At 03:00 am on December 15, Beijing time, a focus battle will be staged in the 2022 Qatar World Cup semi-finals. Mbappe led by defending champion France faces Morocco, the largest dark horse team of this World Cup.
In terms of overall strength, this seems to be a very strong and weak match. Both the French team's strength on paper and overall combat effectiveness seem to have a crushing trend for Morocco. In the world ranking, France ranked 4th in the world and Morocco ranked 22nd in the world; the team's value is as high as 910 million euros, while the total value of the Moroccan team is only 240 million euros. Compared with the lineup of
, the two teams are one in the sky and one underground. Almost all of the French teams are world-class stars, Mbappe, Giroud , Dembele, and Chu Ameni, one is considered one, and they are almost all first-class players; and in Morocco, except for several famous stars such as Ashraf , Ziyech, they are almost all second- and third-rate players.
Due to the large gap in overall strength, the outside world's prediction of this game is almost optimistic about France. However, the author believes that although Morocco has limited strength on paper, there is still a possibility of defeating the French team in an upset manner. Moreover, the possibility is not small. Why do you say this? There are two main reasons.
First of all, although Morocco is a civilian team, it is disciplined, has strong tactical qualities, and is good at playing against the wind. More importantly, Morocco's defense line is as solid as a rock. In the first 5 games, they did not lose a single goal in positional battles except for conceding an own goal. This may leave the French team helpless. Once the game is dragged into overtime or penalty shootout by Morocco, the balance of the game may be tilted towards them.
Secondly, Morocco not only has terrifying defensive capabilities, but also has very good skills under his feet. defensive counterattack is also very fast and efficient. The two "tooths" of Spain and Portugal were removed in succession, which was enough to prove that Morocco was not an ordinary team. The French team has shortcomings in the defense line and loses goals in almost every game. Once Morocco seizes an opportunity to counterattack quickly, the French team may become very passive.
To sum up the above analysis, the author finally made a bold prediction. In this game, within 90 minutes of regular time, Morocco may draw with the French team 1:1. In the overtime, the French team may find it difficult to make achievements. Finally, in the cruel penalty shootout, Morocco's goal will once again exert the power of the "Wall of Sighs" and lead the team to surprise defeat the defending champion, and send Mbappe home.
