“The French were lucky in this match.” Bubnov admired the game of Morocco in the semi-finals of the World Cup
Sportbox.ru expert analyzed the second semi-final and gave predictions for the decisive match of the tournament.
Moroccans surprised
The Moroccan national team is the main sensation of the World Cup. Good defense helped the Africans to go very far in the tournament. It would seem that in a game with clear favorites there is nothing to surprise them with, but they surprised. The Moroccans entered the match and showed that they can play well in attack even against the French team.
Moroccan coach Walid Regragi is a great fellow. He accepted the national team just two months before the start of the tournament, but managed to put on a good game and led the team to the semi-finals. At the same time, the specialist showed that his players are able to rebuild during the meeting.
Functionally, the Moroccan national team looked good from the first to the last minute. Somewhere Regraga’s team didn’t have enough luck. The French were lucky in this match, as well as in the game with the British. The Africans had enough moments to score one and two goals. At times, the players of the French national team fought back with all their might.
Impressive Griezmann
A quick goal helped the Tricolors a lot. Intuition did not disappoint Theo Hernandez. The defender ended up in the penalty area during a positional attack in the right place. At the same time, no one took care of him at all. The player was also lucky that he “flashed” Buna, who was in the near corner. In the second ball of the French also not without luck. Kolo Muani scored with the first touch after entering the field. Mbappe played great in this moment.
Griezmann was deservedly recognized as the best player of the match. He acted great as a playmaker, managing the attacks of the French. Surprising is his large amount of work, given his position on the field. When the Moroccans began to crush, he regularly found himself in the support zone and helped the team neutralize the opponents’ attacks. A couple of times he literally saved the national team.
The final will be interesting.
The potential of the French is impressive. Despite heavy losses before the tournament, they made it to the final. For the first time in a long time, the Tricolors can become a team that has won two titles in a row. If not for Messi, then France would have been the clear favorite for the final. The Europeans are so strong and young that in four years they will claim the championship.
The confrontation promises to be exciting. There are enough technical players in both teams. The only thing is, I would not want it to turn into a real massacre, and someone got seriously injured.
