At 3 a.m. Beijing time on December 15, the second match of the World Cup semi-finals will start between France and Morocco , and the winner will face Argentina in the final.
As the 2018 Russian World Cup champion, the French team is eager to defeat Morocco and enter the finals. Head coach Deschamps said that the Moroccan team, which made its first final four, deserves respect, but the French team will not be affected by opponents and off-court factors.
At present, the French team has sufficient personnel reserves, and the three front, middle and back courts have world-class players.
"I am eager to lead the team to defeat the opponent and enter the finals." French team head coach Deschamps said, "We need to adapt to every opponent, and the French team's technical team will also guarantee the entire team and play the best strength in the game."
In this World Cup, the Moroccan team's defense line is as solid as a rock and conceded only one goal. Whether it is Croatia , Belgium , Spain and Portugal, they have not been able to break through the Moroccan defense line. Whether the French team can break this iron-blooded defense has become the biggest suspense of this game.
"Speedness and intensity will be the key to the French team's victory against Morocco. The French team must pass quickly to collapse the opponent's defense." French team's main defender Conde said, "This will be a difficult and fierce game. They are a team that has been tested in succession, so we must take this opponent seriously and always keep our focus on the game."
As of now, Mbappe and Giroud have scored a total of 9 goals in this World Cup, and Dembele and Griezmann are also in their best condition. Head coach Deschamps believes that the French team has maintained a good state in this World Cup and has a strong desire to win.
"I was not surprised by the performance of the players. They live together every day, and the team is very united, and the results of the game just say everything." Deschamps said, "The results on the court have made the players unite unprecedentedly, and this is exactly why we can enter the semi-finals."
Faced with this life-and-death battle with the defending champion , Morocco head coach Regraj said that the team currently has a lot of injuries, but this will not become an obstacle for the Moroccan team to advance to the finals. "This is the only chance for Morocco to win the World Cup," Regraghi said.
"We have been moving forward in this World Cup. Every step forward, the more difficult the game is." He said, "We are about to face the defending champions, and they have the best national team coach in the world. We have to continue playing the game the way we were before and find ways to create surprises again. Why can't we advance to the World Cup final?"
"If we are complacent about advancing to the semi-finals, I will not be satisfied with myself. I want to advance to the final. I hope the French team does not respect us. Otherwise, the game may be more difficult. Personally, whether I encounter France or Brazil, the only thing I want is to advance to the next round. I just want to beat the best team in the world."
Regraj said that there are a lot of injuries in the Morocco team, but they have the right way to deal with it. "Our team doctor has a very high standard and can always receive positive news. As for now, no one is sure to miss this game, and no one will definitely play. As usual, we can't confirm the starting eleven people until the last moment before the game."
"Tomorrow's game, we will be full of unlimited energy. We are not tired at all, and we will continue running tomorrow."
