Morocco
In the group stage, in a game between Morocco and Croatia, the two teams shook hands and made peace. The feeling that the fans at that time was that Morocco was always a weak team. Although it tied the powerful Croatia, it also proved that the world runner-up's offensive advantage was constantly being narrowed four years later. However, when both teams made it to the quarterfinals along the way, we can see that the competition between them is because of their own advantages.
Morocco's advantage lies in his defense. From the group stage to the quarterfinals, Morocco only had one own assist. Strictly speaking, Morocco did not lose a single goal, which shows that the team's defensive advantage is enough to be comparable to Croatia. This should be their most advantage in facing Portugal. If they can enter the overtime game with penalty kicks, it depends purely on luck. This should be something Morocco wants to see.
But for Morocco, defense is never the key to the team's victory. They can defeat Belgium and draw the Spanish team. In addition to defense, it can really be said that they do not have much advantage in facing strong teams. Once the ball is lost, this will be an irreversible situation for Morocco. It may not be easy to win the draw and overtake the powerful Portuguese team.
Portugal
For the Portuguese team, 90% of fans hope that the head coach can let C Ronaldo come on as a substitute again, or not appear. In fact, fans should also be able to see that the Portuguese team has obvious advantages, but its disadvantages are more prominent. Whether Ronaldo is the only disadvantage in Portugal's way forward seems inappropriate, but in short, Ronaldo's appearance as a substitute should make Portugal a whole.
Portuguese's advantage lies in its offense. There is no doubt that in the process of group stage and knockout stage, Portugal's super offensive strength has been reflected, which is very difficult for all teams to defend. So compared with Portugal, as long as they can lead the goal in the game, Portugal has a very strong advantage, but it cannot be taken lightly, or Portugal has not encountered a strong opponent before.
Just like the match between Brazil and Croatia, Brazil has many opportunities to penetrate Croatia's goal, but it always lacks the component of luck. The scene is dominant but it eventually drags to the penalty shootout. The same is true for Portugal, trying to decide the winner within 90 minutes, otherwise it will be a huge advantage for the Moroccan team.
summary
Morocco is very similar to Croatia. If they can defend until the end of overtime and pass the penalty shootout, then they have half the chance to advance. The Portuguese team should refer to the Brazilian team's game, don't take it lightly, and you can't be like Argentina team, shrink and defend after leading. Offensive teams always need to attack. The defense after leading can only show how weak the team's defensive strength is. If the best defense meets the best offense, will the previous script be staged?
