Let’s talk about the third and fourth finals of the World Cup in the first game today: Croatia vs Morocco!
Seeing the referee list for this game, Xiaojiu was a little shocked.
Referee Al Jassim and his assistant referees are actually Qatari .
Everyone knows that although Morocco is an African country, they are also Arab countries. The official language is Arabic , which is the same language as Qatar .
Qatar is the first Arab country to hold the World Cup, and Morocco happens to be the first Arab country to reach the semi-finals.
Moreover, they have consistent beliefs, so is such a referee arrangement appropriate?
This is not over yet. There are 4 referees in VAR. Except for 1 Chile referee, the other 3 are from Brazil, one of which is the female referee, and the fourth official is also from Brazil.
Xiaojiu has been searching for a long time before finding their photos, you can take a look.
Who eliminated the Brazilian team? Can the referees be completely unemotional?
So as soon as this referee list came out, the Internet was in an uproar, and many media felt it was incredible.
Of course, these things are relatively virtual, just talk about it casually. Next, let’s talk about the fundamentals of .
fundamentals, Morocco is really too difficult.
is, they once played against Croatia in the first game of the group stage and played well.
But at that time they were the main players, and the entire team's physical fitness was also full.
What about now? The wounded soldiers were all over the camp.
Captain Seth fought with injuries while fighting Portugal and was carried out on a stretcher in 57 minutes. When he was playing against France, he played in a closed and forced appearance, and went down again in 20 minutes.
Another main central defender Agold also played in a closed position and forced his fight against France, but it still couldn't do it 5 minutes before the game, so he replaced it temporarily.
Mazravi and Amrabat also fought with injuries, and the main midfielder Amara came on the bench with injuries in 21 minutes, but he couldn't hold on in the second half and was replaced.
Today they may directly lose three main defenders and two main midfielders.
Behind their brilliant record, they really worked hard at any cost.
This schedule is also very excessive for them.
15 finished playing France at 5 a.m., and then played Croatia at 23 p.m. on the 17th (both Beijing time). This short 66-hour interval is really a drop in the bucket.
Not only did Croatia take a day off, but it also lost the suspense early in the last game, saving a lot of physical fitness.
Now they may be missing only four people: B Ronaldo, Lovren , Vlasic, and Yulanovic. Although
also has three main players, it is not a big problem in terms of Croatia's lineup depth.
so, the gap in strength between the two sides is much larger than that in the group stage.
However, the fighting intentions of both sides may also be different.
For Croatia, even if it gets third, it will be a downturn, after all, they are the runner-up in the last session.
(of course, this "downhill road" is also extremely high)
. For Morocco, every step forward, they will create new history.
If they get third place, this will be the first medal that Africa and Arab countries have won. It can be said to be a zero breakthrough, which is still very meaningful.
And Xiaojiu calculated that if Morocco could at least last the penalty shootout, then their world rankings would surpass Spain, Denmark, and Germany and enter the top ten in the world, which is also amazing.
Croatia's team is very resilient, but lacks the courage to rush to the end.
They have never led in regular time in the past 7 knockout matches in the past two sessions, never for a minute, Never!
As long as the opponent is not leading, they always drag in overtime infinitely.This is true for the strong teams such as Brazil and England, and the same is true for the Japanese and Russia.
They have been living for so long. Will this game, which is a bit downhill for them, suddenly become fierce? Isn't it a bit difficult?
Morocco paid such a great price to get here. Faced with this opportunity to refresh history, will they easily surrender at regular times? What do you think? The cocktail party expects them to have at least all overtime kicks.
, for other competitions today, Xiaojiu will still send you text analysis in the evening. If you have any questions, please ask me, "Look at the football and see it clearly", we will see you all!
If you like it, move your fingers, follow and like it!
