't get discouraged and that's the good thing about those teams, because they don't care about anything but they only visualize the victory.

Moroccos Nayef Aguerd to France before World Cup: Well see you in the semi-finals or the final, thats for sure.

Quote

According to LÉquipe Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd told his French teammates at West Ham, notably Alphonse Areola, that he would be meeting them in the semi-finals of World Cup. What would have been an outlandish statement at the beginning of the tournament has now become reality for Morocco, the first African side to have reached the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Before departing for Doha, Aguerd told France back-up goalkeeper and West Ham teammate: Well get through the groups and well see you in the semi-finals or the final, thats for sure.

These players and this team from Morocco is the best example that knowing how to choose players is the strategy that can make a team look good. I only look at the strategies of some countries like Spain that practically only led Barcelona to play leaving on the outside to a Sergio Ramos and a Lucas who easily do not score goals and would have been valuartes, perhaps Spain would have made another story, just like Portugal leaving a CR7 on the bench, when you know that a star like that should never be take him out of the stadium, use him in every way, but there are technicians that I don't know how to call them, but they still have a lot to know about football, something that the Croats and Argentines don't have, who use their Legends without taking them out like Modric and Messi.
