Analysis.. How can Morocco beat Portugal in the 2022 World Cup?

 

A historic achievement achieved by the Moroccan national team, by qualifying for the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, but it has to look beyond that against Portugal.

 

The Moroccan national team was able to beat its Spanish counterpart, by penalty kicks, on Tuesday evening, at the Education City Stadium, in the final price of the 2022 World Cup, after the end of the original and additional time, with a goalless draw.

 

And the “Atlas Lions” will have to face a difficult challenge in order to reach the semi-finals, when they face the Portugal team led by Cristiano Ronaldo, next Saturday.

 

Through the following report, Al Ain Sports reviews the method that the Moroccan national team should rely on in order to overcome Portugal's hurdle in the quarter-finals.






How does Morocco beat Portugal in the 2022 World Cup?

 

The Moroccan national team played the Spain match in a balanced manner, characterized by a relative defensive decline and reliance on rebounding balls.

 

Coach Walid Regragui could make some changes in his playing style during the match against Portugal, which might confuse the calculations of Ronaldo's comrades, as they might expect the Moroccan national team to play the match with the same style and defensive reservations that it adopted in the "La Roja" match.

 

Experts answer.. How did Morocco defeat Spain in the 2022 World Cup?

 

It should also be the Moroccan national team's attack trio; Hakim Ziyash, Sofiane Boufal and Youssef Al-Nusairi were at the top of their focus during the Spain match, and they tried to take advantage of all the opportunities that could be provided for them in order to score goalkeeper Diogo Costa.

What does the Moroccan national team fear against Portugal in the 2022 World Cup?

 

Beating Spain and reaching this role may make some players overconfident, which may lead to undesirable consequences against Portugal.

 

The Moroccan national team must enter the match as if it has not done anything yet, and therefore it must enter with the same hunger, thirst, spirit and sacrifice, as well as with less psychological pressure than its counterpart, given that it has achieved what is required of it.

 

Technically, the Moroccan national team suffers from a clear defect in the midfield, which is Walid Regraki's squad lacking a player capable of linking the lines. Despite having distinguished players on the periphery, the depth of the midfield is almost poor in this regard, and therefore the team finds it very difficult to build offensively. .

 

The Moroccan national team has Salim Amlah and Azzedine Onahi, two players who are good at pressuring the keys to play opponents, and they are also good at disturbing the ball carriers in the middle of the field.

 

But on the offensive level, this duo often leaves a clear rift between the midfield and the attack, as they lose the ball quickly, as well as due to their slow decision-making, whether at the level of passing, dribbling and shooting.








There is no room for errors

 

In the final price match, the Moroccan national team players gave their Spanish counterpart several mistakes near the operations box, but fortunately the "La Roja" players did not take advantage of them perfectly, due to the short stature of most of the players, as well as the brilliance of goalkeeper Yassin Bono in other shots.

 

Against Portugal, mistakes should be avoided near the operations box, because Bruno Fernandez's comrades are able to translate set-pieces into goals, given the vast length that most players are distinguished by, such as defender Pepe.

 

It is no secret to anyone that the Moroccan national team made a great physical effort and its players consumed huge energy during the Spain match, but they should recover quickly because the next match against Portugal also requires a double effort.

 

The Moroccan national team played 120 arduous minutes against Spain, while the Switzerland match was like a picnic for the Portuguese players, and therefore the physical factor falls into the category of coach Fernando Santos' team.
