The match for the France national team against the Morocco in the Semifinals for 2022 World Cup, Wednesday, December 14, 2022, will be held at the Al Bayt Stadium (Al Khor) Stadium, broadcast live streaming. The match is expected to be fierce because both teams are ambitious to qualify for the final. Morocco will print new history, while France will also make history for 2 consecutive times to qualify for the World Cup final.
France won 2-1 over England in the quarter-finals. Harry Kane’s failure to take advantage of a golden opportunity through a penalty kick caused the mental collapse of the Three Lions players and raised the morale of the French players to win and advance to the semifinals.
Les Bleus has a unique style of play with great personal skills. Facing the Moroccan defense which is very strong, the French team can take advantage of long balls because the wingers filled by Kylian Mbappe and Dembele have high running speed to get those long balls behind the ball.
Moroccan defense is very solid. Starting from the group stage to the quarter-finals, Atlas Lion’s goal has only conceded once, namely against Canada in the third round of the 2022 World Cup. Even then, the goal did not come from the opposing team, but a goal from the Moroccan player himself, Nayef Aguerd in the 40th minute.
Obviously goalkeeper Yassine Bounou is the most important mainstay in defense. The Sevilla FC goalkeeper was able to keep the goal perfectly. Even Morocco could qualify for the quarter-finals because Bounou was able to hold off Spain’s three penalty kicks in the round of 16.
Morocco are in the semi-finals after beating Portugal 1-0 in the previous game. Atlas Lion’s winning goal, which sent Cristiano Ronaldo et al home early, was created thanks to a header from Youssef En-Nesyri who jumped high from Yahya Attiat-Allah’s long pass in the 42nd minute.
In terms of performance, the overall strength of Didier Deschamps’ army is stronger than Morocco, even though Morocco beat Spain and Portugal successively. The absence of Paul Pogba, Kante, Mike Maignan, Christopher Nkunku, Presnel Kimpembe and Karim Benzema did not weaken France’s strength to qualify for the semifinals. Even Mbappe and Olivier Giroud are competing with Lionel Messi as the 2022 World Cup top scorer.
Not to mention that in the French team there is still Griezmann. The Atletico Madrid striker is the best striker and creator of chances at this World Cup. However, it is predicted that Walid Reragui’s troops will play more relaxedly because they are actually not superior. Morocco is the first African team to play in the semifinals of the World Cup.
